As an Infantryman I will tell you that I am unsure which would be worse for facing an air burst- being on the fround or inside an open top APC. On the ground if it misses you ithe sharpness will embed itself into the ground or something else. In an APC the shrapnel could ricochet; though on the plus side after the first burst the APC could displace more quickly. This might all be a moot point as many artillerymen prefer a mix of VT (airburst) and point detonation in certain terrain .
Thanks.
Looking at the rules I think it's a case that just isn't covered. Per the rules there is no effect on the APC's/Inf unless an X or > is rolled as a result.
"Conversely, a personnel unit loaded on an APC is protected by the APC's armor value, and is immune to all results on the direct fire and bombardment table except X, 2X and 3X."
