A T-35 is pretty much a Land Battleship, with it's 3 main guns. (1 76 mm, 2*45 mm). It's quite rare to see, as a rather expensive premium vehicle.

It has like, an 11 man crew. So 3 gunners, 3 loaders, 2 machine gunners, 1 commander and 1 driver. Knocking out it's entire crew is kind of hard. Try detonating the ammo racks in the turrets.

Ok i'm done with War Thunder GF.
Seriously they add new "great" premium tanks like T-35 (amazingly overpowered for its BR).
Add more and more sparkles but god forbid fix anything!
Like the collision and physics models since they are still "X Simulator 20XX" level of awful.

Not sure what's so ridiculous. He got a lucky one shot. Well, crap, sorry.

Through a solid castle wall made out of stone that happened to be wider than the tank i was in.
Better yet that's the second time i experienced that.

I think he shot over the wall, actually, and no, the wall wasn't wider than your tank. Even if he did shoot through the wall, an AP could easily make that.

Stone actually offers significantly less resistance than steel to AP shells. The only real benefit most stone walls have is that they tend to be really thick, but that one wasn't much thicker than cinderblock.

I think a lot of people have difficulty realizing how ineffective most things are at stopping high-speed projectiles. 5.56 bullets have been known to go through brick walls on occasion. A tank cannon, even a 'weak' one, laughs at that sort of thing.

Sorry guys but no. it was a T-26 using stock APHE ammo with 15 mm of fuse sensitivity passing straight through that wall.
I mean look at those shots right before i died.

That wall is more than 1 meter thick meaning the shell T-26 uses should have exploded when it hit it (15 mm fuse sensitivity remember?)
i'd understand if it hit the exposed part of my turret causing a ricochet cascade inside but it PHASED through a wall.
Don't tell me that APHE shells going through meter thicks walls as if they were nothing and then penetrating an additional 20 mm of armor is something normal if they have 15 mm fuse sensitivity on their HE component!

Honestly? That's been a problem since the very beginning. I don't even think they can fix it, it's been reported so many times that nobody even bothers complaining about it any more. If I had to make a poorly-educated guess, it's a latency bug and fixing it would screw with something else more important to the overall flow of the game. But that's just a poorly-educated guess from someone who knows very little about the inner meat of programming.

In my opinion, the T-35 isn'that great. Steers like a brick, engine is huge and vulnerable, multi-turret is hardly an advantage, also, ammo everywhere.

On a side note, I don't see the shell passing through the wall. Plenty of space for it to pass to the sides.

There was none. I freecammed around and took screenshots all the way from the shooter to my tank.
All that was exposed was a part of my turret and a bit of my frontal armor at a very shalow angle. I even linked the screenshot package http://imgur.com/a/VzLg3.
The screen was taken going straight from the shooting T-26 to me and my entire side was hidden with only a tiny part of my frontal armor and turret being exposed... heck if we take the fact that the shooter was lower than me i was effectively in full cover behind that wall.
Heck i could even send you the replay file if you want to check it out.

So I've gotten both the 2-OP and the float-bi-plane. I am now unstoppable.

I got the floatplane and then the game wouldn't let me get another plane for some reason.

You only get one plane from the 2 year anniversary.

The Po-2 is from the Halloween event.
