Thanks for the info!

Obviously the slug's velocity and mass are somewhat inbetween AP and HEAT, depending on the size and principle.

Are there any reports of EFP slugs being used IRL?
The ERA penetration data would help.

Regarding the KEMs, I have done some tests and the AP penetration doesn't seem to fall off with the distance like it does with the tank rounds (tested on ranges from 400 to 4750m, pen=200 all the way).

On the first results, the rejection rate of the advanced ERA seems quite low though: 3 times on 16 hits, with 9 ERA tiles on each side.
Does the weapon penetration have an influence on this? Value was the same as for the original KEM (LOSAT), i.e. 200.

It is really interesting, so TOW-2B with AP warhead will be more accurate, as it is top-attack weapon.
About Adv.ERA, try compare rejection rate of tank AP rounds

I really have no clue about the various EFP types.
Only ERA vulnerability seems to change, and I have no data on this IRL.

KEM seems obvious OTOH and works perfectly.
