just armor being goofy. goes for all tanks.

yeah it isnt exactly rare this was just smth which rlly annoyed me cos its almost like he had plot armour

Funny angles I guess?

shot replay is based on client side so can be quite prone to desync and ping problems affecting it, might be worth trying to look at the server replay to see where those shots actually went

this is pretty much what happened in game

Happens to me too, it’s just Russian Bias 👀

T-series tank, not surprised

1st one is barrel moment.
2nd one is tracks moment.

Both of those situations are why I avoid both barrels & tracks on all vehicles in the game.

From your point of view yes, but client side information can be wrong at times due to de-synk/netcode/lag. So what you see on your screen (and what the hit analysis saves) might not actually be what happened. It’s always best to check the server replay for cases like these to confirm what actually happened.

Simply put, the game decided you couldn’t kill that player. This is something that didn’t happen 9 years ago, but now it happens constantly in matches.

Barrel damage has been totally broken for a while now, used to be that it at least goes red but now most shells bounce on it and disappear instead of shredding the barrel

no 9 years ago you wouldve just ghost shelled instead

There is something seriously wrong with this game and I suspect its on purpose/ scripted

I struggle with the Chryslers shells. Last night Im like 6 kills deep. Everyones getting 1 popped. I make it to the enemy spawn and not only have my shells been boosted I take shot after shot from 2 tanks- tanks disabled after a few shots but this isnt normal. There no such thing as luck

there is such a thing as random chance though, and sometimes it favours you and sometimes it doesnt

Yes, it’s clear it had its problems, but now we have those penetrations that don’t cause damage, and ghost bullets are still in the game, and in my opinion even more so than 9 years ago, since they happen to me much more frequently than back then.

compared to 9 years ago? they may as well not exist anymore unless you have really horrific wifi

are you sure you just dont remember most of them from 9 years ago considering how commonplace they were? because my experience is vastly different

Well, to be honest, nine years ago I barely noticed phantom shots, to the point that I didn’t even say anything when I read complaints on the forum. But now I’m experiencing it much more.
I’ve always had an average ping of between 50 and 70 (except on non-European servers), but what I have experienced a lot over all these years, and which has increased even more now, is the situation where another player and I shoot at the same time; he kills me, but my bullet disappears and does nothing to him.

It is just how bad the game is with the ping/lag/optimisation triangle. As it even says in the blurb and as one of the game masters has already posted what you see is not what is actually happening or what the server is seeing.
So really it is just a child’s shoot em up of luck, very very rarely will everything mesh so it is actually a true representation of what is actually happening and may faintly resemble skill on the part of a player.
It is not a very satisfying or enjoyable gaming experience, but it is intentionally made that way to try and frustrate and annoy players into spending their very hard earned money.
