Russian ammo carousel doesn't explode from engine fire but turret stowed ammo in NATO tanks detonates

I am not here to teach you about the game. I am here to raise awareness of an issue ingame that effects a tank which I would like to enjoy playing.

This thread is not here for your edification. You have the tools necessary to learn, your unwillingness to do so is not my problem to resolve.

Don’t you love it when russian bias cryers mass flag the evidence that prove them wrong?

Yes, when the crew dies the tank explodes.

This was shown multiple times previously and is acknowledged by all parties involved.

We’re not talking about the crew burning to death. We’re talking about ammo cooking off. This happens in the Abrams series tanks, it is not modeled for tanks carrying the ammo carousel.

message clearly states AMMUNITION EXPLODED not crew knocked down which is when you die from fire

You can see via the xray that the ammo is not taking any damage from the fire while the crew’s vitality is draining.

He is just coping.

The crew did not take enough damage for them to die…

Yet the tank died from the crew dying. Wild how that works.

Not true bruh.
In the other hand Russian and Japanese tanks die from random fuel explosions even when they hit non critical components. It happened a lot of times to me. If you hit fuel behind ammo carousel or around driver you have decent chance to detonate entire tank.

So the crew went from being somewhat OK to dying in an instant, before even getting red?

Internal fuel tanks have a % chance to kill the crew.

That’s Gaijin’s intentional coding, the Leclercs suffer the same problems.

Diesel shouldn’t explode, no. Yet here we are.

The larger problem is those same fuel tanks are treated as spall liners causing a secondary layer of armor which may or may not one shot you. Very frustrating modeling for both the person shooting you and you being shot. Truly a Gaijin special.

The crew died from the fire. Once there are no crew members left or the crew is reduced to 1 the tank is destroyed.

Not a high explosive, but basically a low explosive. Burning fuel covering a human body is not a healthy thing you know…

Liquids can stop low energy fragments that are in a shape that they have high drag? Strange, innit?

1, how did they die, when they were not even red (except in 1 case, where the crew member injured from the initial shot).
2, how was it crew death when the tank visually exploded, and had the message “ammunition exploded”?

there was even an ammo burn explosion in the video shown

Nono! That was the fart gas inside the crew members exploding!

You could literally see ammo cooking in the video. Just because kill cam didnt show it, it doesnt mean it didnt happen.
