What is the point of L52A1?

Hey everyone, was just wanting to know what the point of L52A1 is, it seems to be worse in every way than L28A1, except in high angles. Is the only reason the Vickers Mk 3 is at 8.3 because of M456? I’m so confused

It’s better
the game just doesn’t display the internal modifiers, at least not clearly, the tell is the penetration at 60 degrees but if you want to see what it does just compare the 2 rounds against the frontal plate of the T-55AM

it’s also far less prone to shattering (doesn’t shatter at all in my experience) and has better ricochet angles iirc, the only bad thing I can say about L52/M728 is the post pen can be inconsistent sometimes

Ah thank you, very interesting. What’s with the reload time difference on the Mk 1 and Mk 3 Vickers? Is it internal turret space orrr

also do you know if HEAT is better than L52?
