11 new weapons - acquirable from victory chest in Tornado Valley maps.New region - Tornado Valley! Includes 2 new maps - Tornado Canyon and Tornado Highlands!.If the Italians need a new, better MBT there are better alternatives than crossing into the fantasy realm such as the Ariete MLU/AMV or giving the Ariete the realistic ability to deploy loitering ammunition (which may end up being more broken than the SHARD but still a better solution). We have absolutely no clue as to the dimensions of its penetrator nor even its velocity when shot from an L44 gun, such as the one the Ariete uses.įinally in terms of gameplay, why give a broken round to try to fix a broken vehicle? Ariete was already privileged when it got introduced into the game with the single most powerful round prior to DM53 and M829A1. IF we were to skip over the fantasy issue, we don´t have nearly enough information on SHARD to give it to the Ariete. So as this suggestion crosses into the fantasy realm, we should leave it to a different tank game less concerned with realism. In other words, even if the Ariete shares the caliber it may be incapable of shooting this round. Since it has an Ammunition Data Link, which *may* be necessary for some kind of programming, the Ariete doesn´t have nor is projected to have in the future the necessary modifications to its gun and fire control system to use this data link. There is no historical basis for the Ariete getting this round. The C1 Ariete and the Ariete PSO at this time is the least armored MBT at BR 10.3 and 10.7, so the trade off is to have a lot of firepower in exchange for the armor, seeing that now the Leopard 2A6 has both a more powerful round and better armor, I think that it is time for the Ariete to get a new, more powerful round, so that the Arietes are again the tanks with the most penetration. SHARD® achieves this level of terminal ballistic performance thanks to an optimized sabot, an elongated rod in a new tungsten alloy developed with Plansee Tungsten Alloys, as well as a combustible cartridge case and a high-performance, low-erosion propellant developed by EURENCO." "This very high level of performance is permitted thanks to a totally innovative design, defined by Nexter Munitions' technical teams at Bourges. "this ammunition sets a new performance standard, with increased penetration capacity combined with very high accuracy." So the new Shard has a lot of new design features such as an optimized sabot, an elongated rod in a new tungsten alloy developed with Plansee Tungsten Alloys, as well as a combustible cartridge case and a high-performance, low-erosion propellant developed by EURENCO. This new round should be the best that the western tank industry can offer, but we will talk more in depth about the capabilities of the round in a little bit.Īt the time of speaking the latest test on the round was on hot climates and Nexter said that the round performed exactly as expected by the simulations. In said article in the list of tanks capable of firing this round there is also the C1 Ariete of the Italian Army. Recently Nexter has presented their latest APFSDS round, the Shard, the article that can be found on Nexter website has been released the 9th of March 2021, in it is detailed many of the characteristics of the round with some background on its development. Today I'm here to suggest the new APFSDS ammunition by Nexter, the Shard, for the C1 Ariete. I asked Smin and he said it is A-OK to ask for it, here the note he added to my post when i asked if the Shard would be good to suggest and he said yes: So, the Ariete never shot this round, but seeing that Gaijin now decided to add ammunitions to vehicles just because said vehicle could use it, I decided to ask for the newest APFSDS that could be used by the Ariete.
