Tank armour is really cringe.
So context, I wanted to test what tank guns could easily destroy a tiger, and Panzer 4 ausf H, I shot both in the front armour with a M4A3E8 and the rounds bounced off with little to no effect, and as a reminder, the M4A3E8 had a 76mm gun. Also side note, the German tanks weren't angled (it was so I could make sure that no tricky angling could be the problem) and I used both HVAP and AP but neither could penetrate either tanks armour, despite the M4A3E8 76 mm being able to easily penetrate the tigers front armour and the Panzer 4s frontal armour from 1 km, and I wasn't a kilometre away from the tiger so I'm confused despite it saying this mod makes the armour penetration values realistic. I could really use some answers. Oh and the rounds easily pen the side armour and rear armour of both the tanks so I'm bewildered.

Yeah, some of the armor values and Time to Kill are absolute BS
seems this mod really just Buffs the health pool and doesn't want to simulate crew deaths from the
rounds penetrating

IS-2 is really hard to kill in a Tiger 1
Given historically the IS-2 could eat hits from a Tiger on the frontal plates
but there is also plenty of Record of Tigers killing them with APCR in the frontal turret cheeks and lower Glacis and even the standard APBC killing it from 700m to the frontal Glacis

So really this mod just for some reason ♥♥♥♥♥ with ♥♥♥♥
as much as I like other aspects this mod includes.
The Armor buffs need to be reworked.

With this mod off, APCR can kill the IS-2 from the front
with this mod on.. all it does it damage the components like 12 to 8% a hit
even if it Penetrates. And some weird ass RNG that the exact center of the lower glacis
pens and Sets the engine on fire.

The ARMA3 armour penetration system is not right and no tank sim based on this engine will ever be right, The amour values are locked into the 3d models and cannot be changed, all one can do is change the penetration value of the shells but if the armour is wrong to begin with it will be right for some areas and wrong for others. It is why I gave up on this game and now play war thunder,
