There is no HESH ammo in the game (was never implemented by SSI).

Yup, I know, just lumped HESH together with HEAT as CE weapons.

If you made all HE as HEAT you would have all HEAT A/T rounds - BUT no proper HESH HE effect (the HE effect for larger HESH rounds should extend into the next hex, as a HESH shell is a solid lump of plastic explosive, unlike HEAT which is a hollow charge with less explosive than a HE shell).

Not much expert on HESH weapons, but (WARNING! SPECULATION follows! ) OTOH the HESH shell doesn't produce much splinters whereas many HEAT rounds do despite smaller charge - IMO this would offset the effects of both rounds so that both would be less successfull in infantry killing than HE-FRAG of the same caliber.
Atleast that's the way I feel it should be so doing this in my OOB set Just wanted to be sure that if I move all the HE shells in my HESH using tanks to the HEAT folder, they would be fired upon infantry if needed.
