Okay, NOW I see how it works. The problem is that the damaging effects of the WP smoke appear to wear off after about 5 or 10 seconds. That's why I couldn't damage myself earlier.
Still, I prefer HE rounds. They have a larger blast radius. An HE round from the Russian 82mm mortar can kill a 12-man squad with standard AI spacing. The WP's damaging effects wear off so quickly that it's unlikely you'll be able to kill any more infantry who walk into its smaller kill zone. WP only seems to be more useful for zeroing in targets and *maybe* for blocking the enemy's field of vision.
