    I guess it's psychological effect - big guns have longer reload, and losing the shell to such 0-damage sht gets very annoying fast.

    Ok thanks. So there's no way to avoid it ? looks random.


    I thought it happened more since 7.1 or 7.2, but i might be wrong.

    You are right though. Could be a "went right through" sort of a hit. But as you said, 1000 credits a round, no damage, gets old fast.

    T3ngu, it also occures when you're hitting right in the middle of the tank (and my E50's 105mm is enough accurate for me to know where i'm firing). So the "aim better" is not an option, this sh*t happens randomly wherever you hit the aimed tank.
    It also happens to my friend who is playing either with Ferdinand/JagdTiger or Lorraine 40t.
    That's why i try to understand this phenomenon.

    Nah, i was trolling. I don't know. Its a bit hit and miss. I typically aim low and for critical hits, fire points, drivers, loaders etc. Doesn't seem to happen so much for me, but i run primarily russain tanks. I will keep an eye out and let you know.

    Aaah russian are cheated, that's why you always penetrate and do damages. It happens only to non-russian tanks ()

    Us Austrians love russian tanks. Even Ngati.

    The game is great but i rather find the teams not to be well balanced, tactically wise. I mean i often end in a middle of lemmings that only know to rush. So far i really enjoyed (tactically wise) only a few games where people knew how to cover each other, use hull down tactics and one after one progression.
    Damn i am so bored when i got killed as a tank destroyer (detected after i shot) when half of my team sits on their asses, waiting i don't know what.

    LOL, you must be new to this game.
    This happens in 95% of FFA battles. You'll spend more time raging in such games than really enjoying neat victories.

    But one good game is able to erase all the negative experience from before.

    Tengu, I'd say you're running the wrong resolution. Both tanks look distorted on the screenshots.

    As i have said before, they look fine on screen. When i do the screenshot, they end up skewed. I will however look into it.

    **EDIT

    Since 7.3 it wont let me do decent prntscr screencaps. I chanegd all the resoluttions and ratios, no good.
