The trouble with RNG (vid posted)

RNG is a real problem in this game. I don't mean by that the concept, but implementation. In the video below my panzer misses 3 shots out 4 and gets an engine damage (rare event) from a pak shot. It's like RNG decided to curse that particular tank for some reason.

Note that the first shot (17:12) misses but lands very near causing a little scatter damage. The second shot (17:17) misses; third shot (17:23) finally a hit; Panzer 4 engine damage (17:25); fourth shot (17:30) misses.

Is this how Relic wants RNG to function, or is there something more (blizzard effect)?

Missing 3/4 shots when there are only 4 shots fired in total is not unusual in the least.

Remember the 50% accuracy reduction when moving that you didn't know about?
You will miss 50% anyways. 2 of those 4 shots SHOULD miss. The third miss was a perfectly normal RNG on such a small sample.

I dont understand at all what this is supposed to be about.

That's normal because you don't play the game.

Did you expect all 4 shots to hit while moving?

What is your point?

I am with Nullist this time, you rushed into the T34 expecting to hit it while on the move, yes you had some bad luck with the crit but I don't see anything strange considering the 50% chances to miss.

Its the combination of engine damage and many misses that was so unusual. It's like I did no damage and still can't pop smoke and move out of that mess.
