LAW 80 firing AP at infantry?!?!

[rfisher]

Full marks to Listy and Narwan for truly helpful answers! Thanks very much, your replies explain everything.

I knew the LAW 80 has a HEAT warhead, I was only pointing out that I had put the ammo load out number into the AP box (like every other LAW carrying unit I've seen) as opposed to the HE box. (thanks to Listy for explaining why this works)

As for HEAT being used against soft targets in reality, I was really referring to the game as a simulation, and expressing how annoying it is watching one of your few, expensive AT rockets whizzing off hot on the heels of a retreating crew member! I was wondering if the HE effect really needed to be represented eg. as a lot of the SPMBT battles we play involve large scale war against masses of armour, I don't think it is unreasonable to assume your squaddies are under orders not to waste their AT weapons on soft targets. (thanks narwan for explaining why I don't have to worry about this either.)
