Default Re: HE Penetration

Some shots will bounce. Smaller warhead size more so than larger.

If penetrated, smaller warhead size is less likely to kill crew and cause damage as it rattles about inside the AFV.

AT rifles aren't a particularly reliable way of killing tanks. If they do penetrate then sometimes they hit air inside the armoured box.

But then again, I have killed panthers by firing a 14.5 ATR in the side armour at 2 hexes. But the usual thing with them is a spotted and shot-up crew.

That's the thing about random numbers - you dont get many complaints when they roll in the user's favour, plenty when they don't.
