DM73 for Leopard's A7 and A8,Challenger 3

USA get M829A3 .So Germany should be get DM73 .
As far as I know DM73 is small buff to DM53 , It about 10m 663
Challenger 3 not record use DM73 so it should be not get it

I mean, Realisticly only the Tanks with the L/55 A1 can use it as Stated by Rheinmetall

So, in game CR3 aka CR2 LEP could get it along Leopard 2A7V/2A7HU/2A8/2A8NO

Did the demonstrator even have the L55A1 already? It’s from 2019 and Rheinmetall states that by then, only 2 of these guns had been delivered to the Bundeswehr, so perhaps it only had the L55?

@DevilO6 probably knows it?

I mean, atleast in gamr it has the A1 one

Which must not necessarily be correct though.

e.g. this here says “L55 cannon” and “can fire latest ammo such as DM 63 A1”

No mention of “high pressure” variant etc.

I know it was an L55, but idk if it was the base one or A1.
Any easy way to tell them apart?

From the outside? No chance.

Yes this mentions CR2 LEP but not the demonstrator, which predates it by a couple of years.
Also the article that says the first two guns were delivered in 2019.

Edit: I found the infocard and it does say “High pressure L55”


…which Rheinmetall has called the regular L55 in the past too (and also the L44 and like every gun, especially the low-recoil series but whatever ig)

Ofc this doesnt mean the demonstrator actually had it (And i’d say it’s rather unlikely that it did) but as RBSL hasnt explicitly said the demonstrator did/didnt have it, i suppose it’s fine that it gets it ingame.
