What’s special about L15A5?

Using depleted uranium caps and depleted uranium cores instead of tungsten alloys，The attenuation of penetration depth will be lower, and historically, a 150mm/60 ° target plate can be penetrated at a distance of 2km

I wonder if we will ever get pyrophoric effects from DU. That would be cool.

Unfortunately, gaijin did not provide special penetration aftereffect damage to DU ammunition
Although L15A3 performs well in the game, it is still not as good as ammunition like DM23 on 8.7. I think the chieftain needs to issue new ammunition to face 8.7. In history, L15A5 should have been the final ammunition chosen by the chieftain, while L15A3 is only used as a transition, and the chieftain does not have laser rangefinder or thermal imaging fire control, which is weak in most vehicles with laser rangefinder and APFDS.

The Mark 3 and Mark 5 would be so much better with these two rounds.
I’m thinking how cool it would be if Chieftain mk10 had a shovel in the game, and when can Gaijin restore more vehicles that can carry shovels）
I’m all for buffing my Chieftains but L15A3 already demolishes every 8.7 that has the misfortune of being the wrong end of the L11.
I had a T-69 Shatter my APDS on its front plate straight on twice at point blank.
Same reason we have a fake L23 round when only L23A1 existed. Britain suffers.

we’ll never have real du in the game
I think overwhelming firepower can be balanced by the Chieftains lacking in other aspects (slow as mud, slower reload, lower velocity).
Doesn’t have to be perfect. It’s still a heavier round which means more penetration using the formula. It’s also a denser projectile, so should shatter less, do more post-pen, and be better against angles.
