How about US plans to introduce a full-effect HE rounds for 120mm `Rheinmetall` instead of dual purpose HEATs? Does such idea exist? |
Agreed - tanks can be used when dealing with enemy strong points just as long that you can provide flank and rear security for it, using them for patroling or convoy escort duty does nothing but turn it into a moving target. Other vehicles are better adapted for this type of scenario and are being fielded by Russia and the U.S as you know.
We have all kinds of different projectiles in the works for the M256/L44, the problem with my Defense Department is that it takes them way too long to field something, here is some of the ones we may see.
M-830 MPAT Airburst projectile
M-1028 Cannister projectile
M-1069 Full bore Multi purpose.
