While dominant over every other ammunition type, the decreased effectiveness at range when compared to the Panzergranate 39/43 - which can already penetrate most tanks it needs to - makes this ammo have limited worth. It retains range superiority with penetration over the available ammo types until a range of 547.86/595.04m when it is bested by the 8.8cm Granate 39 Hohlladung.
