Excluding an unlikely direct hit, an HE shell typically lands on the ground within its blast radius of the target, so the splinters hit its side.

Area-fire efficiency is not much different from Artillery efficiency, so I see no reason to set them via different programs.

What other kind of house rules have you encountered ?

Prohibit all area fire, allow area fire only for definding/delaying HMGs.
