I'm making a hit probability table for the T-55 (with standard 100mm cannon) and FAS is giving me conflicting information.
http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/row/t54tank.htm
What is the difference between maximum aimed range and effective range? And if the ammunition says its max range is 2500m, does that change anything or is the tank the limiting factor in this equation.
Effectively, the website is telling me a normal round's max range is 2500m, the max aimed range is 2000m, and the max effective range is 800m.
I need to pick a range that a typical T-55 would have a 100% chance of hitting a tank sized object, then increment the percent of a direct hit all the way down to 10%.
