Underwater AFVs

While playing the Archepelago campaign scenario, I had enemy units drive off the bridge (yet not be destroyed) and end up underwater on their sides. Thinking they had been counted as destroyed I finished up with the mission. When I realized they were not being counted as destroyed, I drove one of my vehicles into the water (a 20mm AFV) and shot them till my ammo was exhausted (they seemed to hit and explode, but to no effect). What's with underwater fighing? Doesn't it make sense that disabled AFVs underwater be considered destroyed at the end of a scenario? Particularly when there appears to be no way to kill them underwater.

Also I've seen ATGMs being launched by underwater AFVs. Is this realistic? Ballistic rounds seem unable to penetrate water, even when the target AFV in only a few meters deep.

What are the rules governing being underwater (given that the AFVs seem to have that capability)?
