T-72(the only one I play) MBT HE-Frag round's splash damage hurts the crew inside(gunner, at least, because I was gunner; and the MG gunner died).

Step to reproduce: get in T-72, load HE-Frag, fire at wall 5m away.

I hurt myself and killed MG gunner with He-Frag at around 10m.

So it's very possible.

This effect seems more in-line with HESH ammo; but then any semi-modern composite armour should easily negate its effects.

It's always been there, I've used this to troll tank crews in the BMP-3, and now T-62 with it. It's not effective, but even the HEAT ammo suffered from the same issue, albeit at a much shorter distance.

HEAT rounds affect the crewmen in all tanks if they are fired close enough.Tested and confirmed it on a German Leopard.
