My point is that the CG systems values in general maybe should be upgraded because it today packs a whole lot more power than back in 1948.
Standard round in Sweden is the slpsgr m/75 HEAT round capable of ~400-420mm RHA.

There are better rounds available, including tandem warhead (as Plasma wrote) CS launch types capable of penetrating ~500mm RHA, and even a supercalibre frontloaded type that supposedly penetrates around 750mm.

Don't think there is a round capable of effectively engaging modern MBT frontally though.

The CG excels at "non-AT" work though, with its timefuzed airburst HEDP, breeching and flechette/shotgun rounds. This is its main role today I think.

All that's missing is a FAE round.
