Unbreakable newbies and others

[UA9 1]

I see the game sometimes does not allow to damage enemy gamer. Maybe, because he is newbie?
NO any damage. Although the conditions of the shotS (even 3 or more) guaranteed, if not a one-shot, then really critical damage.

 

1. My USA M18 GMC (BR 4.7) vs USSR T-34-85 (BR 5.0 or 5.7), gamer VNYUH 16 lvl.
First shot he got to the center of the left side. Nothing. Next three hіts - to the tank's turret. Only the painting was scratched. 
What happened, especially with the first shell?

2. My USSR SPG SU-152 (BR 4.7) vs USSR T-34 (BR 3.7 or 4.0), gamer Jicus 22 lvl.

SU-152 have so powerful shell, so he can not get damage to T-34 three times.

And why I can not play the replays now? Just message "Please, start or restart your game client and try again" (I did it not once, but...)

There is no "special force field" for anyone in our game.

Oh, yeah, of course, no special for anyone, we know that! You are so worried for responded urgently?

 

Another wonder hardly for understanding - here: https://warthunder.com/en/tournament/replay/5571882549112283

In first, my USA T-14 (BR 4.7) successfully penetrated the base of the turret T-34 1942 (BR 4.0). Timecode 13:50.
But that T-14 could not penetrate the base of the turret T-34 1941 (BR 3.7). Timecode 15:20.

Both times it was 25 lvl player MORTIMER_KESEL

Since the last update things have been a bit off with the game, seems my action results are always lagging well behind my doing them, this is when you get the effect you are dealing with. I get the same nonsense to bud, clean kills shot with zero or very delayed effect, just play on as it will clear up eventually, always does.

T-34 armour has been xxxx for a while but even more so since volumetric update. They will bounce shots that IRL would've shredded the turret, they have the most hand held armour of any medium tank. Side shot? Bounce or absorbed by track/wheel. AP to turret - no spalling sometimes. Breech? Nearly impossible on the STZ. Facing a German tank designed to kill you at 800m? Bounce at 500m lmao. Such balans. The late hexagon turrets are not worth firing at unless you have extremely high pen with good angle performance. These days I just don't fight T-34s where possible and wait for them to roll into an ambush. I know where to hit them (studied them for ages) but most of the time outside of very powerful guns, you'll just bounce, even in AB with green pen indicator, you will be absorbed or bounce in most cases. Their armour implementation is utterly broken, they are medium tank with heavy armour and a 4+kd on Thunderskill usually, because sweaty squads love to club in them.
