Fluted armour indeed adds rigidity and blunt force impact resistance. It's like using corrugated iron roofing as opposed to flat sheet metal. Makes little difference to penetration by sharp and/or fast moving projectiles, unless the valleys in the fluting are designed to guide any projectiles into glancing off. It's the hardness and thickness that counts then.
