British OOB / 25pdr AT gun

What ranges were you firing at? Sabot performance drops off rapidly with range. If you were shooting at distant tanks, HE might well have been the better option.

That is correct. The rounds are picked by the game based on which one has a better chance of doing damage and "damage" could mean hoping for a disablement rather than an outright kill.

In some cases that means weapons like 25 pounders fire will HE at armoured targets because the HE has a better chance of doing something worthwhile at that range. Under 1100 yards the 25 pdr in the AT role will fire Sabot at armoured targets. It's a simple test to set up in the editor.

Thanks for the reply, meanwhile I tested it and found it's exactly as you're saying. Doesn't really make me happier with that weapon but anyways... the British OOB requires different tactics...
