Do I need to file a bug report for this? happened to mine too like it’s unreal this happened twice yesterday and even other people getting pop’ from the front lol
inb4 this is perfectly normal bro russina mbt has no armor, they are glass cannon hehe
You can kill frontally by striking the drivers optics, it will usually killing the driver and set off the fuel tanks next to him, I’ve done it a few times myself
The Gunners optic on the T-64, T-72, and to a lesser extent T-80, has only ~30-70mm of armour across the bottom half. It’s small and mostly impractical to go for, unless you have a gun with extremely high fire rate like the Gepard + friends and APHE to create splash damage, then it becomes a fairly consistent killshot. In the second clip for example, the player was fine right until they turned towards the Gepard.
I hadn’t been killed like this for years and suddenly twice in the same day and then coincidentally other players also noticed something is off. Not too long ago one update actually mess up the autocannons where they would overpressure anything that drive towards the shooter and completely ignore the armor value.
