This map was obviously designed when the shoot through containers weren’t a thing. So when I spawned on the right southern spawn and got imediatelly shot by a camping wma301. I don’t think thats’s fair or good map design.
very sure APDS and APHE can do it.
Now you know these can be shot through
APDS i am prety sure, but APHE can’t. However, solid shot with enought pen can go throught them (think ARL 44 and similar gun)
The funnier part is, not all containers you can shoot through, it goes through some but others just stop it, so you need to learn that.
not sure but some cotainer have things inside making it harder to pentrate
i think some do but i ma not sure, we would need some clarification on that
I will test it later.

I did a quick test. APFSDS is able to pentrate through and AP-IT APDS is able to; however, HE things would not work. APHE dosen’t work either.

Small cotainers can be shooted easily with APHE as well basically the one that can be ram over still can’t let heat and HE pass through and those big metal box also work for APFSDS and APDS however not other ammunition.
Does it not depend on the APHE shell? I know that some have fuses with something like 19mm. If the walls are 1.x mm thick then it shouldn’t set them off right? Or has APHE been gaijined
you know they are like a millimetre of steel right? EVERYTHING should be going through.
if youre good enough to clip people through them, you deserve to do it
welp in logic yes… however not even Solid shot can go through it… it gaijin physics…

I don’t agree, what’s good about spawn camping? And if you can go through them, why are they around spawns? I don’t think that promotes fair game play.
They do - in at least some instances.
I’ve killed enemies with a Stug III G using the L48 cannon - PzGr 39 ammo - shooting through the streetcars on the Advance to The Rhine map.
Same with shooting through the trains on American desert.
My APFSDS can’t even go through a 15mm wooden doors on those houses
crappy map design shouldnt be “fixed” with unrealistic changes to ballistics. Put thick concrete walls in the way of spawn. but even that cant fix spawn camping as they will wait for people to filter out of the safe zones
you can shoot through shipping containers but some other things will stop even the most powerful dart in game even tho a rifle realistically would punch through. Gaijin is consistently inconsistent

But that’s exactly what I mean. If you change a mechanic and can indeed shoot through shipping containers, rework the map.
i dont see it as a problem gameplay wise. you can easily spot tanks over the containers from their radio aerials or exhaust smoke so it just rewards aware players. its soft cover no different to a bushline
the spawns are quite unprotected other than north left spawn but thats easily jusy fixed with more concrete and buildings.
