Both of the HEAT rounds should easily be able to slice through the T-62, which only had around 200mm of non-composite RHA on the turret.
Was it a hard or soft kill? Did the 30mm hits actually penetrate the frontal turret armor and kill/incapacitate the crew and/or detonate the main gun armor? Or, did they destroy the turret optics and whatnot, rendering the vehicle toothless? Or, did the 30mm hits impel the crew to panic and abandon ship, as it were?

I haven't applied all of the 4e vehicle combat rules yet, so I'm not sure if they model any of those soft kill options in the scenario described. I'll have to take a closer look.
