A SMALL round penetrating will not have a large spalling effect -especially if we talk about rounds, that lost most of their energy for penetrating, which will be the case for most aircraft fired rounds. And a SMALL round, that lost lots of energy is not going to bounce around inside the tank a lot.

Yes, but you need LARGE rounds for that (~75mm+ -and then even HE rounds can destroy tanks), a .50cal is not going to cause spalling. And tracks, I doubt that even large rounds could damage most tank tracks - if not by fluke hits at the connecting bolt heads.
