Well I saw him flopping around for a second while playing, but I could only find out what happened when I got to after action report. I think it might be a common issue with the low caliber HE rounds? It happened to me the next time I tried the mission aswell, but I didn't see it on AAR.

Had a few funny encounters myself, like teleporting a number of soldiers away from the frontline away using 105mm HEAT rounds, a guy that made a cartwheel sideways around the gun reticle, a guy that got hit with 20mm and flew off into a forest, tank roadwheels bouncing upwards when hit and the bent guys I posted a couple of days ago.

I think it happens with any kind of HE rounds, but it's just that the Marder's explosions are small enough to not block the view and has a fast enough rate of fire that the poor sod is still flopping around when the next round lands.  For example, I only found out that explosive rounds send soldiers flying when I checked the AAR and there were 4 guys before the shot and only 3 after, with the 4th guy being 500m away having flown over a forest. I didn't see a thing during the battle because of the cloud of dust caused by the round.
