But no 17prd gun will ever go through a KT frontaly. Neither a 76mm or anything.

The only gun i can realy put my money on is the Super pershing(90mm) and the IS3(122mm)(and by size of round only).

But truth is that theres no evidence in RL of any KT ever pentrated frontaly but for gameplay well yeah make it weak to something xD

You forget that its not all about gun size,many things effect the effectiveness of a gun,from barrel size,to muzzle velocity,to shell design,you guys are just assuming that all say 75mm guns,or 120mm guns are the same,there not guys,the 75mm high volocity gun of the Panther could kill bigger tanks from further away than the bigger sized 88mm gun of the Tiger.

As another example,the Jagdtiger had a 128mm gun,the American modern day Abrams tank has a 120mm gun,not as big as the Jagdtiger's,but considerably more destructive,with a longer range,see my point guys.

I posted that two guns with out saying why. the 90mm in the super pershing has the muzzle velocity/shell size/etc to penetrate. In the case of IS3 the sheer weight and size of the round destroys hulls. The power in the blast(nasty gun).

Off course not always size of ammo is an indicator of penetration value.
