That is the greatest thing I have ever seen on the internet

Fin stabilised.

Vietnam? From what I recall the dual-mode capability was an urgent operational requirement to add man-in-the-loop capability to lower the risk of collateral damage in Afghanistan.

One thing that I find very weird is that in game it has the same weight as L26, despite it being a presumably longer penetrator. Do you think Gaijin have got the dimensions wrong?

yes

length is right, its probably the weight that is wrong.

Both weights a dimensions are likely wrong in game. It seems like L26 is a 505x25.64, at 4.85kg at 1500/1600m/s.
L27 is probably closer to 625-640mm rather than the 600 it is in game. But is likely not 1650m/s.

Says who lol?

Just don’t really get how a bigger projectile can somehow weigh less, it’s an obvious performance loss in game.

Based on pictures of the training round no? but the weight of the penetrator should from what I’ve seen weight more. There is a 1.5kg difference in weigh (including the petals) between the L26 and L27.

That was proto L27 and so we can’t use it as a definitive value.

Yeah the training round is 660mm. How big the penetrator is is still technically up for debate.

Comet with some appliqué armour anyone?

This is how bad the SRAAM is.

This would be good, anything to stop it being so easy to cut through.

I have surprising success with angling it though (even more so on the Cromwells).

Here is the old forum suggestion
