These are old late-WW2 guns or such, but high velocity nonetheless. Do we assume these rounds will be stopped by the SLAT anyway? Maybe low-tech enough to be totally spent by 25cm standoff.

For reference, 35 is the lowest HEAT value for 105mm tank guns I have found (haven't checked everything though). 90mm guns, even the most modern, are generally slightly under 30.

Since the basic Stryker has no HEAT armour, what will be added will be the only protection between HEAT rounds and destruction.

In truth, gun launched HEAT rounds should usually not be affected by lightweight slat armour like that carried by the Stryker. The rounds are constructed a lot tougher mainly because they are supposed to be fired out of a gun, and won't be "dashed to bits" so easily as a PG-7. Older types can be even tougher since they are supposed to be fired out of a rifled gun...

BUT, these types are old rounds, how often will slat type armour come up against these old type gunlaunched rounds?

Perhaps this would be a smaller problem than not representing the slat protection against early RPG ammunition?
