We can't explain without film. Without it we have to resort to this simple analysis: "You just suck in tanks!" :D

M-4 'Zippo' isnt exactly famous for its armour... as to the reason he didnt die, ive had similar problems. I am actually sending some film to HTC myself of shots going right through enemy tanks. I think they need to look for some bugs in that department.

yup, ive noticed that for some reason when a panzer is parked on a hill my shots mostly go through them,,{at a distance} either that or my pc isnt getting a hit sprite, but yes somthing fishy is goin on.

OMFG! what kind shells you used? HE will bounce off while AP will be shoved down deep in his throat. I was expecting the sherman with the 105mm howitzer

People should also realize that in WWII the crew bailed out when they took a hit.  Currently one hit may go though the driver's compartment or clip the turret etc.  This would have resulted in the abandonment of the tank and thereby removing the tank from action.

We however, not actually dying, tend to stay in our hit Shermans and continue fighting.

"de-tracked" you mean? Unless you mean he detracted from the surroundings, in which case I agree.

Nothing clashes more than a 10-ton green monster on a nice lush landscape.

For me, my shots are normally at close range, and I see the ground BENEATH the enemy tank I shot explode. Its as if he wasnt there, the round just hits the ground INSIDE him, but hes apparently real enough to kill me before I can reload... it happens quite often, and several times I caught it on film.
