Stiener: I think that discussion you had was with someone else. No matter. The British APDS round for the 6 pounder was very excellent! The problem was availability. I read somewhere that all British tank special ammo was 4 rounds. Churchills and Comets had 4 rounds of APDS. The AT guns probably had a much larger supply of APDS. Also, there were trajectory issues with the APDS, which were solved later (not sure of the date on that, but probably after Caen).
