damaged gun breech
can anyone pls explain the mechanic to me, i don't get why i always get misfires with an even lightly damaged gun breech while enemies never get misfires, not even with a badly damaged gun breech.

Are tanks being treated differently?

You got unlucky.

Tanks are not being treated differently.

Better than it used to be when you'd die if it failed.

Then what are the odds.
So far the missfire rate across my tanks (Waffenträger, Tiger, Panther) is 100%.
And as it goes for the enemies, the missfire-rate seems to be <33%.

I doubt premium has anything to do with it I think crew training might

If you're premium it depends on the nation you're facing. Russia typically gets bonuses and damage and lost crew doesn't affect their vehicles at all.

If you're not premium, that's why. As you've not given the snail money they've made your vehicles weaker to force you into paying out of frustration.
What a load of nonsense.

idk, just sucks when you take out an entire turret crew and within 5 seconds it fires on you with the radio op gunner.

The solution is to aim for the ammo rack, learn it's location and you will have less problems.

it's 100% miss-fire for german tanks/F2P players appearently.
may as well just quit the game/leave the tank if it's damaged..

i even had a few times where it was light yellow (damaged, but can't be repaired yet) and only did get missfires untill it broke to the point of being repairable.

Seriously, I always have Premium active on my account because I pick time up during their 50% off sales. I don't remember the last time my gun didn't misfire when I fired with a yellow or higher damaged breech.

I even use a Premium Soviet tank line up and misfires seem to be 100%!

yeah, if you need to repair your breach and it's not optional firing will 100% destroy it, but hey must be soviet bias

I've got over 1500 hours in-game, plenty of them both with and without premium time. The only way you can fire regularly with a damaged breech is if it's incredibly lightly damaged (a light yellow color). The chances of a misfire go up exponentially higher the more damage you have on your breech. In all the hours I've played, I can pretty much count on one hand the amount of times I've been able to shoot a shell with my breech having anything more than a light yellow damage.
