9.7 for this thing is horrendous man…
How exactly? There are like 3-4 other similar vehicles at 9.7.
It’s currently maybe slightly worse than stuff like the VBCI-2, but give it spall liners and/or those DU darts and it would make up for the worse mobility.
its a better badger and thats about it, that thing is awful at 9.0 and ought to be 8.7 so why should the same thing but marginally more capable (good ROF instead of rarden slow as hell ROF) so why would i want it to be a whole BR over that?
Id honestly put it at 9.3, not that big of a BR change but it escapes the 10.7 vacuum.
I think that if the Type 25 can be at 9.7 so can the M1296.
If it got spall liners and the DU dart it should be relatively on par with the VBCI-2 and Type 24.
Would you happen to know if this round is the same dimensions as its current APFSDS? Is it just the penetrator material that’s different? How much would this increase performance?
Its specific size, initial velocity, and penetration depth value are not listed on the official website, indicating that it is likely not publicly available
