yay the translator wasn’t schizofrenic wait nvm this is still vague
Can someone explain how new APFSDS round coming with new Abrams is going to do anything different than existing round looking at its penetration value?
Wait what?
Well, you see, the Spikes killed sometimes so now they have been fixed to be non-lethal. =)
