You add +1 to the damage table roll for any shot that penetrates to do
damage for the REST OF THE GAME. This means that is you get a
penetrating shot for a given location you add the bonus to all shots
that penetrate the same location from that moment on.

It does matter is has to be the EXACT spot the first penetrating shot
occured, this represents a weak spot at that location. Shots affecting a
similar part of the titan, but different location do not get a bonus
unless previously penetrated.

Yes, correct the same rules apply.
