just wondering how effective were the m47 dragon heat round also the m40 106mm heat round had heard rounds from this time frame had to hit armor straight on within 10-15 degrees to work, was this the same for the above mentioned?

This applies to all HEAT rounds.

Agreed … generally if the "probe" at the end of HEAT warheads does not hit the target "directly" it may not detonate.
