Yeah, now I see, extreme angle + plates below around 50mm and results get kinda ridiculous.
It seems vs T-34E the problem is, Gaijin treats this as 2 plates, for normal shells - it doesn’t matter. But for APBC - when plate is overmatched (85 vs 50 it already haplens, a s here we have 85 vs 15 and 45) it basicslly stops working like it’s angled.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s some kind of hidden mechanical glitch they gave this type of bullet. It would be like the stupid mechanic they gave the initial APCR and APDS rounds, which should fragment upon impact with spacer armor of a certain thickness and spacing, but in the game, an IS3 stop the Conqueror’s APDS round because it has a track in the hull front.
