Puma VJTF

i was shot by a medium tank and it hit the top of my ircm while the rest of my tank was under/behind the hill how did I get damaged like this from 1 shell?
i would think i was lucky but this has happened to me for the past 10 games in a row now and i dont know anymore

A piece of shrapnel hit the ready ammo in your turret, the turret is made of thin aluminum so even 7.62 and arty shrapnel can go through it and blow the ready ammo.

Or youre getting shot with HE

Have had some dumb chit happened to me too

Careful with HE rounds, they might be useless against heavy armoured vehicles but against light vehicles/spaa, they can hit much harder as they basically explode after hitting you. I once killed a Puma that was only showing his top. HE tend to be slower so if you see the round, move away. Of course there’s sometimes hits that do not seem to follow common sense.
