Zraver's posts by comparison with yours are highly accurate and detailed. The only bit he got wrong was that KE rounds are far more prevelent in the British L11 tank gun than he believes. L15 APDS-T rounds were used in large quantity in the Iran-Iraq war by the Kuwaiti's against the Iraqi invasion. L23A1 APFSDS-T was used by the British in GW1 (Challenger 1). Typical ammunition mix for a Chally 1 was 20xL23A1 and 44xL31 HESH or L34 Smoke.

Hrmm, thanks for the info. I always figured KE rounds were less effective and thus not really used by the UK prior to the CHARM rounds becuase the bagged charge system prevented proper penetrator length.
