Uniquely having both direct and explosion damage against vehicles, this ammunition type is well suited for exploring a different approach to infantry support, though in practice is a master of neither tank fighting nor anti-infantry. Nonetheless, it is a somewhat valid alternative to standard HE and can be extremely effective against tank weakspots if given the chance.
