Apilas and other AT teams

Same goes e.g. for bazookas and say panzerfaust.

Alright, thanks for the explanation, Andy!

BTW, would it be possible, as far as things go now, to give sufficient penetration to a HE round an use it as AP (i.e. against AFVs), or is the type of roud used linked to the type of target, that is, the unit class?
I mean, if I give an AT team a class 2 or 3 weapon with an HE pen of 40 and HE kill of 7 and no AP or HEAT figures, will it be used against armored vehicles?

I know that HE penetration wouldn't depict HEAT rounds quite well, but it might possibly be useful.

Problem with this is (if it isn't anymore in the new version, please correct me someone) that the HE AP value means not only how many centimeters of the KE armour the shot would penetrate, but also sort of splash damage to other vehicles in the hex, thus with the weapon you've described it would be possible to blow up several vehicles at once.
Atlest so it was when I checked that the last time, which is, to be true, a bit long ago (SPMBT ver. 2?).

Yes - this has been known since SP2 days, when I tried editing the HE pen of UK tank rounds to represent HESH by giving a decent HE-pen figure to the HE round. Worked as required, but has the side effect of destroying multiple BMPs etc parked in the same target hex.
