Hello, I have recently opened a bug report on the strange performance of the MZ autoloader and how it seems to absorb spall and prevent it from hitting the crew, the report can be found here: Community Bug Reporting System
The summary is that there appears to be, quite literally, a invisible plate that isn’t shown on the X-ray. Images below! Vehicle used for this example is the T-80UD/BE.
X-ray of T-80UD/BE with armor parts, autoloader and spall liner option checked
Forementioned "invisible plate" highlighted in purple, along with the shell enterance hole in green
Here is a compilation video of shell tests on different tanks: https://youtu.be/3mLE2z30w-8
Outside of that, I just wanted to open this thread to help create some discourse and draw attention to the bug report, that’s all!

Must be on Conqueror too…
Getting a screenshot of T-80 ammo surviving a 122mm APHE round is extremely difficult.
Oh wait, nvm… it just wasn’t close enough to the explosion.
This isn’t a dismissal of your hypothesis, it’s just not a great testing method.

I’m bumping this in light of the dev server.
I wish the armor viewer had a functionality where you could deselect indivdual plates so that we could see these internal plates that aren’t always shown in the x-ray.
