Greyhound vs Mortar HT (1.23) Greyhound down

Was playing US yesterday and decided to go motor pool instead of tank yard for something different.  First Greyhound out I upgunned but didn't have muni at the time to add skirts.

I then proceeded to hunt down the mortar HT that had been punishing my infantry when low and behold I get hit by one motor round and drop to less then half life? Repair up and head out again and same situation?

Is this normal and just something I hadn't noticed before ? If so it seems pretty excessive.

Btw I know I can shoot and move and micro better to avoid the shell but I am just wondering if this is the expected damage?

It's just an armored car, has lower health without the skirts... by the way Dev Team didn't changed that unit. IMO, the mortar ht doesn't need to be "fixed".

EDIT: Fixed... Sorry i mixed up the terms :-X... I confused the Grayhound with the T-17.

First of all, always upgrade the skirts first and then the MG.
At 150 hpts it does appear to take alot of damage when hit...however mortars do cinsiderable damage when hitting directly most vehicles as they autopenetrate...against most armoured cars and halftracks they also have an extremely high chance to cause automatic engine damage.
Its always been like that...in fact mortars where even worse several patches ago if I remember right...

The funny thing is that both M-8 and T-17 have less HP than a Jeep.
Jeep takes normal 36 dmg from 1 mortar round, M3 Halftrack, M-8 and T-17 take x2 dmg (72) from german mortars (both).
This makes the Jeep 2,5 times more resistant to german mortars than an M-8.

Allied mortars are more accurate and do x2 dmg vs infantry (40), but their base dmg is only 20 and they have no multipliers vs halftracks and armored cars.
