Default Re: Heaven and hell

Because the 37mm popgun still has, in its eyes, a larger chance of doing some damage with AP than with HE. The HE for 37mm is EXTREMELY weak, good for infantry suppression, nothing more.

StuG III: AI checks what damage can be done at that range with given types of ammo (this case AP and HE), reaches conclusion (based on AP pen, range, HE pen, WH size etc.) that the HE morelikely to cause damage at this range and fires it.
Pz III: AI checks HE and AP again and reaches conclusion that while the AP is poor, the HE is even worse, so fires AP.

Don't forget that the AP pen for both weapons are comparable but HE stats vary significantly!
