I’m not sure where to post this but after i made this thread Chieftain Mk 10 armor bugged i was curious if other tanks have this problem and they do
The same spots also work for 35mm NATO autocannons, APFSDS and other shells will struggle to penetrate or do minimal damage such as only taking out the breech
What are your thoughts on this? Is this working as intended?
Its the old overpressure bug/oversight, triggers for shells it really shouldn’t
So it’s an old known issue, cool
I bet 100% if it was a Russian vehicle which did this the forums would be up in flames from all the NATO mains crying
Bro the number of times I got killed by this thing… I literally nearly broke my table.
It’s a bug with the 35mm shells I think. The abrams has the same problem facing the geopard except to my experience it’s the top of the roof. I don’t think a 35mm is capable of over pressuring an mbt but it happens pretty consistently.
Hopefully it gets fixed.
Anything helpful to input or are you just trying to start another argument?

I got one shotted by a swedish gepard in my cupola while playing the chieftain mk 10,… if only spaa was this good against planes
It’s kinda funny because autocannons from IFVs such as the Bradley cannot do this
Spaggetti code moment. Unrelated but they also broke the nuke siren again. Sometimes it simply doesn’t play
I was merely making an accurate observation :)
I think its time to talk about the M247 again. I’m tired of how bugged out this SPAA is and has been for awhile now.
I like to play many nations and the only time a 247 (or even the 246) is acceptable is when its your team because you dont have to deal with the BS it creates.
So lets start with the ammo. It doesnt have significant pen but manages to actually pen or in some cases act like a mini 10kg HE shell and do significant damage to the internals of any tank on the receiving end. To further add, the 247s ammo is silent AND invisible. How the hell did this happen and why is it the only SPAA that has this bug at all??
All you will ever see is the muzzle flash. No warning signs. No tracer rounds. Just a sawed off wing. Compounding with the fact that somehow some planes in this BR range dont have RWR and its practically a jumpscare everytime youre flying a plane near one.
Both the 247 and 246 have their own bugs that need dealing with but Gaijin will not fix them because America will probably lose a major chunk of their W/L in the respective BR brackets. It’s that broken of a SPAA.
I’m so tired of dealing with these broken SPAAs and I know its such a tempting and easy way to get tank kills. I’m guilty of it myself too sometimes. But this AA seriously needs to be fixed. It’s ruining the BRs and most definitely skewing results. It should be seriously mentioned that there are random vehicle spawns now which include SPAAs so there is no longer a need for catering to new players when it’s been provided in a different way now.
I don’t understand how more people arent pissed off about the SPAA pandemic this game has. I get that a lot of newer players need something to bring out when they inevitably die but these SPAAs are pulling duel duties for a cheap ass SP cost. Bring some fixes already Gaijin. Make SPAAs actually perform their duties and stop giving even veteran players a scapegoat to abuse already broken mechanics.
