sure ill try to explain.
everytime you hit a ship (with anything) it must first pass the hull armor. The damage will only be applied if you can defeat the armor. HE rounds basicly do more damage but cannot penetrate thick armor. So they are useless agains strong armored ships but they are better agains weak targets. AP on the other hand can penetrate thick armor, but will do less damage. So they are good agains strong armored targets and not "that" good agains weak targets.
