Shells ignoring armor bug is back but worse

Similar to the bug a few months ago shells can ignore armor if you move while getting shot at. I have seen people talk about how happens with autocannons but not full caliber shells.

Text copied from the bug report:

Every type of ammo no matter the penetration can go through even the thickest armor plates if the tank that’s being shot at is moving at all. In the videos below the AMX-50 Foch which has a line of sight thickness of over 300mm got penetrated straight through the front plate by The T32 (APHE ~220mm pen), T92 (HEAT ~250mm pen) and Flakpanzer 341 (APHE ~80mm pen). This is similar to the bug a few months ago that had shells ignore armor when the tank was driving forward but it’s not the same thing.

In my experience this one happens less with autocannons compared to main gun rounds and is a bigger problem. SPAA could always just spam their way into your cupola (should be changed too) but now everything else can ignore your armor too.

Here is one passed to devs:

That’s good but it’s mainly talking about autocannons, the videos I posted have it happening with 90mm APHE and HEAT too.

If it’s still the same bug in the coding then it doesn’t really matter what type of canon/caliber it is :P

There’s still a difference in only APHE/API ignoring armor and (almost) every round ignoring armor. I’ve seen people try to blame this on 35mm SPAA being bugged for a week but now it starts happening to other rounds too and the devs should know as much as possible to have this fixed.
