Yes indeed - many different ways it can go. The result also depends on what the tank is doing at the time it is attacked. In a tank battle it may be sufficient just to concuss the crew or disable the driver or the commander or force the crew to bail out. Just forcing the tank to halt may allow opposing artillery to zero in on it and destroy it. 'Luck' plays a part too. A lucky impact may dismount or jam the turret, or dislodge a track or whatever. The main point is bringing the machine to a full stop.

Contrary to heroic myths, most crews would bail out if their tank was hit in this way.
