For some reason IS 1 and IS 2 Tanks can survive alot of near and direct bomb hits
Last match i was standing behind an IS 1 in my Centurion. the bomb landet closer to the IS 1 but i died.

Its not just about this example its a problem that exist for a very long time now. Both the IS 1 and IS 2 can surcive so many near bomb hits even from 1500kg or 1000lbs bombs. while other more heavier armored tanks get killed. The Maus for example i can take out a Maus with a 1000lb bomb even if it lands a few meters away from it. But i have to hit IS 1 and IS 2 tanks directly otherwise they only have damage/destroyed tracks and barels
Remember the fact that your armour is thick. My Tiger E can withstand those bombs too with only track and gun damage

Ground clearance doing it’s job.

Yeah, it’s a bug with the heavies. Sometimes the amercian T34 does the same exact thing. It’ll catch a 1000lb bomb on it’s turret and shrug it off. Other times a 250lbs bomb will blow it to smithereens.

This happens sometimes with heavy tanks.
The IS-1 has over double the armor of Centurion on the sides.
Heavies just need large bombs used against specifically them.

Ive dropped 1000lbs bombs directly on Is tanks and they haven’t even lost a track when I’ve killed a maus with a 250lbs GP bomb.
the inconsistency in WT is annoying ASF
