Anyone devs or gamemaster can tell me about volumetric armor? volumetric armor exsist only on soviet tanks? Because USA tanks dont have VOLUMETRIC armor. Can you tell me why? And why HIT ANALYSIS is broken? and you cant trust this function?
Volumetric armour is being added to vehicles slowly ever since it was first introduced so not all tanks have it.
Have you heard of t58
I am equally curious, is there any good video explanation of how volumetric works?
Just play with russian imortal KV-1 ZIS and you understand how volumetirc works. No, play with any russian tank and you understand how volumetric and stalinium armor works.
USA tanks have pixel paper armos
GUN shield pixel paper armor
And more more more
Volumetric armor [weaker than non-volumetric armor] exists on many tanks across all tech trees.
It takes time for tanks with cast armor to be switched over.
never heard of T58 I see
It’s pretty simple. none volumetric only calculates the protection at the pixel where the point of the shell hits (or to put it another way every shell is only 1 pixel in diameter).
Volumetric also factors in the diameter of the shell, so if shooting at the turret ring on a Tiger 1 larger rounds now impact and catch between the hull and gumshield so it becomes far harder to hit that weak spot with a larger round.
You can test it yourself in the hanger, try to shoot through the front turret ring of a tiger 1 with an IS-2s 122mm and then with a T-34-57s 57mm and you will see the difference in how much more the 57mm makes it through vs the 122mm.
