As in the T-72M1, its only just but possible. Both L23 & L23A1 can pen the UFP of an Abrams @ 500m, depending on the spot of course.
It’s not bad, I tend to take it for urban maps, it’s significantly more mobile than the CR1s in those situations so it’s a nice side-grade to the Vickers Mk.7 when combined with the decent hull armour. It’s not bad for sniping either tbf, if you can work around the depression.
your better off working overtime, spending the rest of the time with the family and buying it from the market, let somebody else do the grinding for you lol
are we comparing the 2a4 which is 10.7 to the CR1 Mk3 which is also 10.7? as the L26 round is substantially better than almost any other 10.7 round, Only 3bm42 and the DCT round of china come close to it.
The L23A1 round sits at 10.3 as its comparible to DM23 pen value wise.
wdym? the shir 2 isnt getting the same round to the MK2 CR1 its getting the same round to the 9.0 chieftain mk10 and 9.3 Khalid.
the 2a4 fires a round similar to the L23A1.
Not the make believe L23.
Its a substantially worse round due to the angle pen loss.
so the leopard 2a4 has comparable armour? id say CR1 is better.
far better mobility.
slower reload by a little bit 1 second aced.
better survivablity due to the ammo placement and crew placement.
The 2a4 Is comparable to the mk3 CR1 hence they sit at the same BR.
The mk2 CR1 is marginally worse.
The mobility and effective survivability of the Leo2a4 put it at 10.7 the DM23 isnt what puts it there.
I may be getting mixed up here cause ive got a few chats going on at once so if ive miss interprated please let me know. I dont midn the shir 2 being 9,7 for example getting l23a1 but if it goes to 10.0 it needs the L23A1
IR sams are some of the deadliest there is no way to avoid them if you make the mistake and enter there envelope, dodging Pantsir to only get slapped by a Strella is not a good time.
