Can someone add the VFW to the hullbreakable vehicle list?TravelByTrain (talk) 20:53, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Done, thanks for notifying. -DnaGonite (talk) 21:04, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Tanks with turret HB

I wanted to bring a bit of attention to a thing many seem to not notice.

At some patch around september in "Update_"Raining_Fire"" a "turret hullbreak" was introduced into the game. It wasn't done with some fanfare, patch notes merely said:

"OTOMATIC - "Hull destruction" functionality has been added for the turret."

This did not just affect OTOMATIC (btw there is 0 mention about this in there by players, someone even wrote that it "can't be hullbroken", so it's not very obvious, it seems), but Chieftain Marksman and FV4005 too.

I assume any tank with heavy hull armour but thin turret has this "feature", but i can only speak for what i've seen personally, so i know these 3 tanks have this. They still have it, so i think this isn't going away any time soon. I have no way of knowing which other tanks have that, i assume it's the ones with like 30 mm armour or less on a turret, but god only knows.

I think these too have to be listed in "hullbreakable" list, or, at least, in their own category ("weak turret" or something along these lines).

I also think that this new automatic template thing should say "turret hullbreak" or at least just "hullbreak" when i'm browsing the page, and whoever writes about tank defences needs to pay attention to that. It's one thing if a tank like FV4005 or Marksman is tall as a tower and very easy to damage, and another if it implodes when it's being scratched.
