Late 90s and stopped production in 2001 and then we made L28A1 which was its tungsten replacement
ok then take all the known alloys. How do each of them fare vs a D.U Penetrator.
Depends DU performs better but thanks to its own properties it becomes uneffective at pretty high velocities it becomes more brittle the faster it goes, but generally speaking yeah DU has more pen
ok for example i already know that M829A2 can defeat K-5 up to 1000meters, but gaijin says it can’t. I know with 100% assurance gaijin is wrong.
All of this stuff is made out of alloys that can only protect it from a certain distance.
Thats… RELIKT not Kontakt-5 dude.
That’s a T80BVM it uses relikt T80U uses kontakt 5
yeah i meant a tank with K5
M338,DM53,Type-10,M829A2 and L27 should be able to defeat all types of tanks that has kontakt-5 but since this change will hurt Russian and Chinese players most gaijin will not do that.

Rather funny only Shell that can pen relikt rn reallisticaly it’s M829A4, altough DM53 can technically pen the T80 BVM out of brute penetration irl
Thats why new ammunition is on its way.
Basically brute forcing, the thing is its not consistent.
It dosent have anti ERA yet That is just because of the raw pen it has lol

You forgot to mention Russian T-Series has overperforming hull armor.
M829A2 can basically demolish that hull with brute force in real life but knowing you this conversation will become pretty much pointless very soon…

M829A3 can penetrate relict
A3 adds anti-ERA elements from my memory of the M829 series of development.
Cannot do that consistently thats why Usa developed M829A4.

says who?
Usa itself? Have you ever considered why A4 was developed in the first place?
If A3 could consistently penetrate Relikt from engagement distances they wouldnt even bother to enhance 829 family.
Both DM-53 and M829A3 can brute force themselves to Relikt at certain ranges but since this wasnt enough both countries decided to develop better rounds that can effectively engage with Relikt at all distances.

M829A2 reduces kontakt 5 effectivity by 38% or so in tests and according to BTTR, M829A3 reduces effectivity by 32% on relikt and 78% on kontakt 5 and M829A4 reduces effectivity on relikt by 67% this is according to BTTR
