Default Re: Austrian Kuerassier

This must be a misunderstanding -I guess we're talking here about the tandem-HEAT round which does exist. I'll have to look into my old correspondence with Siddhi, a former poster on this forum, whose information was more credible on the subject than anyone else's so far. I myself have overhauled the Austrian OOB extensively but haven't changed many weapons' characteristics due to lack of information and danger of destroying the balance of tghe game. But one thing should be obvious, at least for me as a non-expert ;-) : The Kuerassier's 105mm gun got a much smaller chamber than, for example, the British L7 105mm (I've seen and handled both), and therefore I can't imagine how it could be superior to that 105mm at least when using APFSDS ammo. In case of the tandem-HEAT round, howevery, things might look differently.
