T32 heavy tank

M82 (and therefore T41 and T50 rounds) are all fused APHE rounds.

US designations omit the explosive filler in AP rounds if they have any, as well as ballistic cap. M82 (together with T41 and T50) are all APCBC-HE, designated as just APC under US designation.

The T41 was an M82 adapted with a driving band of slightly greater diameter to work with the T15 cannon, meaning it still retained the fuse and everything else about the M82.
Also the document you were refering to never specifies about the round not having a fuse, which seems you’ve made that up. Also the fuze used on the rounds are the M68 series fuzes.

Also if the rounds didn’t use a fuze, they would have been labelled in the reports as Inert, which isn’t the case.

bro where is proof?..documents or?..

documents?

Fuzes: TM 43-0001-28
Round:


Inert rounds if used: OP 1664 (Vol. 1), Part 1 — Chapter 1 — Section 1

It never specifies that the round here was inert, whereas you mentioned the document mentioned it was inert, but that is not the case, can you provide proof that it was inert?

How many more documents do people need to provide for you to realise you have no clue what you are going on about?

This is a diagram of the complete M82 round. You can see the fuze (base detonation fuze M68) and the explosive filler.

T41 is just an M82 projectile modified for separated ammunition such as the T32’s cannon.

For T50:

Besides this document directly stating it has a fuse (same M68 fuse as M82), other people have posted documents that state T50 is just an improved M82.
