Do the US use it too for their tankers ?

No.

SA ?

Situational awareness.

Yes. The canadiens introduce the Leo2A6m already with the new killer gun.

They are leased from Germany, for use in Afghanistan.

Didn't have this impression in SB1. Can hardly crack the T-72 and T-80 over larger distances from the front side. Even with an M1A1, had a hard time to kill T-80 from the front side over somedistance from the front side.

Depending on distance and impact point, it can take several shots, yes. T80 are tough nuts. Overkill capacity you can only guarantee at short distances. That's why althiough the 120mm can precisely shot at 4000+ meters, preferred combat range is much closer - what is medium range for the 120mm, is long range for the russian cannons, so in this distance segment, the Wetsern equipement has probably a slightly superior chance to kill it's oppoinent, than the russian gear has. Beyond that range, the Russian heavy armour makes it difficult to kill it quickly, below that range, Russian cannons becomes as lethal as the Western system.

Do not expect that every shot at a T80 means "tank destroyed". there would be no constant developement in cannons and rounds if it would be so easy.

How late is it actually ?

Some years only. Doin't know the number withoiut looking for it. Actually it has not been fielded in large quantities so far, that new it is. Phasing old ammunition out and new ammuntiion into service actually takes years.

Does the DM55 also have some incendiary qualities like the uranium round ?

Don't know for sure, but I assume it. Kinetic ammunition almost always enters the inside of the tank as some kind of burning gas only, due to the immense friction heat when penetrating the armour. But I am not a specialist. Maybe Bradclark knows this, if he reads here.

Ehh, did i said IFV ? I meant APC. That new german one. I think it was in that moving engagement movie.

Vielleicht steh' ich auf dem Schlauch - but I do not know what you talk about. the sim so far has the Marder 1A3 for Germany, but they are not crewable, and a variety of M113s. Aslavs are not in use in Germany, and Piranhas are in Dutch service.
