T58 HESH vs IS-7 turret | 155mm T152E5 HEP | Armor Penetration Simulation

Simulation of HESH shell from T-58 tank gun hitting turret front armor of IS-7. 155mm T152E5 HEP (32.2kg HESH shell, 11.8kg Composition A-3) at 500 m/s vs ~165mm CHA at (~50° + ~45° turret constructional angles) (angle of fall 1°, side angle 5°) 155mm T180 gun muzzle velocity (HESH) - 557m/s (500m/s at ~0.5km) calculation time ~190h Early US HESH (American designation HEP) shells appear to lack an inert nose pad, which helps distribute the explosive across the armor (and prevents premature ignition). This may have something to do with the fact that the T152E5 could penetrate 8" of armor at a 0° angle but was unable to do so at a 60°. While British HESH shells performed better at medium to high angles.
