Right now I am experiencing about 25-28% chance that a round will hit, but with cause a Non-Penetrating Effect, sometimes it will immobilize the target, but most of the time, it has no effect. Is it suppose to be that high?
Yes. HE is not a particularly effective way of killing tanks. KE is (which is why they removed the fuse from the 5.5 inch HE round and replaced it with a blanking plug when they fired directly at tanks. It made it into a big & heavy KE round).

HE is not bad at blowing tracks and running gear off AFV though.
