The cannon itself is an modified M242. No where is it stated that cause it shoots faster that it can’t take certain munition.
APFSDS was cleared for the M242 cannon.
Gaijin be like, instructions not clear, removed from game
What was that in reference too?
Isn’t that in reference to it locking?
I was just making a joke in response to MrBombastic’s latest quote
man i wish ADATS was good

Yet, gaijin accepted a 3rd party write-up as a valid source on the R-DARTER to apply the R-DARTER nerf. In this forum we have already proven that some things only applies when suited.
To an extent - same goes with the franken-hind that is the super hind. Is it a Mk3? is it a Mk4? Nobody knows. I mean, I can really go on a tangent on this one - Like the Rooikat engine performance or the tandem charge on the Mokopa missile system ++++
So far I have only discussed vehicles that I have seen perform IRL, been in and around. Never mind other nations that there is plenty documentation of.
Hey man, you know Gaijin does nothing to buff British stuff. I mean, they nerfed the Fox for no reason beyond some guy in the forums making stuff up.
M735 has confirmed that there is a very different standard of evidence used to nerf NATO stuff than what is needed to buff it
There are a few, one is Identification, the ability to see if a vehicle is friend enemy or neutral, through thermal it can be hard. Contrast if the background is hot. Backup if the thermal is down for maintenance or damaged. Prolonged observation, running a cooled thermal sight requires more power.

Gaijin did not accept a 3rd party write up as a singular source for any historical report. There is no fixed bug report on the website about R-Darter that resulted in a “nerf” from my quick skim.
You can be critical of the bug reports IF you both cite them and get the bug reporter to tell you the sources they used, as bug reports hide sources.
Go check again. And I will cite them when gaijin has a better browse function on mobile. Not everyone is at their PC the whole time. Some of us work.
But seeing that you can not find - let’s edit and here you go Update 2.37.0.74
Thanks for proving my post 100% correct.
The report doesn’t disclose the sources used, and Fireball uses quality sources.
Does show source anymore.
When it was active the source was from a 3rd party author that wrote PDF on a general breakdown of South African equipment. For the R-DARTER I can not share any of the pages here though as it is restricted.
If you wanted to know - this was the source as I still have it bookmarked :
Bottom of the same page :
Link to the source that was provided with the change : https://www.defenceweb.co.za/wp-content/uploads/Repository/A-Guide-to-the-SANDF/A-guide-to-the-SANDF-chapter-10-saaf-app-c-equipment.pdf
The M3 ADATS M242 wasn’t actually modified. As an externally powered gun the only change required to increase fire rate is to increase the power of the motor it is connected to.
Self-powered guns will require modification to increase or decrease fire rate, but externally powered weapons (Gatling style guns and chain guns, etc) can have their fire rate increased with additional torque and RPM from the motor.

so there would be a chance that it can fire apfsds
the reason that i dont think the US give it apfsds is because of accuracy, the m242 isnt exactly accurate but then who knows
Or a elephant in the room. You know, how it was not a service vehicle
