so it's behaving like old HE rounds before the first nerf all the way back?
I personally haven't experienced this at all, but I have a small sample size to test from. But then I've only been playing my money making tanks (lowe and amx 13-90) + french TDs...
How is the Lowe since the patch? I havent played mine yet. The E-75 and another German tank (forget if it was the E-50 or E-100) had their engines moved to front where it is easy to hit now. I been hearing lots of complaints in game about that. I need to jump into my Lowe and see if it got screwed with.

The Löwe always had such a configuration:

50% discount on the cost of barracks for your crewmen
20% bonus for converting gold into credits
50% off the credit cost of the following tanks:
Wow that bonus is amazingly crappy. 20% bonus for gold to credits is still USELESS. Barracks space? Who they hell needs barracks space, just buy a damn tank and toss your spare crew into it.
Worked my way up to the French SOMUA S40 TD. 5 battles, 5 losses and 75% of my shots that made contact have been no damage pens. ugh... Going to keep at it though.
wasn't 7.4 suppose to fix or reduce the chance of the no damage pens? I got 4 no damage pens in a row shooting an E-75 with my IS-7 yesterday. extremly frustrating as he only had 200ish hp left. I ended up using a gold round to finish him off b/c it pissed me off so much. This fiasco essentially cost my team the game, b/c this barely alive E-75 spotted and killed both my arty while I was hitting him.
I have gotten quite a few hit for zero points today...in one battle...I made 5 shots, right in the side of tanks 90 degree angle...zero damage...kinda hard to keep up the spirit when that happens with the 128 mm gun on the VK4502(P)B...I got a ~400 dmg hit as shot #6 though...which they all should have been :|
7.4.1 is supposed to help fix this. What they found was that they were handling bullets in the server side wrong. When it encountered the tank it then removed the bullet and applied the damage. This meant if the bullet hit spaced armor or wheels then damage was not applied as the spaced/wheels took the hit. Now they are allowing the round to go until it hits a damage taking part of the tank.wasn't 7.4 suppose to fix or reduce the chance of the no damage pens?

Try hitting an AMX 13-75 in the rear with the S-70 and having it bounce twice in a row. I made a sad face that time
