Yea my wording probably could have been better. I just kept seeing talk about HEAT and HESH rounds causing big explosions but nothing really on the APFSDS rounds.
Are you sure that is modeled in game? Since when, I don’t remember this.
ever since i started playing ground it was a thing (iam not a long time ground player), the thing is just that it is an increadibly rare occurance for someone to hit your ammo while you are reloading, in a way where it wouldnt breach the blast doors
Don’t remember that being a thing either tbh
Its realistic that you can put down that Fire? For the video i have see. That thing burn forever. Even dmg the engine in some case.
the timer you see isnt to put out that fire, that timer shows for how much longer the ammo will be burning and you cant do anything about it during that time
the update only made you conscious now
The idea that blow out panels are meant for fire not an explosion is some hoops of logic. When ammo is hit it will first detonate. This Explosion will then knock off the blowout panels directing the blast up and away from the crew.
The idea that HEAT shells. (Which point to the rear of the turret) will cause the doors to fail is nothing but an unsubstantiated myth.

Do you have footage of being hit and exploding during reload?
Even moreso the fact that NATO ammunition is functionally impossible to actually detonate, you need to directly contact the firing train of a round to cause it to properly detonate which is nearly impossible.
Meanwhile Russian ammo is at or below STANAG 1 rating meaning it goes off like a bomb if it so much as gets touched by a projectile.
This is why they decided to focus on blowout panels for all NATO tanks instead of the hundreds of bug and accuracy reports for the new problems created by the patch.
Can’t have RU weakness that western nations don’t have :D
This impacts T-90M’s externally mounted ammo as well.
TL;DR: Just bring APFSDS if you’re worried.
If you bring 9 rounds of proxy fuse ammo, you’re fine.
I am actively looking for source material that proves HE rounds utilize blow out panels, but so far I haven’t found anything concrete.
A lot of documents that potentially imply that though.
The second post of this thread
On the video, around 6:20, is that the second ammo storage (the one with on in the hull)?
some, not all…
I think it’s because this dart penetrated the side that’s facing the crew compartment.
That’s also where the fireball from the replay started.
I highly doubt Gaijin would make a “yeah blowout pannels don’t work when reloading” mechanic. 2015 Gaijin maybe, 2025 Gaijin nah they don’t even bother to make Turm III correct. I also remember losing all ammo in my Leclerc halfway during a reload.

I find it crazy how they will continue to push this Lie.
Continuing the discussion from Blowout panels:
Contrary to what the US gov says.
Bug reporters should also not be allowed to C&P messages. While I understand the volume of what they do. When my bug report has nothing to do with AI tanks I don't think that being in an answer is appropriate and is nothing but a lazy cop-out
No where in my Bug report was a Leopard test drive. All this creates is Bug reporters who don’t view the information of the report and falsely close reports on their mood.
Leopard 2’s test drive was relevant to my bug report.
That post being copy-pasted is appreciated.
They also aren’t lying, they’re being honest with the information they think they have.
I think that information is wrong, but I cannot fully prove it.
You can’t think you have information. You have it or you don’t. They manufactured its limitation and they should explain it as so and not as some false fact.
While you might appreciate it I do not and it further gets in the way bug reports that may be similar but have different information.
