I played a couple of matches today for the first time in about a month and noticed that a lot of shots that should of penetrated were failing to. As if everything either got 50-100 mm of more armor, or shells losing 50-100 mm of penetration.
For example I was playing my M6A1 / T1E1 / T1E1 90 and they kept bouncing shells from Tiger I and Panthers at 200-500 meters away despite fact that their shells were hitting my front armor straight on with no angle. Which usually like never happens since the M6A1 / T1E1 100 mm of armor is super weak, and no way should it be able to block a Tiger 1’s 151 mm penetration at 500 meters, and Panther’s 173 mm of penetration.
And vice versa My 76 mm gun, and 90 mm gun were failing to penetrate the Tiger 1 frontal armor when hitting the flat part of the chassis even when it was not angled. And was failing to penetrate the weaks spots on the Panther turrets. And was failing to penetrate Panzer IV and VK 3002.
Like there is no way Panzer IV should be able to block M82 APCBC from the 90m T7 gun right? 182 mm of pen vs of un-angled 80 mm of frontal armor?
