Personally, I believe shields would be adjusted to compensate for these weak spots; more protection over where there is no armor.
Of course, shielding can have weak spots as well, but I don't think shields and armor would have the same weaknesses, aside from simple directional weaknesses such as actual tanks being tough in the front and (relatively) weak in the back. There have to be reasons for the decision to make those spots weak though for example you can't exactly shield an engine exhaust port because the shields would have to fight the exhaust and incoming fire. This could go into the new modules designed to help protect weak spots as well. For example you armor up the tank's radiator; its now immune to small arms fire but because of weaker heat venting it cannot punch its systems to full speed as easily making it slower and more vulnerable to AV fire.
Not against it.... I feel any way of making vehicle more vulnerable and skill based...not to mention enjoyable is wonderful....however I want my ability to freely and accurately engage infantry..... or atleast for that capacity to be better if this is going to be the case...... in all honesty all I want is a single skill shot HE main gun with good AoE so my HAV feels like it actually is carrying some serious fire power.

If they existed.....

I want to hear the reloader shoving another shell into that barrel, I want a sense of REAL POWER. Kinda like this.I also want a coaxial turret (a turret that is always parallel to the main turret). See image.
I want a swarm of angry bee's hum as I blap slave tanks not a microwave turning on.....

I wouldn't mind having differing armour values depending on where I am hit.
E,g-
Frontal Armour- 10% Damage Resistance
Side Armour- 0% modifications to -10% Damage Resistance
Rear Armour- On top of the vulnerable spot a standard -25 Damage Resistance
Treads and Hull- -25% Damage Resistance
So hunting tanks requires AV to think on their toes and focus on HAV weak spots for critical damage, while HAV have to conside how the enter and exit and engagement and can tactically use their frontal armour as a shield of sorts.

It would be cool if AV attacks were living marks on vehicles hull - if HAV would survive encounter of cures he would regenerate his shield, armor to 100% but if someone would approached HAV close enough to use his non-AV weapon as leverage to pull out previously damaged part by AV attack. It could reveal the new HAV weak spot thereby reducing the resistance of the place by some -% number.
Seems a bit too complex for me.
I'm a tanker I like simply thinks like crushing skulls under my treads......
