why does panther bounce T34-85

[BORDER OF PURGATORY]

i bounced this thing like 5 times in a match right on the frontal and i called ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

sure enough i look at its armor thickness, 45mm with about 85 efective, big ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ deal

i look at my panthers armor penetration statistics: 185 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mm of pen at 100m

maybe russian bias is real because this is literally ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[gaming]

Because its ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ russian game

I had trouble pening that T-34-85 front chassis with 128mm APCBC, both shell bounced at about 20m when our chassis were perfeclty aligned and were both on flat ground

Was aiming the center of the upper glassis

Gaijin enjoys making everybody think the T-34 85 was the best tank in the second world war

either german guns are wrong or the t34-85 is wrong, either way fix it

also its funny to look at the recent reviews, almost all are negative

Steam reviews?
Is it a joke?

i had an IS1 bounce 3 shots from my tiger1H at point blank a few days ago.
he literally rammed me and 3 shots straight into his gun mantlet just to my right of his cannon all 'failed to penetrate' not even a bounce

i mostly have this issue mostly with SUs though

I had the same issue with Shot Mk.8 on my 17 pounder to the SIDES and front of a IS-1 at less then 100m on Advance to the Rhine.

although the worst tanks ive ever had for rofl boucing are the IS3s,4s and 10s.
ive shot at those tanks from all manner of angles and distances in their weak spots and never once even penetrated.
people said shoot the lower glacis- i shoot a T54 right there from 50m as it comes up a hill and it just keeps coming
i saw the T10 only had about 150mm on its upper side compared to my tiger2s 210mm on pen. i shoot it right there from 100m from on top of a hill so its basically flat, and it just didnt care
i got point blank at an IS4 that literally rolled down the centre of the map in the open, bouncing my entire team. literally. i fired at every inch of that tanks arse and turret until a stray freindly round took me out
same thing with an IS3, i got point blank behind it in an urban map, got off 8 rounds in its back and sides before it saw me. did nothing
and then theres the time it took me 3rounds from about 600m to black out its barrel, i went to move from cover and get closer while it fixed. it just instantly fired and killed me, then my buddy with a black cannon barrel. im not even allowed to fire mine when its yellow, and it doesnt take 3 shots to destroy mine either
i was bloody surprised a few days ago when i saw one, hit it straight in the side from about 45* and ammo racked it o.0

i havent checked IS3 armor but i penned the frontal drivers port and killed the tank in one shot with only a hetzer using APCR, but yet i cant kill T34-85 with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ panther

[Pellinore]

Its all ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.


Today in a couple matches, a T35-85 bounced a shot from my Tiger II(H) from 50m away, an IS1 absorbed a round from my Tiger II(H) from 300m away.... Countless similiar situations in in my Tiger 1 and Panther series.
