As a GM, I believe it's vital to keep players in the dark about exactly what the result of their hit upon the enemy vehicle is, describing only the obvious effects.
A single .50 cal round may well be enough to take out a BTR (if it's REALLY lucky), but the observable result is likely to be exceptionally minimal - a spark of the armour as the round penetrates, perhaps a few moments later the vehicle coasting to a halt against an embankment.
On the other hand, a 120mm HEAT to the same BTR is going to be pretty damn obvious in it's effectiveness!
