Default Re: sabot rounds on 7TP

If I still had my notes from 7 years ago I might be able to tell you exactly what it represents but I don't. What I do know is 9 years ago the 7TP did not have "sabot" and 7 years ago it did so it's not a mistake, it was deliberately added.

I will also draw your attention to MOBHack Help for information on "sabot" rounds

Quote:
'Sabot' is just a name - the normal AP round can of course be an APDS or APFSDS round, with the sabot round perhaps representing a more advanced round - e.g. a DU APFSDS. Sabot is also used for Armour Piercing Composite Rigid (APCR) - Known in the USA as HVAP - or 'arrow' shot, of late WW2 vintage. These are basically similar to sabot rounds, but do not discard the sabot at the muzzle, so suffer from increased drag, somewhat like a ping pong ball with a steel core - they lose velocity and hence AP value rather quickly, but at close ranges are better than the plain AP shot.

so ammo in that column can be anything but regular AP
