There’s a video of a Tetrarch eating a 170mm round from a JPE100 thru the gun mantlet for 0 damage at 0 meters.

Spaced armor “loses” the shell after the first penetration and then the game no longer registers it. That’s why you get the “black” icon flash to signify a bounce and the “penetration” voice prompt to signify a penetration but 0 damage.

It’s a broken core mechanic. Spaced armor is retarded.

what tetrarch vs jpe video?, link that!

and yes, space armor is broken even since they “fixed” it, T95 used to absorb HE shells just like it should, after the fix any arty hit even on the tracks will deal damage

LOL, not me. I would trust a MacDonalds’ Drive Thru Order Taker more than WoT

this will hurt the Germans since some of them (Ktig with stock turret, Maus, VK3601H) have shot traps.

cue the russian bias.

Overmatch doesn’t work. I submitted a ticket when my 120 mm AP shell from my AMX ’48 bounced the side of an AMX 12t. It overmatched by a factor of 6 and it bounced. No module damage, no critical hit, it bounced. I was told that a bounce is still possible regardless of the caliber if the shell. I asked them to change the wiki as it was not accurate, they have not. If it is in the video then they are still spewing forth the overmatch lie.

Exactly the example I had in mind. God only knows how many 155mm rounds I’ve bounced off the ass end of Batshits.

The Batchat’s ass end is 30mm thick.

If overmatch worked, that would mean that AP from any 90mm in the game should penetrate with 100% reliability.

Good luck with that.

The back of the turret is 15mm thick. Any 76mm gun in the game should overmatch. Hah.

Spaced armor is still broken too. Do I need to dig up the JPE100 vs Tetrarch video again?

Lack of teamwork? You can’t lose what you never had, WarGaming.

more than hilarious I can’t stop but think how they decided to “reward” players for using their armor to protect allies with less armor and at the same time they add a new “physics” who will make “tanking” a serious danger for teamwork

just imagine a tank with strong armor sidescraping and a teammate/plattonmate doing peek-a-boo behind him when the enemy fires, the shell ricochets from the side armor and it hits his ally behind him

it won’t take too loong for players to avoid those situations and that will create a problem when a player will need to hold a position by himself against one or more enemies and that will endanger the already lack of teamwork in WoT, altough the majority of players don’t need one more reason for it
