An APDS round from a GM6 Lynx can easily penetrate a Military cargo tower wall with a penetration depth value of 57mm meanwhile a HEAT round from a MAAWS with a penetration depth value of 499mm can't penetrate Military cargo tower walls.HEAT rounds are meant to penetrate thick armor of tanks and yet it can't penetrate relatively thin military tower steel walls.This is significant when there are enemies hiding inside structures made out of these similar metal walls.

@Asphronix You need to clarify the conditions to reproduce it.
If the target is close to the wall (~ 0-40cm), it does not receive damage from HEAT penetration.
If the target is farther from the wall (~ 40-70cm), it receives damage from HEAT penetration.

It seems it is because how Fuses are designed in HEAT Rounds which is how it is supposed to be.
Closing.
