There are plenty of cartridge names that do not exactly match the actual diameter of the projectile in small arms, I’m sure the same applies to cannons. I have no idea whether or not the 150mm/15cm gun uses single piece or two piece ammunition, but in either event, the outside diameter of the case could well be 15cm, while the diameter of the actual projectile is 14.9cm, it really depends on how it is measured, and there is no single fixed standard for that.

.44 Special/Magnum ammunition uses .429-.430 caliber bullets, .38 Special bullets are .357-.358 in diameter. As mentioned above, the 7.92x57mm Mauser is commonly referred to as 8mm Mauser. 7.62mm bullets in NATO countries are commonly .308 in diameter, while 7.62mm from former Soviet Bloc countries are normally .311 in diameter.

The point being, inexact cartridge names/projectile measurements are not at all uncommon.

In all honesty, you may as well not even bother shooting the Maus at all, and you may as well not even bother shooting APCR at the E100. That does not mean the E-100 cannot be penned though. You just need to be close enough to hit the police bar on top, and then you will pen with AP or APCR. And if you hit anywhere else, you will not pen (whether you are using AP or APCR). The same logic applies to fighting a KV-5 with a low pen gun: you’ll either hit R2D2 and pen, or hit somewhere else and bounce, whether you’re shooting standard or prem.

It looks great if you drive it, but if you compare it with Maus and E-100. Listed stat for reaload are better then T10! Even IS-8 with 122 has worse dpm then this with 15cm gun. For my opinion facing this with T9 or T10 will be difficult and penetration of many T9 med is aroud 210, 220mm vs 180mm side armor, you have to be very straight to it. We have to wait how it perform in action, but well armored T9 with 2300DPM and 750 alpha is to high for me…

Load APCR/HEAT or spot it for your arty/bigger tanks. Otherwise, don’t shoot it, use common fucking sense.

Load APCR/HEAT then, or let your hightiers kill it. If you’re trying to face this thing with say a T43, you’re a fucking idiot.

It’s slower, boxier, and way bigger. Your point is?
