My ATR has just fired and hit the hull of a half track.

My to kill die roll is 1 > the kill number.

C7.7 says if HE then this results in immobilisation.

An ATR doesn't feel like a HE weapon. in fact it uses the AP to kill table. So am i right in thinking the HE 1 > TK# doesn't apply here?

Also, after another few minutes of reading the rule book i think C7.41 says a non-HE hit 1 > TK # causes a possible shock against an AFV. But in my case its a half track. is a half track an AFV?

Thanks for any replies.

ATRs use the AP To-Kill table [C13.2].

All vehicles with armor are armored fighting vehicles (AFVs) [D1.2].

Remember, that if hit into the rear, the target's AF is reduced by one.
Also remember, that the TK of the ATR might be improved by (short) range.

ATRs can be quite useful against halftracks.

Rather : the Basic TK# is increased by one (EDIT C7.21) - otherwise firing at a rear AF of 0 would lead to some problematic rules debates...

I don't think AF 0 starts a troublesome debate, or else possibly I'm starting the troublesome debate :) now... but AF 0 is not an unarmored vehicle (if that's where you saw the debate headed). There are AFVs with AF 0, the US halftracks are rotten with them. ... 0 confers invulnerabilty to small arms, unarmored doesn't. Edit....

Ahhhh I see I missed your point... you see the rules debate happening around a -1 armor (0 from the rear)... Got it.

But as long as we're being precise... it's C7.21:)

I will edit my post, with the correct letter to the rule reference.
