Someone penetrated me where it is impossible to. I will Put pictures in here and feel free to try it yourself. Tank that i used is the object 122. Player that killed me used the is4 with the shell that has the least pen.
But I also believe it’s possible where, say, a shell fails to penetrate, but its blast causes catastrophic detonation of exterior ammunition, which causes the place where the shell hit to appear as a pen hole after death.
That’s why I ask if it actually went through or just blew up your ATGM. If it actually went through then idk. Maybe just found some lucky pixel in the armour model
The only reliable thing about hits in War Thunder is their unreliability. Whenever I win or lose an engagement there’s always a “jank factor” that has caused me to both win and lose engagements. One time I nonpenned a Type 90 directly in the side with 3BM60.
Ohhh its a pretty random event game, all the boasts about realism do not really cut it. More than likely it is a fudge factor in the programming to try and keep the win rates at 50% or so in the bell curve.
So the answer is more than likely a bad game as bugs are just a symptom of a bad game and sloppy programming and poor quality control.
