I was in chill training room and decided to ask my friend (who was showing off the Maus in its Legendary camo he just got) if I can do a pen test.

I was on top of the house on Himmesldorf (I think its a house) when I shot the weakspot on back of turret with he and it penned!

Ik its a weakspot but the T49's HE has low pen how did this happen?

It could just be a rare occurrence. I got ammo racked frontally from a T49 in my WZ-111-1G-FT once.

Both of you are idiots or I'm just being mean - you splashed the Maus. This means that with HE, the shell does not penetrate but it explodes on the surface of the enemy armor. 

How much damage did it do? Did it do around a full HE 1k roll, or less than that?

Read the original post. He said that it penned. Besides, I don’t think you can splash a Maus, the armor is too thick, but I could be wrong. It could just be a rare event that doesn’t happen often.

He thought he penned it because he gave damage to the Maus. But in reality, it was splash damage from the HE round.

T49 has 83mm of HE pen calibrated.

 

The MG port on the maus turret's rear is 100mm thick.

 

 

Hmmmmmm......

Exactly! It's just not possible! It probs just splashed for maybe a tiny bit of dmg and he thought it penned. Plus, it would be more than 100mm bc getting exactly a 0 degree angle is almost impossible. How much damage did it do? That'll determine what happened.

It did pen for 893 damage. Also rng can affect pen by adding/subtracting 5% of the original pen so about 90mm of pen

Are you sure it didnt ricochet off the turret and into the hull deck? Because that's only about 55mm thick. If you have a replay of it, watch that and see where the shell mark is. If you have that turned on, though.

I just did. It hit the hulk deck and penned but it never hit the turret. I was on top of one of those small warehouses that are in-between the train cars and the ruined building.

But then why did you say it hit the turret?

[CommanderSean_2014]

rng maybe?

the perk that does increases pen

We talked about that, but it still doesn't reach 100mm. Besides, we already came to the conclusion it hit the hull deck but someone said it hit the turret.

It's possible you penned the Maus' engine deck at a 90° angle. That's the only way it could have been achieved, RNG factors aside.

He said it hit the hull deck, as I suggested.

See? I posted this before you even said anything about this topic.
