There are 120mm rounds that both make the hole and explode insides. It’s a clever thing called a delay fuse.

M339, for example.

Although it’s worth noting that the British Army used Prac HESH in Basra to minimise collateral damage vs the actual high explosive versions.

Befitting the naming of formations, the heavy would bring a sledgehammer (as per above).

The medium ones (as per what has been released of the plans) would have to chisel through, if they engage in MOUT.

- repeat :!: (with the CTA autocannon that does not take long, but starts to eat into the number of ready rounds)
