Germany (DM53A1, DM63, DM63A1, DM73, DM11, and in the future DM83)
US (M829A4)
Israel (M338, possibly M322 as well)
We already have 2 rounds in the game that shouldn’t be capable of exploding when hit (DM11 & M338), and we’re very likely to get a lot more down the road. The fact they couldn’t even be arsed to accept the suggestion for it is obnoxious if you ask me.
This is frustrating, I don’t care what I’m shooting at
I’m of the same opinion, but as I am mostly a top tier ground player, BVMs for me are the most notorious rulebreakers, hence why I haven’t mentioned lower tier vehicles pulling off those kind of stunts.
True, it kinda sucks those two rounds haven’t got correct modeling. I guess implementing this for just two rounds in the game was too much work for them, since I’m sure Gaijin have their priorities. I hope this changes with the addition of more modern tanks/ammo, it’s quite an interesting feature to have in the game.
I’ve also played fair bit of top tier, but at least from my experience, T-80Us are much more common to have this bug happening for them. I’ve also had German 2A4’s turret ammo disappear without any cookoff, same with one of the Abrams’ (iirc IPM1, it was quite a bit ago).
Lower tiers are kinda saved (for the most part) from frustrations regarding this bug, since APHE is very prevalent, which luckily masks ammo shenanigans.
Reason why Challenger 2 turret hasn’t gone sky high is it has unintentionally designed blow off panels in the form of the Commander’s 1+ ton roof structure (which have gone into orbit in both cases of Challenger 2s getting destroyed in combat).
I’d argue anyway the difference is rather semantic whether the turret gets launced 20m or 2 m.
That’s 69 degrees looking up at the tank.
T-72’s barrel is looking downward by 1 degree,
On top of that, it doesn’t account for trajectory of the round.
I am not saying M111 can or cannot penetrate T-72A, all I am saying is that the test is poor.
The main point of the post was that CR2 has a wet bin for charges, that instead of causing rapid explosions, causes charges to slowly cook off at first, and then after some time explosions happens, and even then it is weaker than what you would expect, due to some charges cooking off without exploding.
First of all wet ammo stowage doesn’t work except to slow down the lightest of fragments
Secondly, CR2 has no wet ammo stowage. Just 25mm thick armored bin walls
Crew survived because the vehicle was abandoned then later destroyed by an ATGM which made the vehicle explod
Even if you change to a 1 degree fall of shot so the impact angle is 67 degrees, it’s still nowhere near close to pentrating at 2000m, it can barely achieve it at 500m
while the nato bomb may be “cherry picked although its literally happens with every Russian tank I bombed” while I was in my kv 2 which has less armor than a leo 2a4 and had 1000lb bombs land right next to me and my tracks wouldn’t even brake I got bombed 3-5 times.
Probably because KV2 doesnt have weak areas like the place upper of tracks, where armour is little to nothing, while KV2 has 75mm everywhere, and both belly and roof are thick enough. Leo2A4 doesnt have that armour.
Played low-tier recently around the T-34 scourge? Ever noticed how the 85mm guns seemed to manage to perform waaaaaaaaaay above their peers thanks to the slope modifiers that Gaijin accidentally programmed in?
It’s not just the 85mm, it’s all Russian APBC. It was bug-reported years ago by Conraire before he became a tech mod. And it’s not an accident it’s “Working as intended”.
50% better Top SPAA then all other nations since more the a year
10km range SPAA on BR 10.7
the best ground SPAA @10.0 with IR missles
the only SPAA’s that can fire a missle until moving
a primium with optical guiding and approxy ammonition
most penetration in game (on the low BR of 10.0)
All important moifications (thermal, laserrangefinder) in the 2nd row
the best ATGM for ground vehicles (khrizantema)
the only vehicles that can shoot missles while moving
best IR Missles on planes
best Radar missles on planes
best Air to Ground Laser missles for planes
best ATG TV missles for planes
the best IR missles stock on the high tier planes
with 20pcs, the most ATG missles on a plane (SU25T and SU39)
the best ATG (and anti everything) missles with 10km range on helicopters
and
most broken ERA in game, that eats constantly APDFS shells (also from the side)
non exploding ammorack speecially on their T-80’s
non exploding fuel tanks
most untertiered vehicles on the 10.0 lineup
most modern and still not in service vehicles
with a russian plane u can fly home without a wing, with others u crash if a wing dip is damaged
with a heavily damaged russian heli u can still fight or fly home, with all others u crash
There are 10 nations in the game but it is so obvious that one nation receives more love and is systematically favored. I don’t know if there is a correlation, but since the war in Ukraine, it has been getting worse and has taken on new dimensions.
Yeah anyone suggesting this game isn’t heavily skewed in favour of Russia has their head in the sand. It would be fine if it were just for gameplay reasons to make the game fun, but that isn’t the case.
