Abrams Instant Burn Down

I’m noticing that my M1A1 and M1A2 will often instantly “burn down” when hit in the engine. Was this introduced in the last patch or two or has it always been a thing? I don’t remember any other tanks with this limitation. Is this another artificial nerf that doesn’t exist?

I’m already getting killed through the upper and lower turret by 30mm SPAA magic ammo and instant killed by missiles/HE through the cupola (none of which affect Russian tanks). Another invented “weak point” makes the game feel less realistic every day.

Ive noticed this, i think its a desync between server and client. Basically you got one shot but client side it thinks it was just a crit hit, then the server updates the client and you ‘suddenly’ die when on the server you were dead the whole time.

I’m not sure that’s the case here though. I haven’t seen that on any other tank. It only happens on engine fires. You don’t have time to hit the extinguisher.
