Troops don’t recover anything the only ones who will attempt to recover it are 91H Tracked Repair Men.
Yes, but first combat troops have to secure the area.
Why do people still engage with this guy…he’s just trolling you all
i doubt they will fix it… but yeah… would be nice
Yep. Although from stories seems like this isn’t always the case.
There are times when need comes first.
Dude you are mental. Its not an exploit. Its what the vehicles were like IRL. If they were impenetrable they would also go up in br as well to were everyone could frontally pen them. Cupolas keep several vehicles in check, so no not an exploit in the slightest.

To my knowledge the british stopped using cupolas in ww2 tanks for the fear of it being shot there.
Also you can look at the Tigers. They stopped using the factory chimney cupola, and replaced it with a smaller, rounded one.
Shooting cupolas is not a bug, nor an exploit.

Not a bug.
Not an exploit.
They knew where to shoot you.

He’s not referring to penning it, he’s referring to the fact that a stationary, zero-momentum spherical explosion happens immediately after penning it that conveniently hits the entire turret crew evenly, which did not happen IRL.
It would not be GOOD if it got penned IRL, and they armored them for a reason, but that reason is “so that your commander who was standing in the cupola doesn’t die, so that you don’t lose vision capabilities even if he wasn’t, and so that everyone doesn’t get disoriented and possibly bail out and run off” not “because it would insta vaporize the whole tank crew somehow from a 90 degree angle away”
You should lose your commander if he was standing in the cupola, in game. And that’s about it.

That was due to a bug where, if you hit a spot with multiple HE rounds within a given time, the tnt amount would stack. So if you hit a spot with a high rate of fire gun, they could stack overpressure. Example: you hit a spot on a tank with 50 rounds that have 10g of HE filler. The game would see it as 500g of HE. That was fixed a while back.
Wrong

Dude.
I have shot Tigers and Panthers in the cupola even with BR-412D, and it takes out only the turret crew.
Shells, like the 88mm Pzgr. WILL 1shot, because it triggers overpressure, which is a game mechanic.
Shooting cupolas is a completly valid thing to do.
Maybe learn to play and stop crying.

Which is cartoonish nonsense physics-wise. It should have taken out the commander, alone. Not “the whole turret crew”. Or nobody if the commander was already dead and you shot it again.

Bearing in mind the commanders head is inside that cupola I would say it’s a relevant target.

Eh, probably not always the case. But you mostly right so I concur.
I mean sure in some tanks there’s a guy lined up immediately behind the commander humping him basically, if so, they can both get killed reasonably. That would already happen automatically in game as the engine works now though if it was just a cone of spall like AP, instead of a sphere.
Also if it is a big derp gun IS-2 with like 350g of filler or whatever, then sure, it would rupture everyone’s organs. Just talking about normal guns.
Hmm smaller calibers probably could also kill crew in the cupola since either a 37 or a 47mm clearly pierced that Stuart tank given Tunisia probably the softer APHE shells from Italians
I think it’s just unreliable. I’ve had it happen to me very frequently, sometimes the cupola shot will one-hit-kill the T95, sometimes it will do zero damage (happened to me yesterday, but in the past as well).
That is comparable to the US standard issue hand grenade. I think if that blows up in the cupola, it will be a significant emotional event for the crew, to qoute the Chieftain.
