I understand it. But your comparism was still a cherrípicked one where your shot was eaten by volumetric.
You care quoting any of my offensive lines towards you?
Also, you was insulting there, so that is a fact.
Even if we suppose it could, it would be modelled as strctural steel, likely with the thickness bellow 10mm. Since it is a cilinder, the shell goes in, and out in the other end. Let’s calculate 20mm (which is way over a realistic value), the effectiveness of structural steel is 0.45, so the effective RHA thickness is 9mm.
Let’s take a quick look at the video.
here is the last fram with the hit cam:
Spoiler
You can clearly see, that it impacts at the edge, where the upper side connects to the armor above the tracks. It is an overlapping plate, that causes issues with volumetric.
Looking at the minimap, we can see, that the Tiger is roughly 300m from him, with basically side on.
The upper side of the Tiger is 82mm, at a very small angle, so let’s assume a way higher than realistic 90mm effective thickness. At 300m, the Hellcat pens 139mm flat, but since the angle is so low, it takes no effect.
We can put the Tiger in the protection analysis, at the same angle against the same M62 shell at the estimated distance.
What do we got here?
A nice 300mm+ effective thickness at the area he shot the Tiger. And if my calculations are correct, 371 is just a big bigger than 139…
Now, even if the lamp post decreases the penetration, it is nowhere near enough to cause ~50mm penetration loss.
Again, at this angle and distance, let’s aim for the most armored part, which gives 90mm effective thickness:
The shell would not only pen at this distance, but even at 2km!
So a lamppost will not slow the shell down more, than the natural penetration and speed loss due to distance, even at 2km.
But hey, why don’t we test this out? One of us could bring a Tiger, and the other the Hellcat, and we could see what happens.
Now, your position gets even worse, when we take a look at the Tiger 2 clip, where there is nothing between the Hellcat, and the Tiger besides air, and the shell hits an equivivalent spot on the Tiger 2, and getting caught by volumetric.
See above.
Yeah, who brough up the lamppost?
First video is a perfect example of a type of ghost shells. Nothing to see there, happens to every single nation.
Second video is the same as the one i sent you where a Panther shrugs off a Katyusha.
Gaijin being incompetent.
Sorry if i shatter your russian bias/stalinium armor echochamber by pointing out your immense confirmation bias and lack of game knowldge.
Because:
1, your claims were debunked by evidence
2, i am not accepting a cope BS some players use because they can’t admit that they made a bad play.
All you guys would have to do is present a sufficient evidence on this.
It should only benefit russian vehicles, be consistently happening, reproducable with consistecy, and does not happen by bugs/glitches.
Please provide me any proof of these, and i will accept your claims.
Nah, that does not count, obviously! Only if it happens to russian vehicles!!!
You know, if we close our eyes when it happens to other nations, it means it never happens to them!
By a russian bias cryer.
