Hitting a tiny super-hardened round "tube" from any angle? GOOD LUCK!

Chances are almost no hit would ever impact the barrel itself. They round nature would deflect or ricochet the round to exploding anywhere but inside the metal.

I wonder where you ever got such an idea?

From here


and here

Sherman tank at the Rock Island Arsenal Memorial Park.  Sherman tank was damaged by a direct hit to the tank barrel.  The restorers at RIA painted the largest battle scars yellow to illustrate the damage.

I've seen several pictures of barrel hits to tanks, and I assume that this is fairly rare overall, but that would still disable the turret, which is modeled.  Perhaps a different approach, say the turret can is damaged and can not traverse, or has to be turned manually due to damage?

All guns are able to be disabled. Except B-26 tail guns, but that will be fixed when they get updated (unless HTC has a sense of humor)


UPDATE THE B-26?!?!?1

Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
