Re: HE Penetration
HE penetration comes from the HE pen number, together with warhead size sometimes.
HE penetration is far less reliable than AP shot. And especially less likely for weapons with small warheads, and small HE Pen values.
So your hand grenade is unlikely to make its full value much. HE is not a first choice as an anti-tank munition - though large sizes have some utility (say, 150mm bricks and up).
I have had units do a * or 2 damage to little scout cars by flung hand grenades, without an assault happening (or a top hit on open topped half-tracks etc.) - but that is rarer than rocking horse dung. I'd guess that probably less than 1% would see a 1 penetration.
