Remember how that negativity turned out last time?
The dev blog clearly states high quality thermal sights will be included, there’s no reason for this victim complex after Germany has been clubbing top-tier for the past months.
DU shells tend to loose their performance and becomes fragile after certain muzzle velocity.
There is a reason why Germany decided to stick with Tungsten Rounds, it allows you to achieve much higher muzzle velocity and can keep its durability at those high speeds.
Its cheaper, easier to make and easier to store and dispose of.
Nothing beats the impact of a DU round the Tungsten penetrator will not superheat the crew compartment of the tank you just penetrated.
DU self sharpening is a good features but some countries have started to make tungsten alloys with self sharpening and without the disadvantage of being brittle.
It is pretty interesting and one of My Main suspicions on why France is going for the 140 mm Ascalon, “low pressure” altough it can reach up to 20 mj it’s firing power is límited to 16 for relatively low velocities wich makes me suspect France wants to use their DU apfsds on that gun, since You know they are the euorpean country wich uses the most uranium
Im waiting for the inevitable fallout where France demands everything be of french design and made in France, and when its refused they storm out to make their own EMBT
