Armor Piercing

Armor Piercing is a quality that some weapons have. The name refers to the nature of the weapon's ammunition, but in use it functions like a different weapon. AP weapons are usually variants of more default weapons, like a tanks canon. AP weapons do significantly more damage to heavily armored targets like main battle tanks and Phalanx turrets. In exchange for this their area-of-effect is almost nonexistent. Armor-Piercing weapon variants can be found in tank canons, rocket launchers, and some aerial weapons.
