Default 120mm M1028

USMC weapon 105 120mm M1028 120mm canister!! Duck shooting anyone?
A couple of thoughts on this weapon.

1) Due to the fact its a main gun round & its primary use is vs soft targets would it make sense to remove the HE penetration value.
Not disputing that the core has one it just stops it being fired along with the main gun at hard targets. This will stop it "double firing" so often, main gun & this weapon.
Cant treat as a sort of AP ammo I assume due to the HEAT round using those ranges.

2) Despite the fact it is carried by urban tanks it has an "arming time" Watching slow motion video of it in use it takes a while to break up & scatter so is not that lethal at close range.
Cant give it a lower kill value for close range so perhaps if possible give it a minimum range of 2 or 3

3) It has an accuracy rating one less than the main gun which is fair enough for targeting a hard target but vs soft its probably pretty hard to miss.
If remove AP effect could adjust accuracy to 16 (one better than main gun) & perhaps reduce kill slightly.
Realise accuracy uses a set formula but this is a rare weapon type so minor tweaking may be okay.
