True, fellows, but consider the matter of resupply. 18 rounds in one engagement is indeed a veritable cornucopia of heavy-duty firepower. 18 rounds stretched over 3-4 engagements, though... not so much.
When operating far out in front of logistical trail, cut off by an enemy envelopment, or, say, after the TDM takes multiple links out of the supply chain, 18 rounds is going to go pretty fast. I bet the vehicle crews and the unit commanders are going to be wishing for more ammo carrying capacity in their light tanks/AGSs.
