Default Re: Sabot range for modern autocannons

Quote:
One of the questions in the very first post condensed into one sentence:
Is the maximum range for a gun to shoot sabot rounds the actual "range" value even if "sabot range" is greater?
Not sure what you are getting at here
1) If like a tank main gun the range is often 100+ for sabot the shot will never be taken because the hit probability is to low.

2) If what you want to know is if sabot will fire past its range which I seriously doubt then just adjust the sabot range to say 15 & see what happens when you fire at a target at range 16 hexes.

3) Just guessing but sometimes the sabot range might be massaged slightly so the formula gives penetration results that more closely match RL results.
Adjust the range of weapons & look in AP Calc if you want to reverse engineer the formula used.
Penetration of a 100 would probably make the results fairly simple to read.
