I just tried the engineers AT guns HE shell and it didnt do anything to infantrie.
It seems the guns have diffrent impact in diffrent campaigns, but is the HE shell good in any?
It works, but has the same issue as tank rounds. The revamped HE system needs the shell to hit the ground in relative vicinity of the soldiers you’re firing at. If you overshoot or undershoot - which is easy to do, then chances are they will be out of the major damage range band. They might take some damage but not enough to down or kill them if downed.
The other issue you have is the HE fuse, which will detonate on any intervening terrain and will not actually land where you’re aiming. The hitboxes of hedgehogs, building rubble with girders sticking out, lamp posts, wooden knife edges and sandbag walls/fortifications will all absorb your HE shrapnel.
At gun HE of all campaigns outiside berlin are to weak to do something aganaist infantry

He is about splash DMG ,not direct hits.
So if a group of infantry is running along a wall, you hit the wall to have the splash DMG killing the infantry.
HE Gun is only good on Berlin due to calibre of gun and HE not being so explosive as a result.

Hitting a person directly with HE massively improves the effectiveness of the blast around him in all directions for some reason and also explosions from shells seem to bounce back away from the wall or floor at the opposite angle that they hit
maybe it gives it extra shrapnel from bone fragments or blows up the grenade he’s carrying lol
