Each tank gun has penetration values for "far", "mid" and "near". However, I´m unable to find the range on which those penetration values apply - or atleast I can't interpret them properly since range values are set at -1 for many tanks (IS-2).
Other tanks have proper range values, except that "near" is always set to 0 which raises the question if the "near" penetration is practically non-existant.
Question about penetration and distance

IS-2 might have no falloff. i remember when they first implemented decreasing pen they had a couple of different profiles in mind. i know there was a "standard" profile, a "high velocity" profile (the V has that) that had lower drop off, and i think there was an HE profile only used on the IS-2, ISU-152, and maybe the brummbar.

-1 means to use the 'default', which means:
Near = Min
Mid = halfway between Near and Far
Far = Max
So in the case of the IS-2's main gun, the Near is 0, the Mid is 20, and the Far is 40.
So at 0 range the penetration is 250, at 20 range it's 220, and at 40 range it's 190.
Near = Min
Mid = halfway between Near and Far
Far = Max
So in the case of the IS-2's main gun, the Near is 0, the Mid is 20, and the Far is 40.
So at 0 range the penetration is 250, at 20 range it's 220, and at 40 range it's 190.

So, does that mean the penetration at 19 range is 250 or 220?

Penetration is linearly connected with distance same away accuracy is. (as far as I know)

It means at 19 penetration is 218.
Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

actually no...
penetration19= 250-(250-220)*(19/20)= 221,5

Right, right, I got the good value(rounded up), just wrong vector direction.
