Re: 120mm M1028
Originally the "TUSK" tanks had only the M1028 and no main gun.
The problem was that this made them incapable of engaging armored targets or targets at range.
So now the M1028 is placed in weapon slot #2.
This unfortunately allows these tanks to "double fire" their main gun vs infantry type targets.
Removing AP/Sabot/HEAT ratings from the M1028 wouldn't solve this (tho it would make the M1028 cheaper).
Short of removing all HE/HEAT ammo from the main gun I don't believe there is any way to stop the "double fire" problem.
I'm not sure the minimum range thing would work on a direct fire weapon (i.e. non-mortar/ATGM). The other problem with this is in most urban battles is much of the time you can't even "see" an enemy unit till you're adjacent to it. So "see" it then back off to the minimum range?
