With the ability to penetrate 78mm of 90° armor at 1500 meters, the PaK 40 could easily penetrate the B1 at all normal combat ranges.Some of our older articles, like the B1 bis, are incorrect and need updating.Required 6 months production time per unit?? To destroy hostile tanks, artillerymen often used field guns depressed to fire directly at their targets. Turán III medium tank and 44M.

They first designed the Pak 37 in 1935, but the German authorities did not approve it because of its low capabilities. It was produced in large quantities and widely copied, but by 1940 the thicker armour of many tanks was making the gun ineffective (it got the nickname of 'Panzeranklopfer' - 'armour door-knocker' as a result). This light anti-tank gun entered service in 1936 and proved to be an excellent weapon. After the Spanish Civil War, the German authorities started to think that a new anti-tank gun would be needed, even though the 3.7 cm Pak 36 had proven to be very successful.

Just wanted to add that you forgot to mention the Sdkfz 234/4 in the “Armored Vehicles Equipped With the PaK 40” list.A small addition: The production licence of the PaK 40 was also purchased by Hungary, where it would have been produced under the name of ‘7,5 cm 40 M. páncéltörő ágyú’.

Zrínyi I assault gun prototypes.I was wondering if it were possible to insert armor penetration values using various ammunition types of the PAK-40, if you choos to please list the degree from horizontal the plate is angled at.Thank you for bringing this up. Bundessprachenamt (Stand Januar 2001), page. Anti-tank guns deployed during World War II were often manned by specialist infantry rather than artillery crews, and issued to light infantry units accordingly.Although a number of large caliber guns were developed during the war that were capable of knocking out the most heavily armored tanks, they proved expensive and difficult to conceal.The first specialized anti-tank weaponry consisted of Towards the end of World War II, armor plating became still thicker, with tanks such as the Towed anti-tank guns disappeared from most Western countries, such as the United States, after World War II, to be replaced by shoulder-fired rocket launchers, recoilless rifles, and eventually, At the end of the war, German engineers had proposed a new large caliber anti-tank gun that used less propellant than a rocket or recoilless weapon, yet fired similar compact hollow charge shells.Anti-tank guns continued to be used in a number of conflicts around the world, such as the Although still being drawn by horses or towed by trucks, towed anti-tank guns were initially much lighter and more portable than field guns, making them well-suited to infantry maneuvers.The first self-propelled anti-tank guns were merely belated attempts to make use of obsolete tanks, such as the Tank destroyers offered some advantages over towed anti-tank guns, since a static gun emplacement sacrificed concealment and surprise after firing the first shot; however, the same gun mounted on a tracked or wheeled chassis could open fire and throw a tank formation into substantial disarray before quickly withdrawing to repeat the same tactic elsewhere.By the end of the war, dedicated tank destroyers had been superseded by tanks, which were just as effective at destroying other tanks, and there was little incentive to continue their separate development.OXFORD Advanced Lerner's DICTIONARY opf Current English, NEW EDITION, Cornelsen & OXFORD, A S Hornby, 5th edition, page 42.MILITÄRISCHES STUDIENGLOSAR ENGLISCH Teil II/ Teil III, Deutsch – Englisch, Abkürzung Begriff, However, once Operation Barbarossa (the invasion of the Soviet Union) began and the German military encountered the heavily armored Heereswaffenamt documents give the following statistics for the penetration values of the PaK 40 (all against 60-degree angle):-The PaK 40 remained relevant until the end of the war, being able to pierce the armor of almost any Allied tank.
