You didn't talk about HESH but yeah, I guess.

>>Now everyone is going back to shoving HE into an AP round and using it for doing everything that isn't taking out really hard mbt armor

What are you referring to here?

https://www.army.mil/article/98946/Army_developing_new_120mm_AMP_tank_round

basically a APHEBC round for taking out light vehicles, bunkers, older tanks, demolition and infantry to replace the MPAT

So "having an HE round" is now "going back" ?

Tanks have always had HE rounds. Did you think that they didn't? The very first rounds tanks fired were HE.

>>33172358
I dont think you understand the difference between HE and APHE

>>33172401

I don't think you actually thought this thread through before posting it.

You seem to think that tanks only had AP rounds until the US Army decided to replace the HE round they were already using with another HE round.

>You seem to think that tanks only had AP rounds

Not in the slightest, you're simply being autistic at this point.

>>33172434

That's the central point you appear to be making.

Maybe you should have actually thought about this thread *before* posting it.

>>33172358
are you retarded?

>>33172488
You're on /k/ and have to ask that?

>tfw you thought as a kid that HESCO was some Umbrella tier virus making corporation.

Guess my face when i was told to fill hundreds of them with dirt.

>>33171387
OP, are you aware that tanks can carry more than one type of ammunition? Sabots primarily meant for use against MBTs, HEAT and HE are carried for softer targets

For some reason americans decided to roll with just sabot and HEAT(MPAT) though

ayy

You are aware that the entire reason for making a round like AMP is so that you don't have to compromise on ammunition?
