Stanny Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Hi all,I have just had an absolutely exciting shot in Leopard 2E tutorials.TC designated a BRDM for me and ordered to fire a CL3143 sabot as I ran out of HEATs. I fired the round and at the time of it's flight another BRDM was passing a little behind the targeted BRDM.In the result sabot penetrated and killed the first BRDM and other BRDM was killed behind it immediately.Has anybody seen such incredible performance of Leo sabot rounds not in tutorials but in missions or instant action? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanTog Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 (edited) Have seen it before - both with BRDM, BMP, BTR and BMD ! Edited June 13, 2010 by JanTog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango29 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Hi, Stanny, Good shot! That's how you score 200% in gunnery: two kills for one round expended. It's happened to me twice: once with two PC's and once (for "honest to goodness for real!") against two Hind helicopters. The scenario was "Cavalry to the Rescue," wherein a flurry of Hinds attacks your M1 section as you hurry to help a group of Bradleys. I took a sabot shot at one Hind and, just before impact, another flew directly behind the target. Result? Two Hinds for one sabot! I immediately rushed out and bought a lottery ticket, but it seems that all my luck for that day was expended on "the shot!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanny Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 By the way is there any difference between muzzle velocities and other ballistics of DM53 and CL3143 rounds? The matter is that after I switched from Leo2A5 to Leo 2E I have got a strong feeling that those Israeli sabots are flying faster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Volcano Posted June 13, 2010 Moderators Share Posted June 13, 2010 (edited) Speaking of the Friday night game... epic to say the least. Three hours, neither side wanting to give in. Hopefully we can have a better host for the scenario next time so there is not so much lag. Edited June 13, 2010 by Volcano 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
