I was looking at the Saab Bofors website and I realized that a lot of 84mm carl gustav ammunition like the HEAT rounds are fin stabilized. Why are some of them fin stabilized when the gun was made to spin stabilize its ammunition? Seems like they added unnecessary complexity to the ammunition. Anybody know what they are fin stabilizing some of the ammunition?
@abb8279 are you sure it was the CG and not AT4? CG ammo isnt fin stabilized what i know of or at least non of the granades i have fired but AT4 is fin stabilized.
All of that is INSIDE the tank. Covered in extremely strong armor. Look up an Abrams that got hit by an anti-tank hellfire missile. Those are made to destroy tanks, and see the results. A recoil-less gun couldn't even hope to do that.
@OHTEHWIN The optics are, obviously, on the outside of the tank. Otherwise they'd be looking at a blank wall of armor. Besides gun sights, you have the commander and driver's periscopes, roof gun, some radio implements, smoke launchers and on active/passive protection systems and ERA panels. All somewhat vulnerable, but that's not what an airburst round is for, of course.

@wepsone What is the difference between 441D and B? Direct and Burst?
ryeable 10 months ago
@ryeable Both 441B and D are the "same". The D version is improved over the B version. (better fuze and explosive)

@wepsone Is it dial adjusted in 10 or 50m increments?

When was this, I can see it is old because of the helmets.

The airbust round could destroy all the advance optics and instruments on a tank making it blind. Dumb round wins!

@IXXVIIX Wow.
Just fucking wow.
