If you are playing Obj. 279, no need to reverse comrade.
Good ol’ “no step back” comes in clutch with this bug.
The big question here regarding this “bug” - does it matter if you or the opponent are reversing for it to happen? I saw people here talking extensively about it, but only observed it in my own case when a poor T95 was turning around to face me as I was hosing him down with my 341. Hitting the part moving away from me caused some rounds to clip through and instantly blow him up. I was stationary.
What I don’t know is whether it only cares about relative motion or specifically the guy being hit by shells reversing. If I were using an SPAAG and driving in reverse, would this shell bug still happen on a stationary opponent because they were “moving away from me” in a relative sense?
Aslong as the target is moving away (from the person firing at them), regardless of hull orientation - the bug can occur.
The movement of the person firing is irrelevant.

(Title is a bit misleading maybe - primarily because I had not yet tested whether hull orientation mattered when I submitted it)
I did add a disclaimed though, problem is that a lot of people that made vids about it, didnt bother including said disclaimer.

Nope they haven’t fixed it. Autocannons can pierce literally anything when a vehicle is reversing
I love this response, “Your information has been forwarded to the Developers for their consideration. If there is anything further regarding this report a Technical Moderator will contact you.”
Perfect summarization of gaijin, leaves an excuse for them to not actually fix the bug

How’s it going our big bro @Stona? Tony from LC signs ain’t gonna be proud of this man… One of Soviet most iconic tanks getting pop’d like this, it gonna hurt the sales for sure, $1600/pc at the point of this post hehe better hurry to push out an update
I think gaijin devs are actually dead bro, they haven’t been this bad ever
I believe they actually fail to fix the marking thought terrain bug, I’ll look into the code with data mine and see if chatgpt understands what is going on, it has help me modded the crap out of GTA and provide crash proof cleo codes so far

Well no, one of the things that makes 279 great is its ability to reverse up to -18KM/h. It leaves the T-series tanks in the dust, and can save you from many situations that T-series tanks can’t get out of.
Any bug messing with armour simply because you’re reversing - needs to be fixed ASAP.
I cant deal with the forums anymore bro, from gaijin being gaijin, to this whole Chinese scandal, and on top of all that alviswisla I just cant
There is no point to this anymore I swear, gaijin in my mind ceased to exist 3 years ago, just a bunch of skeletons and AI at this point. I gotta go to sleep before I go insane
Damn that TTS skill issue lol the entire hull of Object is green, unless he was using apds

Yeah, hence the title, lol. Boggles my mind that some people have got to where they have in this game without knowing how and where to shoot.
Mostly just inexperienced or something or half-asleep, if he penned something the first time but can’t kill it, one would actually look at the xray to see if there is surviving crews, simply spamming mg will also trigger the xray hack, that’s how we know where to shoot lol
How do you expect the bug to be fixed if it isn’t reported to the Dev’s??
