Pershing-II, IIRC, was supposed to have had such a penetrator warhead for taking out hardened targets like command bunkers; which explains the low yield for the penetrator: 15 KT.
Warhead inaccuracy would explain how certain targets that should've been hit were not: several SAC bases are missing from the target list in canon. Such as: Beale, Mather, Castle, Whiteman, Plattsburgh, and McConnell. Then the sub bases at Bangor and King's Bay, the Alternate National Military Command Center at Raven Rock (Site R), Mount Weather, and so on. Whiteman in particular as not only is it a Minuteman-II base, but is also the home for the 509th BW and their B-2s.
