Used by British aircraft against german tanks, instead of the 60lb SAP warhead they used the 25lb AP warhead.

That was the original intention, but it was quickly found that the 25lb AP rockets worked much better against ships and the 60lb rockets worked much better against GVs and thus their roles were reversed.
