fyi France has PARS too, specifically TRIGAT
my bad! I couldn’t remember what France had so checked the wiki, and stopped as soon as I saw “spike”. didn’t realise it was both (oops!)
Imo they never should have been added. Impossible to balance from a fun to use vs fun to fight perspective.
Was getting spawn killed by a PARS spammer on Arctic the other day, literally hovering above the helicopter pad and ducking as soon as he saw SPAA but already let rip his entire arsenal into our spawn.
Yes but they are slow and uneffective compare to apfsds
There’s no new shell it’s still the old APFSDS. Its length was increased at some point in the past which could result in an increase of penetration :
CTA still markets it as 140mm RHA at 1500m though, so if it’s introduced in game it will most likely be similar to the top APFSDS found on Strf 4090C
the training shell is M829, just some dumb models, but the actual usable ones are KEWA1
T-72M2E
The dual 20’s have always looked nice
Looks awfully impractical to aim
T-72MN (object 172-2m equipped with 130mm cannon)
PBV 401
you just thought too much about a information board made by someone who know nothing
from ARMS SALES NOTIFICATION; Congressional Record Vol. 165, No. 113
Yeah I’ve seen this. But it’s from 2019.
I’m more inclined to believe what they showed with the tank instead of an old document since they didn’t show the KEW
But M829A1 isn’t usually exported so either way doesn’t really matter
And the document makes it quite clear it’s a potential sale. so not a defacto list on things they got
approved so no longer potential, and no any changes about it in flowing years.
I’m not trying to argue I’m right or anything like that.
Just saying what I chose to believe.
Which obviously makes no difference.
the first abrams was delivered 5 years after that document was made and everything doesn’t always get disclosed in arms deals.
But I digress, I’m just speculating not trying to argue facts
Slow doesn’t matter at point-blank, and the 9M119M1 missile can penetrate a lot. It’s a really slept on ability to cut through a Leopard’s turret armor.
I have gotten nukes using these missiles, so they’re not as bad as you (and others) claim.
It’s advantageous against the M1A2 Abrams. It completely removes the chance of your shell being sent to the void by autobounce.
Even at terribly unlucky moments, it can still cut through.
So yeah, gimme LAHAT :P
