I and at least one of my opponents have been occasionally firing ATR vs Infantry TH in hopes of a CH or perhaps to avoid a DRM on the roll. Say +2 hinderance, take the shot for a 6 to hit infantry in hopes of getting a one flat vs the squad instead of a 1 (+2 shot), with possible cowering.
I have also fired them in similar situations against guns/crews in hopes of a CH.
My opponent last night pointed out a section that may make that N/A unless the ATR is 20mm. It is the footnote to C8.31 (HE Equivalency)
1: No AP-type attack can leave Residual FP. ATR can use AP HE Equivalency only if it is 20mm.
Is this correct? Are ATR (non 20mm) shots vs the ITT basically worthless? Probably makes sense, but I certainly have been playing it wrong for a while if so.
