Thanks, I didn't know there's a difference between planes and helos in this respect. Then, maybe planes' rockets should have HE penetration? (like eg. weapon #187 4x 80mm S-8 in Soviet oob). Now they are useless against AFVs. A distinction between HE and HEAT S-5 rockets looks kind of artificial to me (especially, that there was also HEAT/Frag variant S-5KO). But this seems a subject for a separate thread...
