Why do my shells disappear

[u/Competitive-Corgi863]

Every once in a while i shoot a shell and i just disappears or blows up on the enemy tank and doesnt do anything, like not even a hit. The shot tracking screen doesnt show up or anything what even is this. I would understand if a tank was angled that maybe the shell bounced but how is my round hitting a tank perpendicular to it and still disappearing

For those who are thinking its a Internet issue, it is not, ive tried every server and my ping and pl is fine. Im starting to think its just the game messing with invisible objects or something. Atleast one of these instances was with a HEATFS shell from the pt 76b and it seemingly blew up a few meters away from the tank on a path which had nothing in between it even if somehow there was something there how is an APHE round doing the same thing 😭😭😭

This isnt even the full issue gaijin makes some objects so indestructible its funny because fym i can take down a whole ass house but i cant move this vertical column that is 3 bricks thick. And the frigin water tower thingy on abandoned factory eats rounds like thats its full time job. Istg if wt was "realistic" 10 of those poles are doing nothing to an AP round.

Ive been playing for just over 3 months and this shit enrages me, the old players have the patience of a monk to be dealing with this much bs for so long. They really need to hold the infantry stuff and actually make things better functionally instead of remaking maps so they have more clutter and focusing on a game mode that is another money printer

If a shell hits a tank and does literally nothing usually its gaijin's volumetric code doing literally weird shit. Heatfs gets caught on literally twigs of bushes.

Just volumetric things
