From my experince I would say, they don't. I find there is a clear difference from a salvo of pila hitting a unit of Gaesatae from the front and a salvo of frameas doing the same. I do not know how the engine really calulates the AP bonus but it seems to be more than just 5:2 = 2.5 = 3. May be it is rounded down to 2?
