I was using my GWE on a game of hills. I hit a destroyed Tiger 2 with a T54 hiding literally right next to it, expecting to knock off the last 5 hp of the 54. instead, no damage or indication of a hit was registered. The shell has a 7m splash radus and should have killed that tank being less than 2m away from the explosion.

<- shot in the air, shown center of screen

<- trajectory is over the 54, shot has not exploded yet

<- actual impact, initial explosion radius suggests the tank should have been damaged just from this screenshot

ikr, I've always wondered about that...

BTW, needs smaller pics.

im a big arty fan idknow what that is but maybe its because it depends on the type of map or the level of floor???

[zephoid]

the pics are thumbnails, you can click on them to maximize. didnt want to post 3 massive pictures, makes it hard to put comment text.

what do you mean type of map or floor level? idk how those relate to this topic.

Just shot at a Lowe parked touching the wreck of a GWP, with my S-51.  Went a hair wide, slammed an HE shell into the GWP wreck.  Despite being IN PHYSICAL CONTACT with the wreck, maybe 2 feet away from the impact point...  No splash damage to the Lowe at all.  Didn't even register as being a near miss.

Have noticed this as well in my T92, which is supposed to be a huge splash radius.  If I hit a wreck with a tank right next to it, it does 0 damage to the tank.  Had the shell hit the ground rather than a wreck at the same spot, it would have done a great deal of damage.  Or small rocks for that matter.  I've hit the front of a rock with an enemy behind it and still did 10% damage to him.  But a wrecked tank that's a quarter the size?  0 damage.

Good, its not just me that noticed this. Now we just have to get the devs to notice this also.

Noticed exactly the same thing yesterday. KV4 hiding behind dead Patton, I hit the top of the patton´s turret, 0 dmg to KV-4. This is especially annoying with tanks capping, hidding behind dead tanks.
