The answer is that impact versus armour is an open shift.

This was answered by Jon quite a while ago. I have SG2 errata on my web site.
For now you can find it at:

 http://home.att.net/~agoodall/sg2/sg2-errata.html

though this will change fairly soon. You can also find it by going to:
www.hyperbear.com

and navigating through from the top of my site.

To quote my site:

Page 6: A reference is made to open shifts with respect to Impact versus

Armour rolls on page 38. There is no mention of open shifts with respect

to Impact versus Armour rolls on that page (though page 38 is the section
detailing Impact versus Armour). A similar comment, however, is made on page
13. See Clarifications, below.

The official answer from John Tuffley is that impact versus
armour -- whether it be infantry or vehicles -- is an open shift, not a
closed shift.

I can't remember when Jon ruled that it was an open shift, but he did mention
it either here or on the playtest list.

I've always played that it was Open. IMO PA should be big and scary, as per
the open shift. I don't like the idea of PA behind a brick wall having the
same protection as D8 armour behind a brick wall.
