I just played a full game, with every tank i own having bought AP rounds. (Sherman upgun, and M18 upgrade)
There was no button to push to allow the tank to fire AP rounds, nor did there seem to be any passive buff to the tank's damage or penetration that would make it seem that the tanks were shooting AP rounds all along.

this worked fully in my tests, i'll make sure its implimented correctly for the upgun. the pershing can't buy it, the m10s and m18s is working 100% from all other reports.

*FUCK*
Just did a test with salan, An m18 with AP rounds will take a tiger with Heat to 60% health or less 1 on 1
2 M18s will kill it.

No no! Armor piercing is fine! I beat the tiger cause i circle strafed it and managed to take it down to 1/4 hp before it got a shot on me.  |

On other note I outmicroed 2 m10s with tiger (no other at involved) taking only one penetrating shot from out of control last m10.
But I hadn't met this ap rounds on shermans yet, but it doesn't look op for the t4 in other hand HEAT could get a small buff.

HEAT rounds doesn’t need at buff it is already the most popular T4 for Blitz. I haven’t seen any AP round tanks yet but on paper the ability sound VERY powerful… |

Micro is OP - ban exploiters that use it! Honestly, you can kill 2 tigers with one tetrarch if you do it right, so there's no surprise an M10 can do it too  . |
