    Ive noticed an im sure many others have that every now and then tank shells actully bounce off of tanks. Now is this a feature (and a very realistic cool one at that) or is it a bug.

    Even if it is a bug i think it could be an intersting feature like thicker ur armour and depending on what armour u have increses the chance of a shell bounceing off. So could go:

    Most chance bounce:
    Reflective
    Absorbent
    Reactive
    Bio
    Plain
    :Least Chance bouncing

    I dunno lol its an on the spot idea/dunno if bug Question :p what u all think? :D

    It's a bug. It's happening to all shells and missiles which are bouncing off anything.

    I saw them bouncing off structures too like rax and refs.. Not all the time though.. tough to reproduce.

    bouncing off is somehow better than magically disappearing like in the current version - still a major bug imo ...

    Because when a shell hits the ground and explodes it shouldn't disappear?
