Judging from this first hand account, it looks like volumetric might have messed up your shot.

yes, but why does volumetrics mess up my shot?
2+ plates intersecting meaning it takes on board multiple thicknesses rather than one. Still an issue and I presume they are trying to work it out for last 2 years.

You got volumetriced.
The shell hit at the junction of the hull side and underside plate. Even though that plate is only 25mm in thickness, the length is over 1000mm and that is what it uses to calculate penetration. Happens all the time. To me, its usually the top edge of the upper front plate on Pz IVs. Never fails.

The same reason why a BMP-1 can bounce my HO-RI Productions APHE shot at 200m…Gaijin volumetric voodoo…

Which feels like they will never ever ever work it out.

You mean he messed up his shot.
Blaming volumetric due to poor aim keeps one shooting poorly.

You missed the side armor and hit the roof armor:
There’s nothing to work out. It’s functioning correctly.

Is this post ironic?
How is this the roof?
That is the thin metal plates protecting the suspension. These should not even set the fuse on the shell, neither deflect it. The shell should pass the plates, and hit the hull.
Bro that is most definitely not the roof, that is just the armor plate above the suspension that connects the inner hull to the skirts, so its probably volumetric that messed the shot up.

I think he means the roof/top of the side skirt
I agree… I hate side skirts almost as much as I hate my “allies” in ARB…

so then why didnt the shell richochet downwards, into the side armor?
this is how you say it happened. the shell should have continued its travel non the less. pen the side of the main hull, and detonate, and kill it.

Dude thinks roof armor are thin metal plates.
The video clearly shows the round going through any thin metal plates.
@ThyStranger
Go look at the Swedish Tiger 2, that’s one of the roofs.
“Volumetric screwed up WW2 tankers shots. They were all gods with no faults.” - Your rationale.
Cause it normalized into the roof armor. It’d get wedged IRL, but it’s a bounce in War Thunder.

I have to correct myself, you were completly right.
I wouldnt call it the “roof” but he hit the horizontal part of the hull armor, that goes over the tracks.
(Marked in the attached picture)
It was just an unlucky shot.
