The "damaged" result represents two things to me: Either "partial
penetration" (ie, the shot penetrated but too little of its energy got
through to do serious damage), or full penetration but in a non-vital
area (blew off some of the targetting sensors, damaged the comm gear
etc). There is usually very few items in a combat vehicle that don't
contribute to the vehicle's performance though, so any internal damage -
even if it doesn't kill the vehicle - would reduce its performance in
some way.
