Check Dirtside II, page 36, Vehicle Weapon Fire Against Infantry.

No hit roll required, just draw chits as specified.

Maximum range for HELs against infantry is 36", you draw 2 chits
regardless 
of weapon class.

For RFACs, MDCs, HVCs and DFFGs against infantry, max range is Medium 
range, you draw 2 chits (3 for DFFGs) regardless of weapon class.

For SLAMs, maximum aimed range against infantry is Close, draw chits
equal 
to weapon class.  Infantry can only be hit as secondary targets at
longer 
ranges.
