Because there is talk of impenetrable containers in a locked thread, here are a few comments:
The so-called ISO containers that are built for transport on ships, lorries and railways and that can be shot through in the game, for example in the Cargo Port, are made of construction steel with a maximum Brinell hardness of 200, but often only 150, such as COR-TEN B steel.
Armour steel nowadays starts at 370 Brinell and goes far beyond that. Apart from that, the wall of a container is about 10 mm thick and that of a tank?
To assume that an ISO container is unpenetratable, especially from an APFSDS projectile, is simply naïve.

They are filled with concrete ;)
It’s by design AFAIK. Instead of concrete blocks here and there, you have containers that obstruct your line of sight/fire.
you can shoot through some of them, others you cant because of them being used to block los like stona said

2,44m concrete, ridiculous for APFSDS. BTW, only ammunition dealers are represented in the Cargo Port, if I remember correctly. Are they all just scammers who sell their customers concrete instead of lead and other ammunition?
I know, I have been a victim and a perpetrator of shooting through containers in high tier myself.
Blocking the line of sight does not mean that you cannot shoot through the sight obstruction and hit and destroy the target behind it.
On the other hand, on the same map you can’t penetrate a fence made of expanded metal with an armour piercing grenade, but with a burst of fire from a machine gun you can simply topple one of these fence panels… BigBang help!
Anyone who programmes something like this should watch fewer action films and spend a few hours at the shooting range where you don’t just shoot at paper targets.
By the way, the third person view also perverts the idea of blocking the view…
My 122mm APHE can’t shoot through cotainer however my ZSUx4 23mm can shoot through it like paper with APHE
There is corn too and wheat
oh yeah they only cant be shot through nears spawns afaik
