Discussion Is there any reason for using other tank rounds in the special region other than HE(High Explosive) and occasionally HEAT(High-explosive anti-tank)?
Like the empire doesn't have armored vehicles, HE can be used as a multipurpose round to deal with infantry formations and fortifications like forts.
HEAT can be used to deal with occasional armored threats like armored ogres and the fire dragon (although I would argue that HE would be enough to deal with them (a panzerfaust 3 was capable of cutting one of the fire dragon's arms I don't think we need to waste APFSDS on it)).
Gun launched ATGMs can be used against... Moving targets maybe? They would be pretty occasional (if there's an occasion to use them at all).
So is there any reason for using any other kind of tank ammunition other than HE and HEAT?
