Beyond ADL, nothing about M829A4 is proven to be effective against Relikt. The only footage I’ve ever seen of 829A4’s testing was a static fire that hadn’t shown any difference in flight profile to 829A3, as opposed to what many claim about its capabilities.
Nothing has been proven “effective” against Relikt because WW3 hasn´t started and US hasn´t declassified any trials on T-90M. And won´t happen soon. But M920A4 was developed speciffically to deal with “3rd generation ERA”, which is undoubtedly Relikt.
What we know objectively about the round is that the penetrator is similar to A3 (690x25mm) but its fired at a faster velocity (1650 m/s) and for some reason it needs to be programmed.

Turkey has no relevance in this conversation, nor has it made any ammunition advertised to work against 3rd generation ERA.
m829a3 should be added now. Clearly gaijin doesn’t give a f about balance when adding the kh38mt, why shouldn’t US get historically accurate and actually real ammo
‘‘T-14 Armata/Object 477A should be added now. Clearly Gaijin doesn’t care about balance when adding Leopard 2A7V, why shouldn’t Russia get T-14 Armata/Object 477A?’’
Surely you can see the problem with that line of reasoning? It’s an invitation to constant power creep.
Even with the Leo 2A7’s/Strv 122’s being dominant, top-tier is now in a relatively decent spot, especially 11.3 - 11.7 is pretty enjoyable.
So how about we don’t ruin that by power creeping plenty of other nations via unnecessary ammo buffs?
And quite frankly: If you’re unable to get decent results with a 623mm penetration round fired every 5.3 seconds, then that’s a skill issue that M829A3 won’t solve either.

Apparently gaijin doesn’t, lets launch 6 agms at mach 2 that can still hit it’s target through smoke with enough explosive to one shot anything.
No response to the KH38MT. Okay.
