Well, as I said "some cases". The likelyhood that the sabot could hit something vital, even on a relatively "empty" APC is not small however. The engine/transmission won't like a sabot going throught it, damages in the fuel circuit may lead to fires, crew/controls might be hit directly, various combinations of the previous etc.
It might not lead to instant fireworks but it could still count as destroyed for game purposes. Obviously there is also a lot of abstraction going into a game such as this.
