What's it feel like to bounce a shot?

[4 Wild]

As an up incoming tier 5 US tanker im getting 1 shot by everything under the sun. I realized the other day that most of my american tanks never have good armour and if my first shot on them doesnt kill, i die. Because of this I was just wondering if someone could describe to me how it feels to get caught somewhere and get hit but take no damage! please tell me...i want imagine!

Just play the 75mm M4A3E2 Jumbo lol

That's always a weird feeling.
Just thinking "oh ♥♥♥♥ oh ♥♥♥♥" all through the fight as you take all these hit indicators, then you look at your damage and you're barely scratched.

The jumbo doesn't bounce any tier 5 level king tiger, is-3, t-54 or centurion shots... plus your 75mm wont pen any standard medium/heavy tank at tier 5.... try again

''oh you done ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up now son''

Ask the Pz F2 that bounced my 152mm HE...

Anyway, is like having a heart-attack and reviving:
You know it could have killed you,
you suddently realize and put all your sences on to spot the ennemy.
The bloody crack noise it does, is a painfuly frightning...

how does a t34 bounce an 88 from 10 meters off its gun mantlet, when the next shot in the same area goes through the world will never know,

besides you are doing america wrong, break out the dough, buy a T29 and watch as the world feebily trys to pen you lauging maniacly while you rape anything under the sun including tiger 2 hs.

t29 is a beast in the right hands but has a suprising amount of weakpoints

[Coolmint]

Take it from a fellow T4 U.S tanker.

You'll never bounce a shot.

Think of it as the Panzers for Germany, you can pen anything, but anything can pen you.

It sounds like a frying pan hit your tank, but you took no damage. Basically a sign you should back up unless the enemy has a bad cannon.

Tier5 USA, is my favourite nation, but your tanks are still very vulnerable to lower tier tanks fire, only m60a1 has better armour and will save you a few times, heafts is a must on USA tier5 tanks, m47 in my opinion its the best USA tier5 tank because it has heafts, amazing reverse speed to avoid being shooted and alot of times can survive pretty well to enemy fire, very good medium to troll.
USA tanks are very beautifull at tier5, good gun depression wich some of them have 10 degrees, very cool to deal with terrain deformation, and with the right shells and good acuracy you will win easly the fire fights, m60a1 only problem is to get shotted between your gun and hull, its a trapshot also the cupula is very vulnerable.
Always carry with you a few m82 shells to fire to the enemy exposed sides, wich is more effective to 1shot kill them.
USA, all of its tank tree in my opinion its the most hard one to play and progress, making them very special and well respected.

you dont really see it other than you just hear the BONK noise of a shell thats impacted but has done nothing.
