I can't imagine a wrecking ball doing any penetrating hits on a T-72, but it would knock off ERA panels, external sensors, externally-mounted weapons; might even crush or derail roadwheels or bend the gun barrel. And anything loose inside would go flying; not enough to do fragmentation, but the effect of a fire extinguisher bottle falling on a leg or ankle should not be discounted. And of course, the repeated BONG! BONG! might be enough to make the crew bail out, in a very disorientated condition...
