That’s just that the game’s damage model is broken, and continually gives errors like that.
The damage model works worse and worse, but apparently the devs have decided not to fix it, eventually players get used to the errors and stop complaining.
From somebody that plays against abramses quite a lot this isn’t that much of an issue. This, as i’ve previously stated, happens once every 50 kills or even less, i had a clip of this happening in game but i apparently deleted it.
But i can confirm that it does happen in game too.
The spall is created, it just doesn’t hit anything important so it doesn’t show up on the protection analysis (hence appearing like no spall is generated)
This is wrong… Spall is shown even if it doesn’t hit any critical parts:
Is that with just the garage/hangar analysis though? I thought that at least the in-match one only showed when a module has been hit, the armor that the ZTZ99A hits on the opposite side of the VBC might be a module (I don’t remember, I haven’t looked at the xray of the VBC in a while).
let me see if i can test this.
It looks like it shows two kinds of spall, the colored one is the one that hits the critical parts (the ammo in this case) and the grey one is the one that just slams against the other side of the turret without hitting any particular parts:
I wonder if the grey spall would still show up if there wasn’t any red spall, but more or less the existence of grey spall leaves me with more questions lol.
Yeah…
