obat06: France
This thread is for information concerning the french OB.
The 'canon 90mmF1' comes with sabot rounds on one version of the AMX-13/90 but has an APCR penetration value of 0.
Both the '20mmMle 693' and the '25mmMle 811' have the same penetration and range values for both the AP and sabot rounds for these weapons (5 for the 639 and 8 for the 811). Certain vehicles armed with either of these guns come with both types of ammo (e.g. AMX-10P, VBCI). Although it may not actually be an error it seems strange to equip a unit with (more expensive) sabot rounds if they offer no benefit over regular AP rounds so I suspect there might be an error here. Right now I have no info on specific penetration abilities on the two types of ammo; perhaps someone out there does?
