Austrian Kuerassier
I'm curious about the Austrian Kuerassier (Unit 009 - obat 46). Since 2004, it's 105mmG3 gun has a piercing value of 100 in APCR. Only the M1A2 SEP has such a high value with it's 120mm gun. I couldn't find any evidence that this gun is using a very efficient or new technology. Is it a design error, or am I missing something?

Re: Austrian Kuerassier
Sorry, I didn't see that topic. This is quite impressive, probably the best gun ever made.
Sorry for this useless topic.

Re: Austrian Kuerassier
I tried searching "Kuerassier" to find those old threads but I can't see what explains the capability of that gun.

In 2004 a "Tandem-SABOT" was developed that reportedly allows up to 1,000mm penetration, but also not introduced as of yet

Not sure what is meant here by "Tandem-SABOT". Perhaps some sort of HEAT/APFSDS combination in a sigle round?
It is hard to belive they could squeeze such performance from a 105mm gun using a normal APFSDS.

Re: Austrian Kuerassier
Or telescopic APFSDS? Saw something similar in an article few months ago.
