Is it just me or the shells are ricocheting/bouncing off VERY strangely lately?? Ever since the last update they have been acting weird. If you don’t understand what I’m exactly talking about I will give you some examples of my and other people’s encounters:
1.IS-1 penning a 200mm(100mm+100mm) frontal plate of my Pz.Bef.WG.VI by bouncing it’s APHE shell between the two frontal 100mm plates (yeah somehow that works…) (Even the hit analytics say it shouldn’t have penned)
- T-34’s 75mm APHE bouncing off of my KW-II’s gun mantlet into the hull roof at a very slight angle (checked the hit analytics again, it shouldn’t have penned…)
3.Someone’s Object 268 got penned by a ostwind 2 frontally, the ostwinds ammo bounced off the driver’s hatch and ignored the mantlet armor, going thru and killing the whole crew.
- APFSDS bouncing off of the Marder A1’s upper front plate, dealing absolutely no damage
I could name more situations, but I don’t think it’s necessary for now.
I’m not sure if this is just a new “feature” Gaijin added, but I believe it’s most likely a bug and I hope it gets fixed soon because I don’t want to get my vechiles demolished again because someone’s shell bounced off and penned where it shouldn’t.
