For a second it looked you were on a island filled marsh and now I kinda want that in game

The one time you didn't hit the slope on an awkward angle you set it on fire. The other shots hit it at like 70-80 degrees, maybe they should pen, highly doubt it though.

Considering the angles each one hit, it seems more like you were just having a bad day rather than just any of the above.

The noly odd one was the second shell. Otherwise, what do you expect when shooting on such an extreme angle?

really the only problem with warthunder i think is hit registation

we all hate it when your ATGM bounces off a spot where it should have peirced.

yeah but its heat not ap or apfsds its heat high explosive anti tank it shouldnt have bounced at all

Oh trust me, I've dealt with that before. Any other shell, I can see it bouncing. But HEAT-FS? The moment that tip hits anything, it should be set off... Theres no way in hell HEAT-FS can bounce if the TIP makes contact. The explosion should not be as powerful as the blast isn't concentrated in a straight angle, but BOUNCE? NO! All your shots hit with the protruding tip of the HEAT-FS first. No excuse for those shots to bounce like that.

HEAT can bounce. At higher angles, a fuse may fail to set the round off, or simply may not even make contact (such as skimming across a surface, like your second and third shot). Take 90mm M431 HEAT for example. It was noted that it had a high probability to fail to detonate if it struck a T-54 upper glacis when the tank was angled at 20 degrees or more.

The first hit to the side is a bit iffy, but the rest, especially sitting in lower ground to the BMP, it's essentially trying to hit a horizontally flat surface. Always best to shoot low on a BMP.

No matter which kind of detonation maechanism a shell has, they most of the time only go off if the tip touches the armour. The only shell type I can think off that COULD still do something at such an angle could be HESH.
