SoaB = find weakness. But the weak spot isn't always unprotected, so armor still applies.
Knowing where the weak spot of an enemy's armor is doesn't mean you can punch trough it. Extreme example: just because you know where a tank's weakest spot is doesn't make it vulnerable to a handgun.
Besides, the simple "reduces DR" approach is, as you already noticed, quite useless (and boring) because it's basically the same as SoaB etc. And it'll get worse once the new version comes out :p
The only interesting approach to the whole armor piercing topic would be to increase the minimum damage.

The tank's weakest spot is it's crew, and they ARE vulnerable to a handgun ;)
Because you know, that a chainmail is not covered under arms you know it would be better to strike there instead of fx into the chest. And this DOES make it more vulnerable to hits ;)
TFoN:
I think DaEezT's point is that the crew may be vulnerable to bullets, but that doesn't mean you can reach it with them, and I think I understand the logic in his explanation, though I'm not sure it's the only way to think about it. Anyway, I'm not up to discussing that today :)

I think the example with the tank was bad. Me talking about the crew which was a quick spot was a joke. Pizzas were hot dogs.

Joke or not, I lost you man 8)
