IS-6 destroyed infront by flak cannon random hit.
The question: how is that even possible? Need clarification.
For some reason i couldn’t find the exact vehicle in the protection analysis but here is an amunition with similar penetration values:
The IS-6 has some vulnerabilities around the turret ring.
The one that you showed in the video also explodes like a grenade after penetrating so does more internal damage.
You sir as its popularly called “got Gaijind”
APDS stands for Armour-Piercing Discarding Sabot and it’s not even the same.
It seems for me like a loosely made model on a $50 paid tank. Shame.
I’m fully aware that they are not the same ammunition, which i did mention, i just used it for the penetration value to show that penetration is possible there with the same penetration values as the 37mm APHE has.
If you believe something is wrong then find sources for your claim and file a report for it. You can bug report it here (just search a bit first so that you don’t report something that is already reported and known about): (Gaijin.net // Issues)

Do you remember the latency you were playing with at that moment? just a couple of days ago i had a similar (no autocannon though) occurence. Having NA servers turned on because of finding matches for naval ec quicker over the weekend where ping doesnt matter together with my local EU servers i forgot to switch them off. And got almost instantly punished while playing ground.
I got penned in my T-29 while angled at something like 40 to 45 degrees straight through the upper front plate and oneshot by a panther a (or g) with its aphe round. After checking in armor viewer that should produce something like 330 to 360 mm of armor equivalent and theres absolutely 0 chances for the panthers aphe to go through your thickest armored area of the tank thats further more angled at 40 degrees sideways. Checking bottom left i realized i was playing with more than 100 ms latency probably on us servers (30 to 40 ms are normal on the eu servers) and that i should have switched us server queueing off. For my part that death was clearly attributed to the ping more than anything. theres no overlapping plates or volumetric bimbam going on at the t29s ufp and despite the mg port (which the shot impact was far away from) theres nothing that ever produced anything similar in that area of the tank for me. Funnily enough the post game damage simulation of all received and dealt shells showed the round impacting and nonpenning the ufp. While in game -even with the panthers quite low tnt filler- that was clearly not the case because i got literally evaporated.
Now I’m not saying that thats something that should be normal, because im sure it sucks for people playing from plces where they usually have much higher ping, its just that what happened in my case is most likely caused by local to server to local interaction and the server still registering the shell when it actually should have already impacted and nonpenned the armor. And something similar might have happened to you.
He plays is-6, he inflicted God’s wrath upon himself.
I like how the 122mm APC ricochet from the armor.
Probably happeneds once every 100 shots 😂
I’m aware of the bugs, flawed gameplay mechanics, and hidden nerfs, thank you. We all know how many flaws there are in this still-raw “free-to-play” game. Unobvious situations happen too often to be upset, but this is something out of the ordinary. It’s funny to learn that the gaijin developers, for some reason, believes that a heavy assault tank can be penetrated infront by random hit of an anti-aircraft gun bullet.
Well if it wasnt the ping then id say you just got gaijinned. Happens millions of times a day. I mean they also modelled it so one 35 mm API-T round into the cupola of a m48 instantly nukes the entire crew for years now. And the moment they tried to rework how the aphe nuke rounds work half the community went nuts instead of even testing it first. But maybe thats just me. Weird stuff happens in this game all the time. Not worth going mad about it. Acknowledge that gaijin doesnt care, so why should u?

Same. Weird things happen.
Can someone check what kind of armor does it have at the point of impact? I don’t have a model on my client, so I can’t check. Could the shell have ricocheted at all? Is stuff like “Three-caliber rule” or something here?
let’s go ! Stalium bias left the chat.
I am more concered about the 122mm shell bouncing off the panthers ufp
that is 100% True
gajin was gonna balance APHE rounds and everyone voted against it
this was the biggest mistake every this change should been implemented because it’s more realistic and would helped a lot of tanks but it was ruined :(
