DISPLAY FULL CARTRIGDE DIMENSIONS IN STAT CARDS & MODIFICATION TABS
THE IDEA
At the moment all the calibers of the weapons in warthunder are only described very basic, as for example 30x173mm cannons are only named 30mm and 40x365mmR cannons are only named 40mm, and in order to see the actual dimensions you need to look at the cannon trough the xray in the hangar. Changing this to have the actual dimensions written on the stat cards and modification folders and all the other areas where the caliber is written down, could add some additional level of realism to the game, and it would be pleasing for gun nerds and not to mention it being easier to compare weapons and vehicles in-game, it would also make it easier to see how unique certain calibers is. It also helps players quickly spot differences in ballistics/ammo capacity (like 30x173 mm Bushmaster vs. 30x210 mmB). The space on the stat cards or mod folder should not be an issue as the descriptions is not that big of an difference. On weapons like self propelled guns 150mm, 152mm, 153 mm etc. or cannons that doesn’t use shells, that uses a shell/projectile and then charges, could bve named like this; 122mm (Sep. charge).
Some examples;
40/70 Bofors - 40x365mmR
30mm Mk.44 Bushmaster 2 - 30x173mm
7.62mm FN MAG - 7.62x51mm
6.5 mm ksp m/14-29 machine gun - 6.5x55mm
7.7 mm Type 97 machine gun - 7.7x56mmR
7.92 mm ZB-53 machine gun - 7.92×57mm Mauser
7.62 mm DP machine gun - 7.62×54mmR
T-80U - 125 mm (sep. charge)
M1 Abrams (M256) 120 mm - 120×570mm
leopard 1 105mm - 105x617mmR
