Damn 2028 for SEP v4 deployment? Kinda late for an at-least pre 2021 project which changes the electronics with stuff that already exists.



[USER=11364]@Shusui[/USER] What are you talking about? L44 and M256 are identical in terms of pressure specs, the Americans just bothered to recalculate maximum pressure when they were testing M829E3 or E4 so it was found the gun could handle this, but no technical upgrades were made to improve the gun for higher pressure. Germany didn't use it because they were not interested in certifying ultra high pressure ammo on the basic L44. They either just use L55A1, or L44A1 which was built with higher pressure in mind thanks to new steels.



Same goes for XM360. Considering the Europeans are trying to cram maximum performance out of the 120mm system both in terms of ammo and gun, I highly doubt the Americans really can do with just the former.
