War Thunder- actually realistic shell ricochet

It may seem weird and broken but that's how it historically worked, just compare gun mantlet early Panther versions vs newer. It was fixed. From Wikipedia on Panther gun mantlet: 'Its transverse-cylindrical shape meant that it was more likely to deflect shells, but the lower section created a shot trap. If a non-penetrating hit bounced downwards off its lower section, it could penetrate the thin forward hull roof armor, and plunge down into the front hull compartment.[74] Penetrations of this nature could have catastrophic results, since the compartment housed the driver and radio operator sitting along both sides of the massive gearbox and steering unit. Even worse, four magazines containing main gun ammunition were located between the driver/radio operator seats and the turret, directly underneath the gun mantlet when the turret was facing forward.' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panther_...
