quote ray "28lb was a H/E Anti-Tank round not sure if it was fired by another tank or by an artillery piece" hope you dont mind ray

There were 28lb HE and AP rounds for the 3.7" antiaircraft gun.

The 28lb HE round was nose fuzed and the AP was solid with a tracer.

They are the only 28lb shells I am aware of.

I assume that 28lb HEAT round you are after information on is a shaped charge round rather than a base fuze APHE?
