The first armor-piercing round was the 6.32 kg (13.9 lb) M72 AP-T, a plain uncapped armor-piercing round whose performance dropped off as range increased due to poor aerodynamics. The M72 was replaced by the 6.63 kg (14.62 lb) M61 armor-piercing ballistic capped high explosive with tracer (APCBC-HE-T) shell.

It has a 1.5-caliber radius of ogive, a rotating band gilding metal, a fringing groove, a single groove for stab crimping of the cartridge case to the projectile, and a boat-tail base with a 9 degree taper.

The AP performance of the gun was not great, but it was more than enough to handle Panzer III and IV tanks on an even basis. It also proved effective against tanks like then Panther and Tiger in real

The AP shell for the 75 mm gun was a 15 lb (6.8 kg) projectile with a couple of ounces (60 g) of HE filling propelled by a 2 lb (900 g) charge to 2,000 feet per second (610 m/s). In British service, the AP shell was used without its explosive filling and as such was referred to as "AP Shot M61".

2015年6月19日 · It would seem silly to get rid of a round that was completely superior to the M-61 against the most common type of armor found on German tanks. Since M72 AP could penetration 92mm of RHA at 500m, and 84mm at 750m, this seems much more in line with the performance of the gun in ALL of the CM games.

Packing a punch in the field of Light Tanks and Tier 1 Mediums, the 75mm AP M72 only meets its match counterparts-wise with the 7.5cm Panzergranate 39 and 76.2mm UBR-354A. Unfortunately, it ultimately serves little use as the 75mm APC, M61, Shot serves as a …
