No. 120mm M256 gun 86 represents M827 APFSDS round, first US 120mm APFSDS.M827 was capable penetrate around 450mm at 2000m
M829 was quite powerfull.It was capable kill any Russian tank in this time, only Kontakt-5 equipped tanks could survive hits (Kontakt-5 tanks were not so numerous...)
M829A1 was fielded somewhere around 1990-91
M829A2 around 1994-95 and newest APFSDS M829A3 around 2004-2005.
Value 13 is not enough for 120mm APFSDS or HEAT-FS.They are much more accurate. I have made some tests with game, and actual accuracy is too low after 70 era.
M1 Abrams with 105mm gun is capable hit target with first round at 2000m with propability around 80%. In game with crew with exp 70 it is only 60%. You need crew with exp 100 or higher to have 80% propability,so we need way to make modern MBTs much more accurate, at least +20%

Is the figure of 80% to hit @ 2000 yards, etc a figure given by US Army? Is it done at a known range course? The reason I'm asking is because the US Army in particular has been wildly optimistic with information such as this. If we had a third party confirmation of this info I'd be much more likely to accept it.
