screenshot shows that you bounced a 640 dmg shot, which says to me that the KV-2 shot at you with AP.
but yeah, zero damage HE hits are real - even for the biggest guns in the game.

1. It is not possible for HE shells to "ricochet". This is a little semantic, but the word "ricochet" refers to the game mechanic where AP and APCR shells will automatically bounce off armor that is sloped at 70 degrees or more.
2. It is possible for HE shells to do 0 damage. There are 2 ways this usually happens. Either the shell hits a piece of armor with so much nominal thickness that it literally does 0 damage, or the shell explodes too far away from the primary armor.
In this case, for a KV-2 shooting a P-43 bis, what likely happened is that the KV-2 hit the tip of your gun, causing the shell to explode too far away from your tank to deal damage. It happens. Just ask Grille 15 players

I think “Bounced off” is what the crew says when the shot does zero damage - it’s not a reflection of the actual thing that happened. More likely it seems that the smasher shot the train carriage or ground and the splash didn’t pen.

YUP.
Meat - upload the replay to ArmorInspector - and watch the actual impact - it won't be on the Bulldog.

it shouldn’t but it does. I guess they just have a list of “things crews can say” and “bounced” somehow ended up in the HE list ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

could've been his tank exploding? looks like y'all must've fired at basically the same time
