Every T-72 STILL has no damage model for their commander cupola

^this is a t-72a

^this is a t-72b3

^t-80u (for comparison)

Why are these not modeled in game? Got me really angry once i tried to hit them with HE only to be greeted with nothing.

here is a live example, the cupola is not a part of the damage model, only the commanders optics (?) are a part of it for some reason
you can test this yourself, the cupola is straight up AIR

you can still hit the roof with high caliber HE, it gets much worse with smaller calibers


i can record a video if you want, its quite a big problem in my opinion
also there are some weird trickery going on with optics in that very cupola

how is your reading comprehension doing? this topic is not about the t-90a, it has a fully modeled cupola
i am talking about t-72 which is a different family of tanks

holy shit man, admit you made a mistake and are wrong, he’s right the t-72 in game are missing a pretty important piece of their model.

Unless I’m missing something you can see that piece of the model in the armor viewer but it will only show up if you point at it during a top down view, it won’t show up on a side view as illustrated in the pics.

Bro keeps shooting the roof and says “yea idk im hitting the cupola”

idk why i got flagged, but the post is back up now
(ok maybe the part about ignoring the roof guy triggered the system)

Sry wasn’t saying clear enough, flagged that roof guy
