AP and Sabot represent ammo that is intended to be used against armoured targets, and that in game cannot even by fired against infantry targets.

HEAT ammo represent shaped charges that are intended to be used against armoured targets, but pack enough bang to have an effect on infantry targets - though usually being in limited supply, are better not wasted on them unless you are sure there are no longer armoured targets left to worry about.
