Aug 8, 2024 · It’s crazy but the fuze for the 88mm Pzgr. weighs a whooping 950g with tracer, compared to the Pzgr. 39 fuze, which weighs merely around ~333g. What’s interesting is that the 128mm Pzgr. and Pzgr. 43 are pretty much the same design as the 88mm Pzgr., having an enormous cavity but the fuze for the 128mm is actually much smaller, weighing ...

Sep 23, 2024 · I really gotta try that shell, everyone keeps talking wonders about it… I always go with pzgr 39 because of the higher pen; I figured you just gotta place your shot more carefully, which is easier when you have more places to pen more easily, but since everyone keeps bringing pzgr’s over pressure… I am curious now, hahah.
