Among them, armor-piercing projectiles mainly rely on the kinetic energy given by high initial velocity to damage enemy tanks, and the lethality decreases with the increase of distance.
So as the moderator said, it is generally around 3000 meters.
If the enemy tanks are well protected, they need large kinetic energy and short effective range.
On the other hand, if a modern tank hits T34, its effective range will be greatly expanded, and sometimes it will penetrate two cars. (In the Gulf War, the shells of M 1A2 shot through the sand wall, then penetrated the turret of T72, and finally penetrated the sand wall of the other side. This is the case. )
In principle, the latter missiles do not need to kill the enemy through muzzle kinetic energy.
As long as the maximum range is provided (of course, there is a difference between the effective range and the maximum range, and the effective range refers to the maximum range that the fire control device can control within the precision range).
So it can reach more than 10km. At present, the average technical level is less than 2.5 km! The effective fire fighting distance is the effective fire fighting distance, and the effective fire fighting distance is the effective fire fighting distance. Tanks can also shoot at will, and that shooting distance is not the distance that the night sight system can provide services. Many of them are guided by fire provided by infantry or dispatched tank crew. During the day, the effective distance of the tank sighting system is much greater than the value of 2.5 kilometers, and the killing records of T55 or 59 tanks and other ordinary tank ammunition destroyed 5 kilometers away are not without. The key is that the sighting condition is in the desert with a wide view, isn't it? Supplementary answer to the accusation: the maximum range of Type 89 120mm anti-tank gun is 9000m, and the initial velocity is 960m/s \(o)/ The maximum range of tank gun is limited by the elevation angle of tank gun. As far as I know, the maximum elevation angle of general tank guns is below +20 degrees or 19 degrees (. In addition, the domestic old 59 tank adopts 100 mm line-bore gun, and the maximum elevation angle of the gun is+19 degrees, and the maximum range of a fully loaded Grenade may be 14600 meters.
The maximum range of 2a46m Grenade can reach 12km+, which is of course limited by the elevation angle of tank gun. If the elevation angle can reach about 50 degrees, the estimated range is greater than 52 caliber 155mm gun. It seems that the biggest damage on the battlefield was done by the British Challenger in the first Gulf War. It made full use of the accuracy of the rifled gun and destroyed the Iraqi tank at a distance of 5 100 meters ... The report continued to ask: What is its maximum effective range and maximum ineffective range? France has studied anti-tank missiles directly launched by tank guns, which is the famous Accra missile. It is guided by laser beam, flying at a speed of 500m/s and with a maximum range of 3,800m. It should be the most threatening target found by the captain, locked by the fire control system, and handed over to the captain to find the next one himself, but in case the captain finds a more threatening target at the same time, he will. This requires that the conductor should not only look far/wide, but also look as accurately as a gunner, and aim at shooting accurately and evaluate the effect. This ability is the development direction of tank fire control system in the future, but it is also complicated and expensive. (China's 99 is not mass-produced for this reason, but maintained at a low speed of 10 vehicles per month. It is rare for countries/regions to independently develop and produce such fire control systems. Around China, the United States, Russia and Japan have the ability and are equipped with such tanks. South Korea, China, Taiwan Province Province, India and Pakistan all have tanks equipped with this capability, but they are unable to make their own production. The range of 99 main battle tank is really amazing. The ZTZ-99 tank has a maximum range of 5.2 kilometers. From the hunting fire control system, we are surprised to find that the range of Type 99 main battle tank is really amazing. The screen shows that the target distance is 479 1 m. According to outside estimates, the maximum range of ZTZ-99 tank is 5.2 kilometers. It seems that the legend is true, far exceeding the maximum range of 4000m of M 1A2. The "Leopard 2" main battle tank is equipped with a powerful power system with 1500 horsepower, with a top speed of over 70 kilometers per hour, and the effective range of the 120 mm caliber main gun exceeds 4,000 meters. 1000 ~ 1200mm tank armor with anti-penetration and armor-piercing ability adds domineering to ZTZ-99, which is enough to resist general-level artillery shells and non-absolute hit armor-piercing attacks. In terms of speed, it is also far faster than the US M 1A2 tank 13km/h ... It is more suitable for the vast and harsh battlefield environment such as woodland, hills and desert. The brand-new night vision device also makes the range of the tank more accurate. In the dynamic confrontation exercise, the hit rate of ZTZ-99 reached 90%!
