A topic for all kinds of inconsistent damage that can't be explained by logic

Ok, so right now a SINGLE 90g Shvak shell with 6g of TNT equivalent can take a wingtip clean off. Damn, Type 99 Mk 2 shell can take tail off P-47 D28 with 1 shell.

Meanwhile 330g MK108 night-belt M-geschoss with 90g of TNT equivalent (should be more, but it’s Gaijin, so I’m happy it works):



Not only the wingtip remains attached - the aileron is still functional.
This is absolutely ridiculous.
Yes, the plane is dead because MG151/20 struck the pilot.
I have attached 3rd screenshot so you can see the shell hole in its entire glory.

Feel free to post your favourite weird damage. I’m not talking about “the shell failed to explode because Gaijin hates Japanese 30mm nowadays” type of thing. Just a regular - 50mm HE to the cockpit windshield, planes continue flying fine with minor damage type of stuff.
