Perhaps one of our esteemed techno geeks could give the particulars but it seemed that the sandbags wouldn't detonate the weapon early enough or at all and the propellant would push the warhead through the sandbags (which wherent usually fashioned on all that tightly) and let it detonate on the armor
the russians lashed mattresses to the sides and fronts of their tanks in their version of trying to improvise spaced armor
the mattress springs did detonate the weapons and in effect added 20 or so centimeters to the amount the rocket would have to pierce which reduced crew casualties (although the rocket's flame generally annealed the hardness of the frontal armor, requiring either a patch or leaving the tank to be picked for parts, but at least the crews had a higher chance of not beinged turned into Jell-o
