[Panzergranate]

Actually the 17 Pdr. was able was penetarte the Tiger II at 1,000 meters is a lower hull nose (100mm. sloped) or front turrent hit (185mm.) with the APDS round fron late 1944 onwards.

By comparison, the 88mm. L71 gun of the Tiger II could penetrate a maximum of just over 290 mm. at the same range.

Now there is some confusion and mythology concerning peformnaces of AT weapons. Because a gun has a maximum penetration figure at range X doesn't actually mean that every shell fired will achieve this due to countless lawas of physics. AT gun designers have been aware of this since the science became.

For example, a gun has a maximum penetration, when tested, of 100mm. (best result attained).
