ABBREVIATION: APHEI
TITLE: APHEI -- ARMOR-PIERCING HIGH-EXPLOSIVE INCENDIARY

An armor-piercing round with a high-explosive warhead that does not detonate until it has penetrated the armor of its target to insure maximum effect.

APHEI adds a secondary incendiary effect to the fragmentation damage.

APHEI-T has a tracer that allows the gunner to follow the round in flight and correct targeting errors.
