Wasn't it developed to defeat face-hardened armour that would sometimes shatter regular AP shot?

Wow, I managed to know something groggy.. all that time playing this game has paid off ;)

By the way, it's interesting how much of WW2 tech was actully a kind of continuation of medieval principles. Swords and axes were often made with a softer metal body to prevent shattering, and then a cutting edge of harder steel was welded on.

Similarly, fin-stabilised APDS can be seen as basically a giant crossbow bolt.
