War thunder suffers from computational limits. All projectiles are treated as a solid projectile regardless of what they hit. Realistically that APFSDS round should have fragmented to such a degree it would have never penetrated that angle. Gaijin can’t model that at all so it gets treated like a single monolithic projectile with no breakup. Even on ricochets it treats it like solid AP where in the hit cam it starts tumbling but in reality it’s still flying straight.
Weakening American tank armor has become a Gaijin specialty. If the M1 had the same un-penetrable ammo rack trait as the Type 90, it might affect how quickly American players lose matches 🤣.

Why do I always experience stuttering when I fire or when someone fires at me? My FPS suddenly drops from 170 down to 3–20 FPS, lasts for about 5 seconds, and then returns to normal. This has been happening more and more frequently lately. When the stutter occurs, I checked Task Manager—my CPU and GPU usage are normal, and temperatures are also within normal ranges. It’s just the game that freezes… This stuttering has gotten me killed countless times 😒. Is this a game bug, or is it time for me to upgrade my PC?
This is what a stock tank shell at BR 12.7 has to deal with when facing Russian super ERA.
I just restarted the game, but now my framerate randomly drops while I’m driving, causing my tank to suddenly veer off course…? By the time the stutter ends, I’m facing the road I just came from — and still, nothing unusual shows up in Task Manager…
Your sabot got eaten because: you aimed too high, too low, too left, too right, didn’t account for the angle, got the angle wrong, hit the vision port, missed the mudguard, hit ERA but didn’t penetrate, missed the autoloader, penetration was too low, the autoloader was empty, ammo turned black but didn’t explode, distance was off, angle was bad, shot from low to high, shot from high to low, packet loss, high ping — even though your shell model clearly passed through the enemy, the server decided you never fired. Shell’s garbage. Liner ate it. Fuel tank ate it. Autoloader ate it. Sabot ricocheted. Didn’t hit at a perfect right angle, so no post-penetration damage appeared.
Do all M1 main battle tanks lack infrared search and track systems?
F*ck off, Gaijin. Do all tanks using autoloaders similar to Russian ones have fake reload times? You might as well just delete the reload times for tanks with carousel autoloaders and let everyone face this unfair mechanic head-on. Stop quietly buffing the weak to annoy everyone.
Still because: aimed too high, too low, too left, too right, didn’t account for the angle, angle was wrong, hit the vision port, missed the mudguard, hit ERA but didn’t penetrate, missed the autoloader, penetration was too low, the autoloader was empty, ammo turned black but didn’t explode, distance was off, angle was bad, shot from low to high, shot from high to low, packet loss, high ping — even though your shell model clearly passed through the enemy, the server decided you never fired. The shell is garbage. The liner ate it. The fuel tank ate it. The autoloader ate it. The APFSDS ricocheted. Didn’t hit at a perfect right angle, so no post-penetration damage appeared. Definitely not because War Thunder is run by a bunch of pigs.
Why do I have to pay repair costs for a backup vehicle that was provided for free? Last match, I got so pissed off at the pigs running this game that I just quit mid-game. So the only tank in my lineup that wasn’t locked was the M1A2 SEP, and I entered the match with just that single vehicle. The match provided a free HSTV-L as a backup. After my SEP got damaged, I used the HSTV, but that HSTV didn’t have a repair kit—so it definitely wasn’t the locked one from my lineup. After getting destroyed in the HSTV, I left the match. But now my lineup shows I have to pay 2K repair costs for the HSTV… why? Confirmed—a bunch of pigs…
Do Slavs -➗ and the Japanese have some kind of collaboration? Why do Japanese tanks have non-detailed internal structures and super tough ammo racks?
BWD’s mother is in the fuel tank, but since BWD doesn’t have a mother, so it’s a black hole there.

Perhaps I should try to accept Russia’s magical armor, out of pity that they can only be powerful in the game.
wtfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff?really???
War Thunder in its purest form. The only game that, over the years, worsens its damage and penetration model. Where anyone, with a little help from RNG, can be the best player, while if RNG never helps you, you’ll be a mediocre player. This is the true balance of the game.

BWD’s mother, like Spider-Man, quickly moves onto their tanks, causing my APFSDS rounds to continuously enter a black hole!
I was very happpppppppppppy 😃 to hear that the test server added a turret basket to the Japanese tank.
