My front plate on the PzIV got blown off revealing primer coated underplate.

Literally saw this crack off through the gunner site and fly off... looking outside later and I see factory primer!

Probably my favourite detail of the TC damage model. Not as satisfying as blowing the cupola off a Pz. IV, though ?

I wonder though if that armour is literally weaker now if I get hit again?

Now that is cool!  Great pic.

Love it! A simulator... a simulator! Not a pretend simulation! This is the kind of thing people like us want to know about. How the tech worked. What the problems were.

I've done that to P-IVs a few times so far.  It's a cool detail.

I wonder if this tank would be field repaired with spare plate. I believe the plate I lost was just a bolted on addon anyways.

You’d almost certainly have more difficulty performing routine maintenance on a Tiger or Panther’s road wheels, so I imagine it could be repaired in the field.

Be interesting to see if the field repair truck can do it. I suspect so.
