HE vs AP tank fire

Correct.

The best theoretical penetration for HE for that gun and WH size is 4 which matches the best theoretical "Best AP" penetration and beats standard AP pen by 1

Weapon ID 11 37mm L46 Type94 on the other hand has a "Best HE" pen of 2 but a AP pen of 5 and a "Best AP" pen of 6 so you won't see the situation you describle when that ATG is used.

The Yi-Go is best used as infantry support not tank/tank fighting
