The removal of the Sabot rounds would render "engineer"/"mine clearing" tanks virtually impotent for anti-armor work.

Who said anything about removing the sabot rounds from engineer tanks????
Not me.
It IS done in some OOB's because the main function of engineer vehicles is to deal with mines and or dragons teeth type obstacles and have large HE loads to fend off infantry as they are the only thing that can freely move through obstacles that's what the AI and human players throw at working engineer vehicles if there is no clear LOS
When I mentioned the M908 I had only just started digging up info on it and it is basically irrelevant to the game. In reality it's designed to remove obstacles by breaking them into small enough bits the dozer can deal with . We don't removed obstacles (like dragons teeth )in the game in that manner but in the end they end up removed just not with all the smoke and noise and if, in the game you wanted to take on a concrete bunker that would perhaps , in reality, be what the M908 could also be used for, the games going to use Sabot or HEAT not "HE" so in reality the M908 is something like a cross between Sabot and Heat in what it can do and in game terms that's already covered well enough by standard Sabot and HEAT.

My comment was directed at certain players not those that do serious research.
Perhaps I should use a sniper rifle rather then a shotgun when I post
