After 1925, the improvement of AP technology no longer increased the depth of armor penetration.

I'm not saying that you are incorrect - but you don't appear to have factored in Armour tech improvements, at least some of which offset the AP techs.
Note that there may also be incremental improvements in armour quality that don't come from techs which would also make AP techs appear to do nothing.

I also tested the improvement of armor quality.

This is accounting for that. He tested both armor and AP techs.

Has Krupp Armour tech changed then?
That used to give a massive decrease in penetration that took 2-3 AP techs to recover from, which isn't shown above.

Possible useful charts. Shown the confrontation between armor and AP shells.

Thanks for this chart. Would be great to know if AP tech is bugged or if this is somehow WAD.

Looking at this - I think we do need to make some changes/additions.
Thanks!

We now have a list of changes that will improve AP shell progression; keep an eye out for these in a near-future update.

Exciting!
