[Update: Question answered, it is RNG]


what do you say, bugged or bad RNG?
It happened in two consecutive games, so I got aware.

first


second
with the initial shot in the first 2 sec of the video

First one the comet got a little unlucky, in the second one Teal player really dropped the ball

AT gun was in great position to take rear armor shot, at the very least they could've messed with the Panthers pathing. Instead they didn't even react to the panther until it was driving past the AT gun, and only got 1 shot on frontal armor

A t34/85 not frontally penetrating panther/missing shots on the move isn't much to complain about imo. That comet probably should've done better tho

It's invincible because of rng. That's just the game you were dealing with, not a bug. If you were behind it bashing it away with penetrating shots, then it would look like a bug.

DAMN I haven't seen such bouncing since 2015 :hyper:. I had to actually check the date of the video to make sure. As others said, just bad RNG. I've seen Comets swiss cheesed by Ausf Js and almost every shot in return failed to pen.

Yeah not sure why this is in the bug section as this is clearly pure RNG.

It's not like this stuff happened on the rear armor of the Panther, cuz then I'd be concerned. Neither the T34/85 nor the Comet have a super amazing chance to pen Panther frontal armor

The biggest medium tank health and great armor, combined with absurd speeds


Although you got let down even by the PAK-40, which is extremely bad luck

They were more let down by the person using the pak40, they reacted way way too late

only if they were premade would there ever be any chance of his allies spotting the panther in their base, and set up a proper reply.

besides, AT guns, even the (stolen) german ones, lose 50 iq points upon needing urgent shots like these

That's insane! Is possible though. The way the game calculates something like 50% penetration doesn't exactly mean that if you take 2 shots, 1 of them will penetrate for sure. I think it's easy to get caught up in that. You could flip a coin 100 times and it land on the same side every single time and you still had a 50% chance the whole time.

This clip seems like from the times when KT had 425 armor and Zis had 180 penetration. Although even with those odds RNG rolls are still pretty bad.

What are you talking about? Everyone shares vision, they absolutely shouldve seen it coming. Gotta pay attention to the minimap
