This article is a stub. It is short and in need of fortification. Why not help out? |
The Armor Piercing, Fin Stabilized, Discarding Sabot - Tracer (APFSDS-T) cartridge is a type of kinetic energy (KE) armor defeating round. It consists of a fin stabilized subprojectile, a tracer assembly attached to the rear of the fin and a depleted uranium (DU) or tungsten penetrator with a ballistic tip to reduce drag.
It is currently recognized as the most effective tank-fired anti-armor round in the world.
Battlefield 3
The APFSDS-T Shell is a specialization for IFVs, adding a large-caliber smoothbore cannon for engaging armor. It does not inflict splash damage on infantry due to its design, but is still fatal should the user score a direct hit. APFSDS-T has the same magazine count as HE shell, and its reload is independent of the HE shell, in effect allowing for a continous stream of cannon fire.
