No. And I never heard of anyone else that did either.

For it to work you needed to have blown through the armour and all weapons on that side already. If you hit from the side (or top or bottom) you then had only a 1 in 3 chance of it hitting the plant (rather than the crew compartment or cargo). If you fired into the front or back you would normally have stripped out enough other stuff to not need to kill the plant anymore.

Assuming it even hit, and that in blowing through the armour you hadn't already damaged the plant (an possibly set the car on fire), and assuming the damage that you had to do to the plant to make it work didn't destroy it anyway.

I think it was planned as a coup de grace, but frankly you would be better off spending the $500 on almost ANYTHING else and just kill the plant the normal way. Sure salvage would be less, but you could offset that with the cost of the anti-power plant rocket and the extra damage you would probably take whilst faffing around trying to engineer a situation where an APPR could be effectively deployed.

The only case where it might have been useful is against cycles as you had a reasonable chance of hitting the plant once you got through armour from any direction and no armour on the sides at all. Of course with the few DPs electric cycle plants had you generally didn't need much more than a light mini-rocket to total most of them anyway, so again a conventional AP rocket would be more cost effective.

As Uncle Al may have said "You can sell anything to someone".
