Ammunition Data
Note that the penetration values below ("RHAe" in millimeters) are line of sight (LOS) estimations measured at the muzzle against a semi-infinite target meeting the specifications for a NATO single heavy type array. As the armor model of Steel Beasts Professional takes in to account armor angle along with velocity fall off due to range and armor composition, actual in-sim penetration values may vary considerably (generally lower) than what is listed. It should be noted that the penetration values for HE and incendiary rounds do not represent actual RHA equivalent perforation limits, but are instead provided for comparative purposes.
The "Range" column indicates a given round's "maximum effective range" and the cutoff range for AI engagements, not the round's maximum possible range. This value is derived from published data representing such factors as tracer burnout (small arms and HMG), ballistic computer limitations, or the round's performance degrading below the 50% probability of hit/kill threshold.

Based on the penetration value of the BM-4 and BM-6, the BM-4 cannot penetrate the Shot Kal from the front, but the BM-6 can penetrate it in the front hull area.

Note that Steel Beasts Professional does not simulate the actual arming or "gathering" ranges for all ATGMs but instead inhibits computer controlled units from firing their missiles within certain ranges. This means that it is possible for units to be destroyed by certain ATGMs if the missile is fired before the element in question is below the minimum range indicated above.
