Can you perhaps take a look at DM23 for example, on the Gepard, and on the Leopard 1… Oh, and the Leopard 2. Or PzGr 39 for that matter, it’s everwhere.
I think you are getting confused with the way Germans name their ammunition. A small oversight.

Gepard doesnt actually fire DM23 (APFSDS)…Both DM23, 53, 63, APFSDS etc are fired from tanks. DM53 and DM63 being used for 120mm.
Gepard fires a sub-caliber F-APDS, they may have the same penetrator designation but they arent the same round.
Ok? The only variant of DM63 we have in the game is the 105 mil one.
Need I explain further why this is a stupid post?
Because when you exercise some common sense the OP is clearly asking for the new 120mm round. He isn’t the first nor will he be the last. The OFL F2 has been requested for years.
We’re mostly commenting on the first part of his post. The “DM63 Incorrect penetration” part of the title.
I mean, this is just a misunderstanding clearly. He is comparing 105mm DM63 (only DM63 we have in game) with 120mm DM63 (which we don’t have in game) and then saying according to WT DM63 is worse than its predecessor DM53, whilst comparing completely different calibers and rounds. The confusion of same names for different projectiles (calibers) is what I wanted to show him with the DM23 example, as they share the same name but are all different. Same goes for DM63, where the 105mm DM63 is based on the M426 for instance, whilst 120mm DM63 is its own thing afaik. So no comparison can be made between the 105mm DM63 and the 120mm DM53, which OP did.
Don’t really have a problem with the second part of the post. I think too that at least the British and French can get a better APFSDS round.

Dm53 and 63 exist in 120mm rounds. No name calling. Pepega
It should perform like DM53 (not DM53 in the game i can’t call that thing DM53 it lack anti era tip along with L27A1) but you DM63 very hard to detonation (some say immune)
I don’t think any apfsds in game has anti era tip mechanic modeled iirc. I don’t think it would be possible in the current engine requiring a new engine built with current stuff in mind and future things to come in mind.
well yeah time for new engine but it gonna take a lot of time and cost ofc
Yeah so I’m not expecting anti era too mechanic anytime soon but the least they could do is give up to date rounds with their proper penetration stats.
Eh, I mean tandem shaped charges already exist, and ERA effectiveness has variable effectiveness against those, it’s not just a straight up ignore ERA modifier or anything is what I mean. So I feel with some modification, APFSDS rounds can have such a mechanic as well, maybe by modelling the tip as seperate part of the projectile…?
I heard in the past that the anti ERA abilities of DM53 was sorta modelled at some point, maybe it was just on the New Power dev server but I don’t know. But then they removed it. Not sure if it really was the case, just a bug or just some story that was spread around.
Besides 105mm DM63 there is also 20mm DM63 which also has wrong penetration
105mm M426 used by the Vietnamese army in their T55s (upgraded by Israel) in an armor test. The plate appears to be about 30cm (300mm) and has an inclination of 65°.
Considering that gaijin no longer uses irl sources for round pen, none of this really matters. They stopped using irl stuff because round pen was changing often due to different tests saying different things.
*unless it’s Russian
All tank rounds use the same forumla but okay
because in game is 105mm version of DM63
serious skill issues
