BTR-82AT spall liner causing spall instead of consuming it

Short and sweet, the Spall liner in the BTR-82AT is creating spall instead of eating spall. This happens consistently. I was wondering why I kept getting hit one time and dying even to very bad shots. Then I recorded a kill cam and found the spall liner to be doing the opposite of what it should be. Even the armor viewer recreates the extra spalling, I matter the angle, it causes more spall.

Does it happen in the pen simulator too??

Yes

Then you have means to submit a bug report and wait about a year before its fixed!

Spall liners only prevent the secondary spall cone. The Primary spall cone is unaffected.

It’s like a 2 year old nerf lmao

I already did make a post for them to look into it

every spall liner does that for exactly this reason:

That doesn’t even make sense.

I can see in some of them, the fact that it is going through objects in the tank before reaching the crew and causing more spall, but the spall liner doing nothing is just odd…

the spall liner isnt doing nothing

it eats the spall produced from the dart going through the hull

Not in WT, especially not in the btr80at. Watch the clip again, little to no spall was stopped. Then one piece of spall of course hits my atgm

are you not reading?

THAT IS HOW THEY WORK IN WT

this has nothing to do with the BTR

I didn’t read? What was the first thing I replied with? “Not in WT”

yes you didnt because your statment is fundamentally wrong, from you not understanding how the spall liners work ingame

That’s literally how they work in WT lmao???

Hell heres a 2 year old reddit post about how they work

(Thanks @SPANISH_AVENGER)

It’s been like this for years

Spall liners tighten the cone, not remove it lmao

(Which is inline with reality)

example with the Type 24

Spall liner tight cone

No Spall liner wide cone

You and him are literally putting words in my mouth.

I said that’s how it is in wt.

Irl, it is surely more effective than that.

Bottom line is, and even in the post you linked in reddit, there is too much spall, as if the spall liner didn’t do a thing.

Spall liner caused 0 spalling according to your video:
