Question about 120mm M256 Tank Guns
Going thru the OOB's I noted that the 120mm M256 03 (OOB #12 Weapon #105 and OOB #13 Weapon #102) and 120mm M256 07 (OOB #12 Weapon #125 and OOB #13 Weapon #104) both have a Sabot Range (125) longer then their Weapon Range (120).
Is this intentional? What effect (other then making the weapon cost more) does this have? |

IIRC it is basically the opposite of what it is done for APCR rounds.
In the game, like in reality, kinetic round lose penetration as range increase (loss of speed due to aerodynamic drag). While APCRs armed guns get a sabot range which is inferior to weapon range to simulate a steep reduction of performance as range increase, some modern APFSDS get a sabot range greater than weapon range to simulate the fact that drag has only a limited effect on them. |

Thought that might be the case but never hurts to check.
Thanks ! |
