# Game version

My game version: (2.13.0.27)

# Platform

PC. Windows 10

 

# Description

TOW-2B missile unable to create penetrator when impacted on flat surfaces , due to penetrator spawning at the impact point

 

# Steps to reproduce the issue

1. use any vehicle with TOW-2B Missile ie (M3A3 Bradley , Dardo , VCC-80/30, CM25)

2. Fire missile TOW-2B at any flat armor surface ie Ferdinand frontal armor , JagdTiger frontal armor , Ho Ri frontal armor 

 

# Additional Information

Screenshots and explanation will be provided here.

When directly impacting armor plates the penetrator is unable to spawn at the impact point due to it being inside the armor.

penetrator disappears when impact occurs. 

Compared to another top attack missile Swedish BILL2 which display correct behavior.

Swedish BILL2 missile explodes at the same plate but will spawn the penetrator at the correct spacing(show in green ), so it wont disappear like TOW-2B

 

Both missile systems utilize similar spacing for their top attack warheads to work
