Strv 103 slpprj m/80

The Strv 103 has a much longer barreled 105mm cannon at L/62 compared to the standard L/52. this is accounted for in game with the slprrj m/66, which has a higher penetration than the L/52 armed vehicles. this is not the case when it comes to the APFSDS splrrj m/80, which has identical performance in both guns despite the gun on the Strv 103 being more than a meter longer.

This is obviously incorrect, but i haven’t been able to see it addressed anywhere.

you need to list a source for some reason… i made a bug report about this a while ago without a source but it got declined… stupid

It’s probably because of its weight, the round and sabot are much thinner and lighter than a normal APDS shell, so it can reach its maximum velocity before exiting the barrel. This is because of the exponential decay rate in its ability to be thrown at a speed compared to its weight and force behind the projectile.
