IÂ've always seen Ai using sabot, even against infantry. How can I make AI to choose HEAT that it would more effective against infantry?

Cheers! ;D
You are right of course, to go alone would be crazy. You will be my driver.

You could take away the sabot rounds and add back HEAT.    Use the removeMagazine and addMagzine commands and get the correct names from the weapons and ammo list in the Ed Depot.
Plenty of reviewed ArmA missions for you to play

Since 'Reload HEAT' is an action you can order a unit to perform when you're a Tank Platoon Commander, there must be an Action Command for it, I don't know the exact command but I have this 'string' I copied from somewhere, UnOfficial ComRef I think.

STR_ACTION_MAGAZINE   Reload %s

It's probably something like
*tankname* Action ["Magazine",SHELL120]

in the Config.CPPs, SHELL class ammo are HE, while HEAT class ammo are AP - but in the game when you want HE you tell it to reload HEAT, confusing!
