Just a general PSA that the 144-pen Soviet 85mm guns has above average HE damage (300 dmg with a full pen) for its caliber. You can significantly increase your DPM against soft targets if you switch to HE and lets you take down soft targets much quicker if you can pen (e.g. you can take down an M44 in 1 shot with HE, vs 2-shots with AP). Though this is caveated that HE round only has 44mm pen, and can lose a lot of damage if you hit a thicker piece of armor, or hit the tracks even on a thinly armored tank, so use with caution:
Anyways, common tanks that I've found are reliably penned by 85mm HE:
Hit-or-miss:
* T67, Hellcat, and ELC AMX from the sides (they have lots of track and not a lot of exposed hull, and the tracks absorb a lot of damage)
* French lights (tends to have lots of weird angles – you can occasionally full pen though)
