Default Re: Hello and question!

Thanks! I feel better ^__^

So I will remove the HEAT rounds from the leopard and change them with HE... very well.

Oh, another thing, this time about APFSDS ammunition.
The 2005 leopard 2A6 is assumed to use DM 53 (LKE II) sabot rounds or the older DM 43 round? This because the 120/55mm gun APCR penetration is 90 (WG01 gun), while the M1A2 SEP APCR penetration is 95.

If I'm not wrong, the LKE II round can penetrate up to 810mm of RHA at 2000m while the Abrams M829A2 round have an estimated penetration of about 750mm of RHA at 2000m...

Umh, maybe the Abrams round is the future M829E3?
