Only if they were HEDP rounds, normal HE rounds would just explode against the skin if by chance one actually physically hit. And chances are 1 or 2 wouldn't do enough damage to bring a helo down as they're just miniature hand grenades and unlike Hollywood you don't blow up buildings with hand grenades.

An HEDP round would do it's shaped charge thing and penetrate into the internal machinery/electronics thus might hit something vital.

A tiger 2 was killed in Normandy by a 2 inch mortar down the commanders hatch and its companion retreated at speed away. Though it may have exploded an ammo truck that was alongside at the time - its not clear exactly what, but 1 dead tiger 2 was the end result.

That does not meant that the 2in mortar will be getting any AT capabilities in the game other than what normally exists. If there was an ammo truck explosion - covered by game mechanics, or in the game one may get a track hit immobilisation which can make the crew bail if bad morale.

Flukes happen, but use of RPG or AGL in the game will only be on landed helos. Most RPG hits on helos seem to be prepared ambushes where the insurgents place themselves precisely far enough away from the spot its going to hover/land etc that the RPG self-destruct will cause an airburst, and with a lot of luck and/or a salvo of rounds simultaneously loosed off, they sometimes get lucky. But RPG or AGL wont be "AA" weapons in the game.
