Hey, so I've ran the following test:
Bistan's U-wing basic ability "Opening Move" used against the same enemy target multiple times making sure there are no buffs or debuffs interfering with the damage numbers.
What I confirmed is that the attack does deal more damage (for both normal and critical hits) when Bistan's U-wing is Stealthed.
For it to be a valid test, the damage must be observed and averaged for normal and critical hits separately, the attack to be used against the same enemy target (so there wouldn't be any variations in the defense values) and making sure that there are no buffs or debuffs which might modify the damage or defense.
A video might help look into it further and analyze specific squad combinations, battles and buffs/debuffs to find out if there is a bug.
Thank you.

I couldn't get video files to upload here (not sure if it's supposed to accept videos or not), so I just put it on my YouTube channel.

The video clearly shows that defense penetration is increasing the damage of Bistan's U-Wing, and that he does less damage than expected when he doesn't have defense penetration up. Defense penetration should add nothing to an attack that ignores defense. That's why my logical conclusion is that it's not ignoring defense in the first place.

There are 4 attacks from Bistan U-Wing vs the Bigg's X-wing on this video. All 4 attacks are on Bistan's turn, while stealthed. 2 of them had Def Penetration, and 2 did not.
Two hits without DefPen: 32,686 & 31,801
Two hits WITH DefPen: 42,235 & 43,236
There's definitely something going on. Either "ignore defense" isn't setting the Armor/Resistance to 0 (thus letting DefPen reduce it even further), or DefPen can reduce A/R levels to negative values, further increasing damage.- CG_MindTricks7 years ago

Thanks for the video, looking in the backend at how Bistan's U-wing basic works as compared to Defense Penetration Up, there might be an issue. I've submitted a ticket for review with the game team now.
