I don't think this has been suggested before, but how about giving the PLA army 14.5mm HE rounds? They ARE in use in the PLA, but not the Russian Army.

Russia / USSR 14.5 mm/93 2M-7

Hehe I think Teek is on the money

14.5mm ammo is loaded "party-mix" style. That is, it alternates between up to 4-5 different rounds to provide optimal damage and fire corrections. We can't simulate that effect in PR, but we do have a very small splash radius on them. Regarding the HE-I round, that's known as "MDZ" in Russia, the mixture is only dispersed in a 20cm radius apparently. One can safely assume that the initial intention of such a small radius was to damage the inner-workings of aircraft.

Would it make sense to have it loaded in such a party mix for, say, the BTRs?

Apparently all KPVT's in BTR's and BRDM's are loaded that way. Using ammunition alteration that switches between a variety of rounds. It would be a safe bet that the PLA also do this with their 14.5mm weapons like on the VN3, though accurate sourcing on that would be hard to come by.

Quick, lets all get ninja kits and find a PLA base >:}


Just kidding secret chinese internet police.


But seriously, it would be nice for a larger splash

agree that idea!
But i thiks spash is not big!

@ Jaymz, I'm pretty sure party mix is possible so long as it's the only weapon in the slot (No coax operating simultaneously in otherwords, which from what I can remember is realistic as well on some tanks (I think it was the Challenger 2 used as an example?)).

On pretty much any tank, but that transcends into another problem. We would have the made coaxial MG's a separate weapon many releases ago if switch delays weren't so simplistic and remembered when a round was loaded.

That's unfortunately true, but if the conflict is only between a Coax and a single-feed party-mix autocannon it shouldn't be a problem.

Party mix refers to AP and HE rounds in a single belt/chain of ammunition right?

Is it staggered like ABABABAB or like ABBABB?
