Pz 2, T-60 and Ta-Se have absolutely impotent HE rounds. As example you can land a shot like 30cm near infantry and it wont make at least some small amount of damage. Infantry can stick out of the window and HE shot to window frame wont do any damage to them. I`m not telling that it should immediately kill them, but at least take 10% of HP. Please add some small amount of splash damage to 20mm HE rounds.
Also Ive noticed that sometimes it takes 2-3 direct 20mm AP rounds to the chest to kill a person, if we take into consideration slow reload and fast overheating - simple bolt action rifle becomes much more effective gun for anti-infantry usage.

I agree, HE ammunition was nerfed thanks to crybabies back then. What a mistake.

I mean, high caliber HE is ok as it is rn. But it seems like they have straight forward cut HE damage to everything by the same percentage.
I recall when players complained that HMGs were too powerful (back when HMGs could shoot through several wooden houses in a row, killing the soldiers that followed, and were real beasts in Moscow and the Pacific), and instead of nerfing the HMG’s penetrating ability, DF increased the strength of all wood by a factor of 150 (0.1 → 15).

it did, but DF are really lazy, so instead of tweaking the damage/pen of each gun, they just made nearly every surface impenetrable. now it’s like the HMGs can shoot through 20mm of steel, but not wood
