The new propellant enable the shell to have similar performance independent from the outside temperature and therefore precluding the need to enter the propellant temperature into the FCS. The DM63 was only a minor upgrade for it, getting a new temperature independent propellant, but using the same penetrator as the DM53. The next round introduced by the Bundeswehr was the DM53, mainly for use with the new L55 gun, but also able to being used in the L44. The DM43 was never introduced in the Bundeswehr and was an exclusive export round. Going back to the 120mm KE rounds, the most common used after some time and especially on the Leopard 2A4 was the DM33. However, since this code is used for all German ammunition, you should, to avoid confusion, always add the caliber, as there are also DM13, DM23 and so on for the 105mm L7A3 gun. The first version of the KE APFSDS would be DM13, with DM23 being the second version and so on, up to the current DM63.

Therefore the DM12 is the first introduced version of the German variant of HEAT ammunition. The first number is the version and the second the type of ammunition (i.e. The code is usually construced like this: I mean come on, this is just ridiculous.ĭid they really call the APFSDS DM12? Because that would definitely wrong. The m1 would be a decent tank if they would get the 405mm sabot dart as stock or at least cheaper then 1600 lions.

And not enough, they get the strongest penetrating round of all the new tanks as a free stock round. Leo 2k has the mobility and the gun therfore no armor.īut the t64b? It has everything and no drawbacks at all. Well every tank has it's pros and cons now except the t64b.Ībrams has mobility and armor but a weaker gun/ ammoĬhallenger has the armor and the gun but is slow compared to the others In-case it wasn't clear, im trying to say that imo it would be better for everyone to just use the T-64B if they have the option.Įdit: And why does the leo 2k get DM12 apfdsds which i have never even heard of instead of its DM23 or DM33 APFSDS which would make a whole lot more sense. Originally posted by minerunknown:So, assuming the dev-server is consistent with the live-patch like it almost always is, the T-64B similar to the t-64A is just another vehicle for people to say is evidence of russian bias, and they sadly wouldn't be wrong.
