Additional context

Could be related to ricochet armour bug

JoshBusuito commented 4 months ago

This is not a bug. The crush mechanic is a way for large bore rounds to defeat thin plates, based on a real-world phenomenon where the oblique plate doesn't have enough thickness to resist the impact, even at shallow angles. Effectively, the ricochet is bypassed because the plate isn't capable of performing it.
