30mm APFSDS sound like MGs

I was just in a match at 10.0, where I was engaged by a BMP-2M whose 30mm APFSDS sounded much like a MG. I didn’t expect to be being attacked by a BMP as I had heard what sounded like a 7.62 or 12.7mm MG, not a 30mm. I recall watching a video on this subject however I cannot seem to find it on YouTube. In summary, the 30mm APFSDS rounds hitting tank armor and sounding like mg rounds can really confuse players and is a major bug in my opinion.

I noticed it too. Every time I hear those shots I turn around thinking it’s a mg but it’s a puma/2s38/bmp
