Since the last update I’ve noticed Maus is missing almost all the internal 20mm plates from the damage model/x-ray.
Why do I think this is a bug/mistake?

  1. The internal fuel tanks are still labeled as “external”, meaning the 20mm plate that separated the fuel tanks form the driver and radio operator/machine gunner compartment should still be there
  2. There is no change (that I’m aware of might be wrong) in the update log about any change to the Maus damage model/x-ray view

Unless this is an forgotten change that was left out from the patch logs this needs to be fixed because it makes the tank way more vulnerable to being overpressured by smaller caliber HE (any 105mm HE and beyond can now overpressure Maus while before it required at least an well placed Russian 122mm HE to trigger overpressure).

To be fair, the 20mm internal bulkhead plates never worked, for some reason their real thickness used to be 0mm instead of 20mm of armor armor. I did a bug report on it months ago: Community Bug Reporting System

As you can see, the shell penetrates the side armor, penetrates the 20mm (real value 0mm) internal bulkhead plate and after detonating the shrapnel penetrates the bulkhead plate on the right side (looking from the front). All this before the patch when the Maus had it’s 20mm bulkhead plates. See this issue report for more information: Community Bug Reporting System
