APDSFS doesnt need to be mixed. (3UBR11)
APDS does. (3UBR8)
Hence why APDSFS belt isnt mixed yet APDS belt is mixed.
Only Ka 50 has this mistake yet it’s not anything significant to the game either way.
And limitation do matter - on a vehicles with fast RPM and barely damage to components like gun barrels an extra belt will be useful.
It’s been not once as I ran out of my APDS belt on BMP-2/APDSFS on BMP-2M, APDS belt on BMP-3.
Just can penetrate MBTs on the sides, not only top.
As i know - not more than 1 shell per 5 others.
But in game…
And if you add just one AP to the belt to a fast RPM autocannon its only gonna need a milisecond more.
No, it’s one AP shell per 5 APDS
Still, difference in few seconds.
No. 3UBR8 shorter than AP/HE round
How is there gonna be a difference of a second if autocannon has to fiee just one more round while it’s RPM is 800, another round being fired in 0.075 seconds??
You still need at leasr 20 shells
4 of them already will be worser
Its not like 4 of these shell would have mattered much with how bad autocannon damage is.
Yes, however it doesnt change the reason why it cant feed all APDS, APDS being different size, hence needing an AP-T to load properly.
2A42 habe very good damage.
The damage preset for the calibers below 57MM disagrees. Kill crews just fine, although if there’s little penetration left it will barely scratch modules.
Maybe preset disagrees - still very good damage, at least total.
Way better than bushmaster
Its only better than Bushmaster’s for it having not shitty RPM.
2A72 sounds really nice yet having low RPM makes it harder to kill. TTK is simply higher.
Yet another post of someone begging to buff the 2S38.
No, reducing its spawn cost is not needed.
when the 2S38 get only 12 rounds like the otomatic it is a big nerf for that broke vehicle
There is no evidence to suggest that it should have the same restrictions as the otomatic.
If it was an SPAA, that would be a buff.
Prove that the 2S38 uses a 76mm OTOMATIC cannon.
Cause last I checked it uses a 57mm cannon with an entirely different feeding mechanism.
It being classified as SPAA would only buff it, there’d be zero limit on APFSDS.
The 2S38 is not actually loaded with 3/4 APFSDS ammunition (for operational and cost reasons). Since it is an SPAA, it will have at most 1/4 APFSDS ammunition, and even that is too much because it also has standard HE shells. If we wanted, we could also fully load the OTOMATIC with APFSDS shells, but that wouldn’t make sense and wasn’t implemented that way because its task, like that of the 2S38, is airspace defense. Simply the 2S38 needs a nerf
I am sure you are happy to provide the source for those claims.
To prove this, no source is needed; it is simply a fact. For example, a Leopard 2A4 is not fully loaded with HE shells just because I want to use it as artillery. 1. It is an MBT, so its role on the battlefield is clear and its requirements are defined. It is typically loaded with 30 KE shells and 12 multipurpose shells. Its primary role is to actively engage enemy tanks, and fighting infantry is a lesser priority. If we want to actively combat infantry, we would use a howitzer, etc. The same applies to a broken 2S38—it is an SPAA and not an IFV that actively accompanies infantry on the front line. Therefore, it is not fully loaded, nor even half-loaded, with KE shells. Please use your heads. Either we follow logic and realism, in which case it makes no sense to fully load any SPAA with only KE shells on the battlefield, or we disregard logic and realism, and we can load every AA and SPAA full with KE shells in the Game.
In other words you don’t know what you are talking about and your source is “trust me bro”
But thx for the wall of text.
