A HEAT round is a multi staged explosive warhead used to penetrate armor. HEAT rounds don't spin they just punch through with the explosive.

All NATO Tanks Have a smooth bore main gun. The Challenger is still getting ported over to my knowledge but the Abrams, Challenger 2, and Leopard 2 all have the same gun.

If a SABOT round hit an APC the Crew would be toast even if it went threw and threw the impact of the round pushes shrapnel into the vehicle. And the kinetic heat from the impact would probably cause problems also.

IMO any tank round that hit an APC would take it out of action. If the APC was lucky the crew could live and bail. In game I've never seen an APC survive a tank hit very long. So I think the system is fine as is.

Nope, the Challenger 2 still uses the L30A1 Rifled gun as its main armament. The Abrams carries the Riemenatall L44, while the Leo 2 carries the L55 (a longer, more powerful version of the same gun)

This man is correct. Us = Rifled, everyone else = smoothbore.

It's your guy's tank so I trust you to know. I had heard down the pipe that you guys were getting a smooth version. The L30A1 is produced by Rheinmetall if I'm not mistaken.
