Bug with exterior fuel tanks

Somehow when my fuel catches on fire and burns out as it should, sometimes it burns the ammunition with it?

They are classified as exterior fuel tanks and in its description, “If they are hit and catch fire, the fire doesn’t damage the tank’s internal modules or the crew and burns out on its own after some time.”

So i do not know if the fire is seeping into the hull or the fuel is genuinely just bugging?

Please explain.

2s38 frontal external fuel tank has huge chance to kill whole tank when hit even tho game clearly states its external fuel tank. Russian bias I guess

That doesn’t look like a fuel fire, that is the ammunition being set on fire.

I also recommend looking at the server replay when there is something you think is odd, sometimes the client doesn’t show correctly what actually happened.

If you’ve actually found something you think is a bug then you can bug report it here (just search a bit first so that you don’t report something that is already reported and known about): (Gaijin.net // Issues)
