This unfortunately allows these tanks to "double fire" their main gun vs infantry type targets.
Removing AP/Sabot/HEAT ratings from the M1028 wouldn't solve this (tho it would make the M1028 cheaper).
Short of removing all HE/HEAT ammo from the main gun I don't believe there is any way to stop the "double fire" problem

Agree hence the reason I suggested removing its armour capability so it at least does not fire at armour targets, your not going to shoot this round at them unless you are caught with it loaded & need to clear the gun.

I'm not sure the minimum range thing would work on a direct fire weapon (i.e. non-mortar/ATGM). The other problem with this is in most urban battles is much of the time you can't even "see" an enemy unit till you're adjacent to it. So "see" it then back off to the minimum range?

I am not sure if its possible either
And yes your right if the enemy is to close the weapon is no good, that's the idea this round will not provide good close defence capabilities in my view, that's why you still carry HE MGs & a grenade launcher.
The range of weapons carried by TUSK tanks means you can engage targets in all types of cover. its a veritable 1 man (okay 4 men) army.
