Should I use its APDS or stick to its APHE?

Based on my experience, the T-10M will start seeing things the AHPE struggle to pen in an uptier, like Merkavas has composite which require quite a little bit of aiming effort when using APHE, but APDS will go through them easier but only slightly. In short, APDS will have an easier time penetrating most things it sees but the post-pen damage sucks big time in comparison to APHE, the 122mm actually has higher post-pen damage than the 130mm from IS-7 and Object 279.

Ok, ill use APHE. what about its HEAT-FS?

useless compared to APDS. usually I mainly use APHE, some APDS as back up, 1-2 HE to overpressure. If big map, switch APHE and APDS

Yup, 1620 m/s muzzle velocity on the APDS is saw-weet. APHE/APDS and no HEAT-FS.

Or if you have this:

Forget the T-10M ever exists.
