I’ll look for some docs that state DM12A1 has a fuze, knowing Gaijin they’ll want info on the german shell not the US one.

ill get some info from that its not hard taking in count its produced by rheinmetall
K something so far, a total of 3 different names given to DM12A1,(MP-PELE, M830 and DM12 A1)this confirms that we can use US sources too

perfect
this should work too as a reinforcement to the bug report
so once again, who offers to sacrifice to make the bug report? I pass, especially with my headache

Currently the US M380A1 HEAT-MP can shoot down aircrafts and helis with ease in the test drive. I will find it easy using them against Helis at top tier. Everyone complains about how annoying helis are, well with a good laser rangfinder and HEAT-MP combo, taking them down with this round will make it a lot easy for me against them. Not sure why the US mains don’t use them a lot at top tier, cuz I would if I had it.

specially with how squishy is the type 10/90 this should help a lot
Sadly there’s no AA fuze from what I can find and the way the shell looks.
M830A1:
JM12A1:
The JM12A1 lacks the proximity switch found on M830A1.
It is similar to M830 but that doesn’t have an AA fuze if I recall correctly.
no it is just that the advantages of M830A1 are its higher muzzle velocity more penetration and selectable fuze

“sensor,” there is a liner there that is the trigger connected with the trigger on the tip, basically 2 in 1
Edited, M830A1 has a radar, JM12 doesn’t look like it has one so idk
P. 13-14
that’s weird as heck then its highly probable its not VT but TF or manually programmed
wait a moment it utilizes type 11 fuse, has a micro anthena and a chip that connects to the GPS of the fired tank to avoid triggering on terrain It was used on the L15A2 shell for the type 99 too wich means that indeed its HE-VT, Type 11 fuse uses radio signals that return to the shell as a way of proxy instead of a radar

ngl, this is confusing lol
radar fuse has the peculiarity of being more precise of what it fuses with, which gives it an advantage against infantry but makes it more expensive than radio fuse. (Btw, a radar fuse is similar to one of those radars found in some cars.) Meanwhile, meanwhile radio fuse are cheaper and easier to produce, aswell as occupying less space in the shell than the radar, Japan fixed the issue with the inprecision and lack of programming by giving it 2 antennas to a chip connected to it and they can basically program different stuff to the shell. i still need to know what it can do apart from proxy

So in the end:
DM12 is HEAT-FS
DM12A1/JM12A1/M830 are HEAT-MP with fragmentation sleeve added
M830A1 is HEAT-MP or MPAT with an extra feature that allows it to down aircrafts which the other HEAT-MP rounds don’t have?
