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.
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.

If you noticed this too please say so on the bug report site so this gets recognized.
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.
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.
Had a flakpanzer kill my T32 through the turret, i respawned, then he killed my T95 through the front plate. I quit after that. Not worth playing if armor calculations are that borked
It doesnt appear to affect regular HE/HEI shells
I do admit that I have not tested it with HEAT or solid shot rounds, so it may very well be possible that those are also affected (with solid shot being more unlikely.)
