Strange bounce in m41...

WhiteAndMilky's Photo WhiteAndMilky Mar 13 2012

I found a JagPanther pointed in my direction. I took the time, lined up my shot and fired into him. My m41 round hit the very tip of his gun and said "that one bounced!"... Didn't break his gun or anything, just bounced.

I have never seen this happen before, even with normal tanks in combat, and definitely not arty...

A Gw panther has bounced off my T30's gun twice in a row, and he asked me if I felt anything on the gun.

so I ask him back in return if he is using the AP gold rounds, he said nope, regular HE rounds.

Its just sometimes these weird things happen.

Bounced a T-50-2 in a Lowe while the T-50-2 was capping stationary. I was wondering, what??? Lost that match because the T-50-2 capped it. =.='

Jagdpanther has an incredibly thick gun mantlet that helps protect much of the tank's front, in a similar fashion to what the Object 704 can do. To my knowledge it will absorb any shot-- I've never pemetrated it with any of my tanks, even the T95 with the 155mm gun.

I'd chalk it up to RNG.  Sometimes you get some rather strange bounces for whatever the reason, it's just part of the game.

my worst bounces were 3 ferdi shots off the side of a GW type E, all bounced, and the first time I ever saw the AMX50B I unloaded a nice shot right into his side on my T30. Game is weird sometimes.
