No tank should continue moving after a flank hit

[Kenan]

With a Vikhr that is. Right now, Abraams continue wheeling after the first hit to the side as if nothing happened..and only after the second hit they stop, burn and explode, as they usually do.

 

Now, Abrams are tough tanks but it is highly unlikely a almost 3m long 130mm missile hitting it on the side wouldn't damage the tracks or the wheels, and once any of that iron is bent, the whole moving mechanism collapses, so it doesn't even have to be completely "destroyed".

 

Those were my 0.02$

No news that damage-model for ground-vehicles is rather basic, no news on the 2 hits against the ABRAMS and no new this will be fixed in coming patches and modules.

 

There are plenty of threads like this already.

 

Have patience. BlackShark is a first step and a solid basis, not the end of the development.

Probably won't get disabled tracks/systems for a while though.
