As for the cupola, the commander’s head is normally located up in that area so he can see to fight the tank. So besides the obvious dead commander problem ANY hit that pens there will cause pieces of metal to fly around inside the tank damaging things internally…Depending on the angle of the hit and the type of round, the penetrator could go into the crew compartment of pass through the turret into the engine or ammo. I have seen photos of tanks that had their cupolas blown off usually with significant damage to other parts of the tank because of the hit. Should it do as much damage as a hit to the LFP? Probably not but it is the HP damage model that causes that, a pen is a pen if the area is modeled.

The above Q/A is from SerB, translated from Russian.

Also, as you pointed out, you were taking advantage of the system, using rounding to make it seem like you had 50% on those tanks, when you really didn’t…effectively, lying to anyone who looked at your service record. How is that more right than WG fixing their system so it rounds like it should have to begin with?

Composite armour wasn’t on the table when the Leo and AMX-30 were designed. Plus the 105mm’s seemed to do quite a number on mid-Cold War tanks *anyway*, judging by the Israeli experience.
