Lack of primary spalling for Leopard 2AV

For some reason, no primary spalling occurs on the left turret-side armour piece:


For reference, 2A4 with same round:

This happens on both turret sides. It can also happen on both UFP and LFP.
I tested multiple shells and problem persists. I was also unable to replicate this on a 2A4.

Shame this isn’t about some USSR vehicle, it would be a pretty fired up thread with conspiracy theorists claiming it’s a definite proof of Russian bias and that Gaijin is coding built in spall liners for their favored tanks.
Since this is non-USSR vehicle I doubt many people will care.

I think the lack of spalling from LFP is due to the fuel tank / ammo soaking up all the spall, which is the same problem with all other vehicles.

Indeed, but it’s still unknown why UFP and turret sides do this.

Seems to occur with the TTD as well:
