I would think the whole sloped plate of a panther counts as the same spot. I hate when people use sups for no real reason.
That's what I would expect, considering how the planes work. It would probably be a real bear to test because getting exactly the same angle every time would be tricky. I was just wondering if it was a somewhat common knowledge thing among tankers.
The way I think it works is, no penetration=no damage at all, so theoretically you could sit there all day. Additionally, it would seem to me if it takes more than one penetrating round to kill the tank, you could damage it once, then bounce rounds off it again all day from the wrong angle with no additional effect.
The reason it interests me is, every single other game I've ever seen you chip away at armor, then you kill the squishy thing inside. I just find it an interesting difference if it works the way I think it does, and I think it might explain a lot of things people complain about.
