I don’t think it’s a form of protection for noobs. I believe the answer is much simpler: the game’s penetration and damage model is absolute garbage—the worst ever seen. The devs have absolutely no interest in fixing this issue because, firstly, fixing it doesn’t generate immediate profit (it’s not a premium vehicle), and secondly, it introduces randomness that helps avoid upsetting less skilled players.
Look at the bright side of all this. You don’t have to worry about the kill rate, since it’s manipulated to a greater or lesser extent.
