Question: Pillbox Firing HE at Armor When AP is Available

[Imp]

The answer will be as stated in the first reply look at the diffrence between the HE & AP penetration figures there is probably not much in it.

And even if it did have AP shot, as it is a short barrelled item then it may well not have much AP value beyond very short range. So it would still fire HE as that may have better AP value at range. Or the Stugs armour may be too much for its low AP value - so it may reserve that and fire HE instead
