Russian IS and t44 Tanks wont die to bombs where other tanks would die

I can try to explain how bombs and HE projectiles work in this case.

Bombs and HE projectiles have their armor penetration, that are the same at any distance (most of the time).


So, if the armor value is higher than projectile penetration, it won’t do any serious damage to the target.

If the penetration is literally 1 mm higher than armor - it will go through. And since we have no armor durability, this is why no damage. This is how the game works, and i hope that this made it clear at least something.

Hours have nothing to do with skill.

Explosion is hitting some double armor somewhere on the damage model of the tank.

Hey Alvis ,what is your take on the damage model between diesel engines tanks in WW2 which are mostly Russian and everybody else on petrol.Is it modeled in the game?

They’re currently entirely parity with each other.
With diesel fuel tanks causing pressure explosions instead of standard fires, tho I’m unaware if the gasoline fuel tanks also have pressure explosions in WT.

Right now it’s largely parity, which from my understanding is at least mostly accurate to how real life fuel tanks react to being shot.

So much so that Russia today invented a way to prevent fuel tanks from exploding for their T-90Ms.

I’m thinking more WW2 with the Ruskies using diesel and even gaining protection from the fuel tanks as opposed to petrol which explodes.I just wondered if Gaijin ever modeled that to your knowledge and in answer to the OP.It is actually an historical advantage the Russian actually did have but is it in the game?

All fuel tanks explode, and all fuel tanks supply equal protection.

If you’re talking about T-34, its fuel tanks are external.
