sabot rounds on 7TP

[DRG]

I've said it before, we've put it MOBHack on the weapons data page---------" NB-- Sabot is simply a second AP type with different max range and/or AP value"------ and I have no doubt I'm still going to be saying this 5 years from now......... "sabot" ammo can be anything from real sabot to a different kind of regular AP ammo. It could represent a newer type of sabot round and the ammo in the AP column could represent an older type of sabot round if sabot was all that was issue as "AP". ( that would be applicable only in MBT )

The last DOS version of the Polish OOB the 7TP did NOT have "sabot" ammo. A year and a half later the first Windows version did. I'm fairly certain who it was who provided that info but he hasn't posted on the forums for quite some time and the prevailing wisdom now is this is wrong. OK , fair enough but all that's been offered is variations on " I've never heard of this".

It *could* have been that he had info on some experimental shells and added it in..... IDK..... if could be that it was simply a mistake but the entire ammo count changed so that's less likely. ....it could be he just made it up for fun but I find that even less likely so there was some basis for him adding a "more advanced" AP round for that gun and not only add it but add more of it after November 1938-----but IDK. I could and probably will take it out which means every scenario and campaign using a 7TP built since 2006 will show errors and have to be rebuilt.. but hey...... I do that every release anyway but the fact remains SOMETHING caused him to add this "more advanced AP round" and it's really too bad we can't hear what he has to say on the matter before I pull it out.
