These two MRLs use separate weapons for cluster warheads, with weapon class 14 ("Cluster Bomb" - they treat "HE" ammo as bomblets).

Please make sure you didn't test the "standard" version (with class 3 weapon - has normal HE) instead of the "CM" version (with class 14 weapon - "HE" is really cluster, and has higher HE Pen value)

edit: just dropped a bunch of BM-30 on a clump of Abrams, and a bunch of BM-30 CM on another bunch of Abrams - the unitary rockets destroyed some tanks, while the bomblets only immobilised them.
Interesting...
