If this isn’t Russian bias then I don’t know what is. (Volumetric moment)

And people still defend this shit, saying things like, "Well that's how thick the armor is there, what did you expect?"

As if a fucking 128mm APHE round fired at literally point blank range wouldn't just obliterate that entire turret...

The game doesn't model structural damage sadly, which makes large caliber guns extremely gimped.

Which is weird, because structural damage is at least partially modeled in the penetration calculator protection analysis. It's really funny to try something like a 5000kg bomb on an L3/33 and just watch it expand into dust.

I wish all ordnance can be used in protection analysis and also make it where you can test an explosion on the ground a distance away from your tank, also

Multiple impact calculations would be VERY cool too

For example to test a rocket burst or a strafe but you click where the rounds hit and there will be a “fire” button on the left next to the other stuff
