How does the hull break mechanic work?

[MacaroniBurger]

I'm confused. I'm in the american 2.0 milk truck with a 75mm gun strapped onto it and when I got downtiered, I was able to 1 shot a couple tanks due to the hull break mechanic. But then I came accross another milktruck on the enemy team. I shoot it with my 75mm gun and it's hull doesnt break. Is there a specific spot to shoot to get the hull to break?

The Hull.... chassis normally works. So front on - be the engine slightly high.... breaks. Side on bit tricky.

I belive the armour has to be below 25mm and you have to have a 75mm gun for hull break to happen

It's hard. Only about 1/10 kills I get is hall break.

Your crew skills effect dispersion and aiming... mine are max'd (or dam close) thus I hear you but for my crew its like 50% or higher front on. Or maybe I'm just lucky idk for sure but I get way higher than 1/10 and feel more like 50/50... with any 75mm against hull break'able.

Yes that is correct or equal to my understanding as well.

hull break has destroyed the game. It ♥♥♥♥♥ over open top vehicles even more. we already have air to deal with now we have a hull break from a sherman shell hitting the very tip of the flak 88 shield.

dam sorry .... dont agree with you at all. AW failed to have hullbreak and made for some silly situations that ths mechanic is needed and works against. WT example - m18 spam is so much easier to deal with.... i like it, it feels realier than not having it.

m18 was so easy to kill pre hull break.

a sherman shell nicking the flak 88s shield should not suddenly destroy the tank, it would have overpenned like hell and done no other damage. I'v also had a hull break from a 50 cal shooting the shield, so there's that.

50 cal my butt, I use it to rangefind and shoot main gun at 88 flak.... if you ever hullbreak it was main gun not 50 cal. way to kill your own creditablity.

I'v also had hull break from getting shot in the wheel and guide wheels. And dont pull that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about it would have ripped the vehicle in half because i shot at the drive wheel of a tank and it eats the shell and does nothing. same with the guide wheels.

You expect me to find a replay of a death from about 300 battles ago?

Hell yes.... I would have saved it for sure.... becuase what your saying goes against the hull break mechanic as published and would be a bug.... clearly.

But we know it didn't happen without proof to explain it or see it and fix a bug if it existed....
