Alright, I've been seeing this for a bit, can't remember the first time.  But lately a lot of front hits are counting as rear hits, with the little red text.  Tanks and AT guns do this, atg guns the most.  Haven't noticed it on my brit account cuz I don't use tanks much...  But just wanted to put it out there if this is old or what.

Side armor hits has a chance to count as a rear armor hit.

Piats are drunk, and can not tell the front from the rear(op). must be hell on their girls....

I've seen this too, and it's a bitch. An AT Gun shot will hit a tank's front (not the side), and it'll still count as a rear hit.

It hits the top armor, which always counts as a rear hit, or it flies behind the tank, then back into it with heat-seeking technology we've grown so accustomed to with shreks/bazookas.

When a Tank is moving forward, with it's full front towards you, it shouldnt happen, and if it does, it's sheer luck.

However... If the Tank is angled anything more than 5 degrees (estimate) when it is moving towards said Tank/ATG, then the side armour is MUCH more exposed than if it were stationary, giving a much larger chance for a hit on the side.

Naturally, there is no "Side armour" so it turns as a hefty chance to whack the rear armour on what appears to be a frontal shot.

Moral of the tale:

Dont rush Tanks/ATG's at an angle.

Ok.  I know piats hit to "top".   I wasn't talking about side shots either,  dead on front hits, its annoying.  Not that I know why I'm even talking about this, nothing will change.  I'll just get used to front hits doing rear damage some of the time.

[Killer344]

yes... because it isn't fixable..

[Mysthalin]

Because sometimes guns are positioned on a slope, they may hit top armor - it is not only true for PIATs vs tanks, but also for say sherman guns on a hill vs stugs in a valley below.
