I upgraded my EFEC tanks with the explosive shells special attack and used it 8 times in a game on Palmico against Russia. Not once did it do any damage to any hostile's HP or shields. I tried it on: Riflemen in the open, riflemen in cover, gunships, transports, artillery, Fast Attack Vehicles, and Force Recon tanks. And before anyone says anything, yes, I'm sure they actually do the attack. I press the Y button, here them acknowledge it, and watch them let off attacks that make very large explosions directly on the enemy, and the bullet icon disappears.
