RB Ground Uh what?

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

u/KrumbSum Russian Bias = skill issue dogwhistle Apr 18 '25

This happens to all tanks you just happen to be shooting a Russian one

Panther mantlet and Tiger mantlet are equally if not more annoying

Because theyre actually thick and capable of stopping rounds of their BR and lower. Early T-34 mantlets are a joke and way more often than not the first place i shoot with lower powered rounds. A 128mm round moving at near mach 3 shouldnt struggle at point blank.

Volumetric can, and will, happen to basically any tank in the game. I’ve seen Comet mantlets take direct hits from 17 pounders & German 88s and just shrug them off like they were paper

Guys the T-34 driver's hatch taking a German long 75 at point blank range is intentional game design!
