Suggestions Ground

I’ve never made a TT suggestion, its possible that these take longer. You should also take into account that we just moved to this new “Forum” and many users are taking their Suggestions from the old Forum over to this one.

Oh, I found this.
Yes please.

17

There’s no words to describe what I would do to have this in game. I need it.

19

France would need it slightly more after leclerc’s are all added. Including the EMBT with the French made 140mm

See my comment in the other thread.
The embt series going strictly to 1 nation is plain wrong

Im simply stating that Germany won’t “need” it quite as badly as France will. when the game gets closer to next gen main battle tanks “Performance wise”
With the KF series likely being a mainstay at that point for germany. “specifically the Kf51 Panther”
of which the Kf51 will be able to do what the EMBT series will be able to do for France and then some going forward.

I’m not negating the fact that KNDS-GR made the hull or overexemplifying that KNDS-FR “Nexter” made the turret and its components" there is equal input. The devs will have the final say.

Like i compared it to, does US and russia need all thise planes?

Questionable, here i refer to the KF41 and gsjins statement it wont be priotised because its non an in service vehicle in germany.
It might end up with only hungary and possibly italy receiving their 120mm versions and germany not getting them.
In the mean time the nature of the embt project makes it a pure prototype for both france and germany and an inservice preference csnt be done

Is the 1st picture from today? Since the text on cannon is not in the 2nd picture.

26

I mean, the 120mm gun with SHARD would penetrate more than DM53.

27

I am not sure about that, since the ascalon has a lot less energy.
The 140mm ascalon has as much penetration as german 120mm dm83

28

Your source being ?

29

DM53 is a fairly old round by this point.

Better comparison is DM73

30

“We have a muzzle energy of 17-20 MJ" Ascalon: Nexter’s solution for the MGCS main gun - EDR Magazine

“Given that a current DM53 APFSDS has an energy output of nearly 13 MJ”

This is a quick comparison, with old ammo
If you realy want i can try looking the exact sources / you can do the rest with dm83 calculations etc

31

well there is a good bit of room for improvement which is good

33

Of course, just talking about the state right now,
That thw 140mm /120mm isnt as good as people think it is

Got a source for the “lack of energy”? Last time I checked a 120mm cannon has a pretty significantly smaller chamber volume than a 140mm so how could the cannons even have the same amount of pressure?

Man is extrapolating based on completely unrelated data.

You are aware the rheinmetsll l/55a1 is build for extremely high pressure right?
Besides that i stated official interviews forbthe sources the muzzle energy of the ascalon weapon just are small

Relevance to your claim about 120mm ASCALON?

Besides that i stated official interviews forbthe sources the muzzle energy

For the 120mm ASCALON? Do show.
