To Shoot or Not To Shoot

Game Discussion Arcade Battle

Guys,
I just finished a GF match in North Holland, in which a few players could shoot their main tank gun through buildings and hit their target. I for one could not do this. I was in tier 5, BR 7.0. Does this map allow this, or did I and my mates stumble onto dishonest players?

Maybe they used ap or apds and you used aphe?

3

I mean you can destroy buildings by shooting them, but was the building destroyed or were they just able to shoot through them while they remained intact?

4

Is this through the death animation or client-side replay?

Depends on the building - light wooden buildings can be shot through IIRC, brick and stone ones not - unless through windows and doors, which do sometimes line up

Brick can be shot through. i got killed through a solid brick wall with apds on advance to the Rhine 2 days ago.

ive been wallbanged through map terrain and undestroyable buildings enough times to know that this is just a problem with war thunder. shooting through buildings generally isn’t possible even if a prop is meant to be able to be shot through

Please provide link to server replay with timestamp info

Easy quick example for people that think every second person is a cheater :)

Usually not as bad as people make it out to be.

Sorry, I tried to copy the replay link, but I get an error when I click the link.

I tried to shoot a pzh2000 through a destructible building with obj120 152mm dart yesterday, and all it did was bring the building down and gave him a free kill on me while i was reloading. He probably thought I was mad (I was).

You can do this, but its a gamble and you need to know what objects it is possible on.
