That is alas untrue.

Not quite. The fact that some modern light guns are being developed with good AP and sabot rounds doesn't change the fact that there already are many guns/units out there which don't have that and that come (mostly) with HEAT rounds.

You should also remember that the performance of AP and sabot rounds decreases significantly at the actual modern combat ranges, unlike that of HEAT rounds. There will be a certain range at which these SLAT vehicles with increased heat-armor will be (depending on angle) immune to both the HEAT and AP/sabot rounds of certain guns where in reality the HEAT rounds would still be able to destroy them.
