Force the Oorai tanks to remain buttoned up, slowing them down. The explosive effect may also, as Ithekro said, cause the tanks to throw a track, or at least damage one.
IRL HE is designed to throw shrapnel (bad for infantry!) and destroy enarmored targets by making big holes in them, such as buildings, etc, but they fare very poorly at penetrating armor.
