Douglas Cole made a formula to calculate the damage if you knew the real world stats of a bullet.
The inputs are in inches for bore size, feet per second for velocity and grains for bullet weight.
A 115mm HE round is about 230 thousand grains going about 3 thousand feet per second.
I giggle about the big ass numbers I'm throwing around here.
I didn't save it, but I've used this formula to figure the damage for a 16"/50 Mk7.
A lot. Plus an explosion. 6dx62(2) pi++ and a linked 6dx26 [6dx2].
There's some tank rounds that are approaching the penetration, but none which have that explosion afterwards.
