the points on AP rounds are for aerodynamics to maximise velocity, not penetration. the tips immediately deform on impact.

soviet steel tungsten rods were crap against that too

i didn't.

>Not enough against T-64Bs
more than enough against it, in fact soviets had to weld thick steel plates on the front just to reduce the penetration range to about 1km against them. considering glaring vulnerabilities of soviet armor scheme majority of tank's projection would be readily penetrated by that point, and it'd remain so even despite armor upgrades like on the T-72B
