When i shoot Centauro for example with maxxed T80UK’s apfsds. It straight riochets off from the upper front plate without harm. It doesn’t even act like that in real life. It’s straight pentration but why is it riochet??
Same goes to m1128 ufp, swedish strf 9040.
Gaijin, please fix?

because its called engineering, and most if not all nato tanks are engineering to bounce APFSDS rounds at extreme angle, and yes it does act like that in real life. the steeper the angle the less penetration you have once you get near 82 degrees you are not going to penetrate.

nor does russian ERA absorb APFSDS shots IRL
Another post with no video proof, no context, just shouting in the forums.
You realize, i tested these tanks myself in armour measurement and stuff. It had 0 riochets any place i’ve shot, only green which is pure pentration.
It was atleast 79 degrees and i checked myself, it said pentrative, green.
I will get proof next time, i didn’t have medal.
Of course it doesn’t. But it sure weakens pentration by little bit.
no is totally realistic for my m/95 fpds round to bounce of 40mm plate
you don’t need proof because I have had the same thing happen. The main thing with shooting light tanks is you want to shoot center mass. Even bmps have that happen when you shoot their ufp. It’s just the angle of attack that gets you.
P.S. The protection analysis is inaccurate just like the test drive is. The models are not the same between test drive and in game and protection analysis and in game.
