Is this more like wargame or steel divison?

More like world in conflict, but if I had two chose one of your options I'd say Wargame.

Contrary to the name, HEAT does not rely on actual heat to penetrate armor. The warhead consists of a high explosive charge around a conical metal case. Once detonated, the charge causes the metal cone to rapidly collapse towards the center of the projectile. The metal is cold-formed and accelerated to a velocity of up to Mach 25.

This "metal jet" penetrates up to 1,200 mm of homogeneous armor steel. In this process, the armor is not penetrated by heat, but by the high speed of the metal jet. The confusion is based on the fact that when the metal jet emerges and penetrates, enormous pressure and thus high temperatures are generated, which cause metal to melt. However, this is a side effect and happens after or during penetration.

If you want to learn more, read up on the Munroe effect.

Thank you for the explanation! Please more if you dont mind

Pre order when?

This!

"In fact, the shaped charge concept is not well understood by people outside
the science of ordnance devices. For example, a shaped charge jet is not a "cutting plasma" and does not "burn its way through the armor" as reported
INTRODUCTION TO SHAPED CHARGES 7
by Lawton (1986), Aronson (1986), and Schemmer (1987). Also, Kennedy
(1985) addressed this issue and stated that probably 9 of 10 descriptions of
shaped charge HEAT projectile functioning are in error. [See Kennedy's
(1985) references 6, 21, 27, 30, 31, and 33 for example.] The acronym HEAT
stands for high explosive anti-tank and does not relate to thermal effects."

Funademntals of shaped charges page 7. Further they state that the British used cadmium liners which probably became molten but would splatter uselessly against armor.

Please correct the description of how HEAT rounds work, HEAT rounds don't work by 'melting' the armor, HEAT is just an acronym for high explosive anti tank, they penetrate armor by pure kinetic energy just as sabot (APFSDS) rounds do , the term 'chemical energy' refers only to how the penetrating jet is formed and not how it penetrates the armor.
