The MBT/KPz-70 is armed with a 152mm gun and was designed to fire multiple types of ammunition.
in game it cant only fire HEAT, ATGM and APFSDS.
IRL it had HE as well as flechette (anti personell) (which can be ignored in game).
While the post linked above states the ammo, here is the proof for the tank using the ammo
@David_Bowie may i also ask if you know anything about the internal space of the turret armour of the MBT/KPz-70 being used to store fuel (as an NBC protection measure for the crew)?
I read that since fuel helps absorb nuclear radiation it was utilised as protection which would give the tank in game some form of spalling mitigation

Many thanks for this. this truly has some interesting information about our good ol mbt
So according to this, the fuel storage in the spaced armour was dropped and the nuclear boron shielding was removed.
Thats a shame but oh well its accurate.
what is interesting is that at 800 meters, the MBT-70 should be invulnerable to 105mm APDS such as M728 which has 265mm of flat pen at 10 meters.
at 800 meters it has 245mm of flat pen. but as can be seen here from armour inspector in game:
This requirement has not been achieved.
As for the HE-T it should have…
why dont we have it?
Its already in game…
