Replay description

M44 HEAT 240mm pen. WZ111 upper glacius 120mm.

Two bounces. Doesn't seem possible... would love an explanation.

  • #1 HEAT is not good with angles, nor spaced armour. If you do much as nicked a portion on the hull that was reinforced, it would immediately bounce. Alternately, if your shell was arcing in from a poor angle, the shell tip would not have dug in. That said, there's no doubt bad luck involved.

  • #2 According to WOT Tank inspector even if I was shooting at him when he was sitting right next to me it would have been a 50/50 pen. With me shooting at him from hundreds of meters away, the shell is dropping onto him, thus nullifying the angle. It literally should have been impossible to bounce, according to tank inspector at least.
