You do realise FAPDS will be worse than even the SAP rounds right?

6

It wouldn’t. It would preform as a slightly less penning apds. And by slightly I mean by like 2 if that

7

Thermals, some radar tracking possibility.

8

It’s in the name. Frangible. It’ll shatter on everything at every angle because that’s what it’s designed to do. It’ll completely shred aircraft but do nothing against anything with armour.

9

Wrong flag

10

I am currently working on the thermals, as despite finding primary source, tech mod decided to reject it.

Unfortunately we don’t have variable radar heights. Should automatically change with the current range setting.

It did not rely on range settings, it was operaten in lower position while moving through tree rich areas, in oreder to minimize possible damage.

17

Did it not affect the max range at all?

Basically identical rounds in everyway. Only way it would end up worse is you don’t get funni Aphe moments but you have 640 rounds of apds

The Dutch had trials and eventually had the FAPDS-T in-service on the PRTL GWI “Cheetah”
