I deleated the .prf file already, no change. Any thing seem wrong with the results?

Thanks.

I don't know about the combat log, but it is not unusual to get a "through & through" shot. An AP round can go through the first hull so powerfully that it goes right through the other hull intact and if no critical system is hit in between, there is just no damage done.

Try shooting a truck with a rifle squad and watch how many times you need to get a "hit" before the truck ever gets damaged.
