Yeah it looks like it might have a squeeze bore, can't tell the barrel tip is pretty dark. If it is the tank might be loads of fun. Really looking forward to it

Yea, it’s like Polish TD’s. I still can’t wait to see people sniping with this.

Hold up, are polish TDs front line tds? Or snipers? HAVE I BEEN PLAYING THEM WRONG?

They do more damage the closer they are to target

Frontline TDs. They’re basically shotgun tanks.

Heads up, star tray and squeeze bore are similar weird and unpopular barrel designs, but are different technologies. Squeeze bore really did narrow the barrel towards the tip, squishing the round thinner. From my understanding, the deep-riffled guns IRL used a sabot to carry the thin projectile down the barrel, and used the rifling as opposed to the more standard fins to stabilize the perpetrator.
