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...

I checked and tested both 227mm M26CM, M26A1CM, M30CM (slots 293,206,214) and the russian 220mm CM, 300mm 9M531CM (slots 106 & 102) and all have no AP pen value (=0), nor HEAT, so the bomblets are not able to penetrate armor, only to damage or immobilise (and/or to harass).
