Additionally the SR(L) 4026 document I sent them is from 1992, the same year that the T80Us were acquired, it just makes no sense at all.

no no according to them we could only guess at the design of the T80Us protection

I literally found the parliamentary debate where the Minister of State for Defence Procurement Jonathan Aitken confirmed their purchase and arrival for testing purposes, and have sent that to kobes for the report.

edit: maybe they are making excuses and stalling for time so they can say it wont be added this update. :')

I think they just want to downgrade the CR2s enough to justify the introduction of the Abrams.

If the CR2s suddenly could keep pace, at least to a degree, then the justification to add them drops off quite a bit.

“Oh the CR2s are bad, here take some Abrams, wait a second, the CR2s arent as bad as we keep modeling them too be?”

It’s the special tip made of styrofoam that makes sure L27A1 can’t achieve its minimum penetration requirements - gaijin, probably

L27A1 was the first where someone went ahead and just bought T-80Us to make sure it actually could.

I can’t really think of any reason for the tip to be present apart from combatting ERA?

Maybe to improve it’s angled performance?

In theory it could offer improved angle performance on the same logic as experimental Soviet breakaway tips for APC rounds in WW2, but APFSDS isnt exactly lacking in the angle performance department…
