Using M8 armor-piercing incendiary bomb, the steel plate with a thickness of 20mm can penetrate 100m, 500m 16mm, 1200m and 8mm.
The Mk2 1 1 Mod 0 API armor-piercing incendiary bomb can produce 20 fragments when hitting a 2mm thick steel plate, which can effectively deal with light armored targets (1000m can penetrate at a 45 angle 1 1mm thick steel plate).
M903 slaps the armor-piercing projectile,
At 500 meters, it can penetrate 34 mm thick hardened armored steel plate; At 1200m, the hardened armored steel plate with a thickness of 23mm can be penetrated. Hardened armored steel plate with thickness of 19mm can penetrate within the distance of 1500m; However, Mk2 1 1 can only penetrate the steel plate with the thickness of 1 1mm in the range of 1000m, and the difference in power can be seen.
Therefore, using M82A 1 can't deal with active main battle tanks even at close range.
