Yup, the success of the SU-152 is a good illustration of this. With enough weight youdon't even need explosivesohh BTW did you know that artillery is actualy fairly effective against tanks (I mean standard HE shells not stuff such as Bonus submunition)??

Since most tanks these days tend to have full NBC protection, I don't know how that effective would be against modern armour in terms of harming the crew and disabling the tank.POLAND_SPUD wrote:Is the overpressure really that deadly for the optical equipment and such

It depends really, what do they mean by rendering them useless? Does the overpressure knock sights and rangefinders out of alignment? does it crack the protective glass? It would seem like a relatively easy fix to harden such systems against blast.POLAND_SPUD wrote:rendering their observation systems useless? at least that's what the russians claim

I do recall that some sources claim that an RPO has more less equivalent power to 152mm shells so that at least seems to support the ideaThe Soviets claimed that 122-mm and 120-mm mortars and
152-mm artillery rounds achieved very high levels of damage
against tanks and armored personnel carriers.

Other possibilities offered were that the database for US models was incorrect or not used properly.
Further research revealed the Soviets had a large database
developed by an extensive live-fire test program.
