Addendum:

Fixed an issue where rounds that penetrated an armor plate but did no damage appeared as if they had ricocheted off and not penetrated.


Good enough for me

So, rounds that penetrate an armor plate but do no damage don't appear to ricochet now?

Key words being do no damage.

Or missing the word "internal," thereby being easily misinterpreted.

I have bounced 7 rounds he and AP off m3 ended up killing it with mg go figure.

I do this all the time. the AP rounds won't hurt the M3, but I unload 50mg rounds into the rear troop housing and suddenly, the thing blows sky high.. but the AP round through the engine does nothing. Guess low caliber rounds hitting those unimportant areas is the trick. You thought TNT would do it? use a cap gun, it works better.
