Seriously this was such a fun SPAA but now the main benefit of the gun (planes not seeing it) is gone.
It’s gun has been nerfed twice now with it still being the same BR, first it was ⅓ if the penetration now it’s the ability not to be seen by everyone the second you shoot.
Brief description: The LAV-AD should have the M791 or M919(preferable) or both for better penetration as the Gau-12 equalizer 25mm is compatible with the 25mm bushmaster ammunition found on the Bradly.
LAV-AD Ammunition
GAU-12 Equalizer 25 mm (0.984 in) 5-barreled Gatling cannon,
A wide range of ammunition has been developed for this weapon, providing it with the capability to defeat the majority of armored vehicles it is likely to encounter, up to and including some light tank. The ammunition used in the M242 may also be used in a variety of weapons such as the GAU-12 Equalizer, the French Giat M811, or the Swiss Oerlikon KBA weapon system. It has the capability to fire U.S. manufactured ammunition as well as the NATO equivalents thereof. Primarily though, it fires six types of rounds: the M791, M792, M793, M910, MK210, and M919.

In reference 25mm-Bushmaster.pdf M242 Bushmaster - Wikipedia you can see that The 25mm bushmaster used on the Bradly can use the same ammo as the GAU-12 equalizer, this means that any ammunition type the Bradly uses the LAV-AD can have to. This includes the M919 APFSDS-T rounds and M791 rounds Aswell. Please add at least the APFSDS because taking the penetration on its rounds in war thunder from 80-90mm of penetration ruined it as its now at 66mm. yet the Gepard and ZSU-23-4 have (similar M791 rounds) which have around 110 mm of penetration and the ZSU has around 88mm of penetration Aswell.
In conclusion the LAV-AD should have the same rounds and same penetration values as the Bradly and should have the M919 rounds and M791 rounds Aswell.
