For years my group played the Assault Cannon shell as a normal armour
piercing bullet, i.e. armour is at 50% normal value.

Then we found the exact same paragraph as Terry and changed our rules to
half armour piercing, i.e. armour is at 75% normal value.

We felt that is was okay to limit the AC a bit. Now, the anti-vehicle is
actually better in some situations.

We tried to find a book rule about it, but as we found one we used the above.
