Less penetration than a Sabot round, especially against modern
composite/reactive armors. Russians use them because their poor
quality control doesn't allow them to produce quality munitions, but
guided missles don't take much sophistication. US's experience was
that the firing of a standard round would generally knock out the
optics to guide the missle.
