Replay: War Thunder - Replay - Timestamp 5:46 (my AMX shot) and 5:51 (his BMP shot)
The Incident
AMX-30 (Super) with 105mm APFSDS penetrated BMP-3 gun mantlet at 5:46. Hit destroyed the 100mm cannon breach but killed only 1 crew member.
BMP-3 responded at 5:51 with single 30mm APDS round. This killed 3 crew members (driver, gunner, commander) via spall damage.
The Problem
A 105mm APFSDS round that destroyed a major weapon system caused minimal internal spall. A 30mm APDS round caused catastrophic spall killing 3 crew.
If a 30mm round creates enough spall to instantly kill 3 people, a 105mm round penetrating the same vehicle should cause at least equivalent damage, if not more.
The Question
Is spall damage calculated differently based on vehicle nationality? Or is this a mechanical inconsistency that affects fair play?
