Hey guys, I have one question about the rules for penetrating hits:

If lets say a Rhino suffers 3 penetrating hits from a squad shooting at it, what is the correct procedure?
If I am looking at the rules they say that after the hp are taken off, the rolls for the results are made. However if a vehicle loses all hp, it is immediately wrecked. Does that mean, that in this case a damage roll isnt necessary, or more precise, not even permitted?

That would mean that a Rhino has a chance to explode from one penetrating hit, but never will explode from 3 penetrating hits, but will be wrecked instead. Sounds weird to me, and I never saw it played like that, but thats how I read the written rules. What do you think?

It states you roll for all the results even if it would be wrecked due to hull point loss. Specifically so that the chance of an explosion remains.

The penetrating hits table is in addition to the deduction of hull points.

The rules actually cover this quite clearly, p74:
"You must roll on the Vehicle Damage table
even if the vehicle loses sufficient Hull Points to be Wrecked,
as there is still a chance that it Explodes!"

omg, I totally overlooked that. Thanks for the fast reply.
