Well, something like a modern sabot hitting, say, a M113 without dismounts might not indeed inflict much damage in some cases.
It could penetrate and exit without hitting anything vital (engine, transmission, crew etc), generating relatively little spalling due to thin armor, overpressure mitigated by open hatches etc. You get the idea.

Does the game simulate this? Because I havent seen Sabot rounds having any difficulty in knocking out light armor.

I depends on how you define "difficulty". My experience is that they can survive, if with some damage, the odd sabot every now and then even.
