In my understanding, a HEAT round would be effectively "ruined" by having to pass through a significant amount (anything a tank might consider "cover") of earth, sandbags, stone, etc before impacting on the intended armoured target.
A pure AP round on the other hand might be able to cut through the obstacle relatively well.
