Hello. For a long time i was thinking that gaijin is modeling vehicles and ammo based on real documents and measurements, but i was mistaken.
Recently i made a bug report about ww2 20mm ammo is 40% less powerfull compare to test done by British military Community Bug Reporting System
And i asked gaijin to update penetration values so they reflect ammo in real life.
But my request was immidiately closed. Gaijin is useing somekind of of formula (jacob de marre) where they are just guessing what the penetration might be.
I am extremly disappointed. War thunder have nothing to do with real historical vehicles and ammo as they are claiming, is just pure fantasy…
Also i have an improvement for penetration. In real life By shooting at the same spot, the steel will have deep dent which will be deeper with every shoot, this will make the steel plate weaker and eventualy get penetrated. In war thunder you can shoot at the same spot infinite times and steel plate will be without scratch. Here is a vidoe how steel plate is getting weaker by every shot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vH_WQBnko5w
