except u want Gepard to turn into a Transformer and become XM246 with 35mm cannons near each other, idk what kind of “accuracy” u’re talking about.
Gepard is already very accurate when hitting both near and very far away targets.
idk maybe balance or something im kinda stupid
I mean, the Su-33 that was sold to Thai wasnt fit with target container for Kh38s either. But we have it ingame. And as this subcaliber is practicaly same size with AP and HE, and as Gepard CAN shoot it, the “noo not realistic” justification doesnt work here.
The subcalibre (APDS) round differs severly in terms of muzzle-velocity and ballistics, firing it mixed with the full calibre rounds is not a thing.
The APDS rounds (with the sabot) are also smaller and lighter than the others.
If it had external belts, then sure - but I dont think ZA-35 had them.
Again, read to what i said and think about it again.
Whataboutism on a different vehicle class…
Mixed belts of APDS + HEI/APHEI-T wont be/arent a thing, sole belts of APDS for ZA-35 will also most likely not be added.
The sole option for the addition of APDS to ZA-35 that I see are when there are external belts.
Them not being present would also explain why they offered the APCI-T (HVAP) which they probably could mix with the other full calibre shells.
How does the “its a different class” makes it less oblivious in the first place?
Its unrealistic with justification “technically possible”, so entire APDS belts for all KDA-KDF users, mixed APDS-AP belts are on the same level - its “technically possible” to load them that way.
I mean lets go further and treat TDs different than tanks and SPAAs because they are “different vehicle class” imo :/
