It’s kinda funny that you only know the name of the Russian shell.
You’re just showing you don’t know what you’re talking about when you say you would take the DM13 over the 2BM25.
Would you also take the 3BM-8 over the 3BM25?

It’s kinda funny, that you don’t know, that there are tons of different L7 APDS/APFSDS, while there is one 100mm APDS and one APFSDS.
Why would i? The 3BM25 is trash, but still better than the carbide APDS 3BM-8.
there is also the Finnish one
I suppose when you’re used to always having the best of everything it probably seems trash when you don’t have it so easy. UK doesn’t even get a dart for mbts at 8.3, or 8.7.

Which is much better.
Carbide APDS is objectively trash. The 3BM25 was meant as a cheaper alternative to the 3BM-8, with basically the same performance.
It does not need it, because their alloy APDS is pretty good.
DM13 (105) and their equivalents (M39A2 and L28) are made of tungsten carbide alloy, the only third generation APDS for the L7 is M728.
Compared to the carbide soviet ones.
You can just see the difference in performance. Both in damage, angle pen, and that the soviet one shatters like crazy, while 105mm ones (those with the crabide core too) shatter very rarely.
They are modelled as alloy one.
I have not yet checked if it does, but considering what it was made for it might be underperforming.
