I was playing my striker when I died by a suspicious shot that shouldn’t have killed me. the game didnt even show me the kill cam so i checked the replay hit and I see this:
this is the shot that killed me
how? it didnt even do anything it just shrapnel’d at empty space
also this is the previous shot that bounced up and took out the launcher

Over pressure. Less consistent mechanic than the old hull break and way more op as it will just insta kill in a radius from the explosion
but the shot replay doesnt show that 😢
I’ve tried hitting the same spot on the striker with the 3BK7 multiple times, and turns out it doesn’t trigger overpressure every time. The further back the hit, the less probability it triggers overpressure. HEAT overpressure has been known to be very weird, might have some RNG stuff going on in the back.
Although if I replay the shot from the hit file, it never triggers overpressure no matter how many times I replay it. Overpressure is still the only explanation as to why that shot would’ve killed you; it might just be a bug with the replay mechanism. There are a couple bug reports about similar issues:

No - because the shot replay only shows projectile and fragments/spall.
that seems very unreal are you sure about that
You’ve seen it yourself, know that overpressure isn’t in the picture because you just said so, and show it in the picture …
