AP and HE tank rounds

In game AP rounds do more damage against APCs as they mostly instakill where HE needs at least 2hits. So if you're a gunner you keep AP loaded unless dealing with infantry. But IRL they use HEAT/HESH for lightly armoured vehicles.
Suggestion: increase HE damage and reduce AP damage against all vehicles except modern MBTs.
Also is it possible to have projectiles cause a random amount of damage to reflect the chance a sabot round simply passes straight through without hitting anything critical?
