Quite frankly, nobody used the VT batteries, not even me - and I started the idea off!. They are for punching grunts and most SPMBT warfare is high intensity armoured warfare where you want the HE pen. and IIRC, they were rather expensive as they were cluster ammo?.
So probably the best thing to do is to delete the pesky things - less maintenance and all...

I agree 100%, just get rid of them.
CM munitions cover what VT does pretty darn well and the cost is similar, and with CM you always have the option to fire normal shells.
You could add CM to everyone to represent VT, but that would be a LOT of work.
Or maybe increase the HE Kill ratings of artillery after a certain date to represent the availability of advanced VT fuses, again a LOT of work.
The easy, smart, option would be to not mess with it and just assume artillery automatically uses various ammo types and that's built into the current artillery stats.
