Hi Don
Quite right, I got a run on HEATs(7) last night that Im not getting now (3 in a row max).
But....
I still maintain that any gun that fires AP and HEAT should not fire its HEAT rounds unless the range is long enough that the HEAT rounds penetration is better than that of the AP round, not when its less as currently modeled.

Ive managed to defeat IS-1s with stugs and pz 4s (Korsun pocket) precisely because you can penetrate their flanks at long range with the HEAT round.
This strategy is now harder to pursue because now you can waste the HEAT rounds in close encounters. The number carried is limited and it takes a few to get on target, you need every HEAT round you can get when the time comes.

Also from another perspective.

You've got HEAT loaded and the firefly turns to face you, should have been AP!
Best Regards Chuck.
