You ever get those games you just don't pen, let alone mercy role.
In my E4 bounced a T34 lower plate twice, IS7 lower plate twice and then off the side of a bat chat. Then got smacked by arty for 1200 HP and set on fire.
All shots were 200m or less. The E4 trolls me worse than the IS7

2 days ago I bounced a shot from a Tiger 1. Off the upper glacis of my Hellcat. I had 17 hp remaining.

Which clan are you in? I thought you could only be in one. Also are these mercy bouces kind of a new thing? I remember the game being alot more merciless when I first started playing.

Mercy bounce is not the only dubious game mechanic. More and more the game feels scripted. Very true, it's annoying when you do everything right, go to pull the trigger, and then the shell comes out at a 45 degree angle, or ghosts through enemy tank, or somehow hits a mysterious object in that long grass even though you know there's nothing there. Or when you find a 1 shot 183 and you low roll and leave it with 3 hp, at which point it snap shots you for all your hp..

Can you and Violet move to China (not copyright laws), create this game properly and then let us know when it's ready? I wouldn't take the kids though, they could end up in a sweat shop.

I wish we could. WG could fix their game if they wanted to, instead they have the attitude that "game is perfect, you're wrong, deal with it, WG are almighty". It'll hurt player retention but odds on PAIN cares more about new downloads than players staying after 6 months or more (takes most players a while to notice the issues). We're expendable cash cows and WG are fine with having a high player turnover as new players spend money, players who already have their tier Xs and prem tanks have already spent theirs and won't be missed.

I went through years on the forum being ridiculed for saying there were mercy rolls and many other "conspiracy" theories. It makes me kind of mad that those people are only now starting to see it lol

Luckily I'm not one to bring it up and make a fuss.

i was just about to start a thread about this... i dont see the mercy bounce very often, but ive been getting these bullshit hits that take out all but a sliver of another tanks hp. at first i figured bad luck, then it keeps happening over and over AND OVER AGAIN. so i start keeping track, actually writing it down and checking the damage stats for that particular gun. suprise suprise, the damage dealt was usually within 25 points of its absolute minimum. im really glad other people have taken notice to this and im not just going crazy oh and as for the mercy bounces, in my IS (175 avg pen) i shot a tiger broadside (80mm thick) and it bounced. and my favorite, again in the IS, a shot bounced off an arty sitting sideways. i love it

Finally had a non-tier X game in my Motherland last night and was rather happy with how things were progressing. It came down to 4 tanks left: an IS-3 and my Motherland versus a T71 and a M12 Arty. I had 4 rounds left, all premium. Hit the T71 twice for ZERO damage (his tracks ate both APCR rounds???) and then the M12 twice for, wait for it, 349 dmg..... He reloaded and shotgunned me before I could ram kill him, then the IS-3 finished him off and went to go sit in the cap circle. Then, to top-off the night, 2 seconds before he caps for the win, he drives out of the cap circle, into the middle of the field, and lets it end in a draw...... In a completely unrelated development, I have to go buy a new controller today......

I too believe in the mercy bounce or mercy low roll. It's even cost me wins...
The other day a T54 LW was pulling a circle of death on my IS8. My first shot hit him for about 320, leaving him on a sliver. Next shot bounced off his side, then he got me. So a mercy roll and a mercy bounce. RNG can eat a buffet of dicks
that same day, my Jagdtiger kept rolling for 300-400 on a trio of IS3s. It's annoying when it takes 1 extra shot,. but more so when i bounce on them (my borsig can go through the front easy, why not my jagdtiger?)

A few nights ago I penned 3 Jageroo HEAT shots for 600 damage each..... on 3 tanks with less than 800 hp..... and lately I have had entire games where I am shooting rubber balls, I couldn't penetrate a tank to save my life, in either Jageroo or ISU-152. Now the Troll cannons are aptly named, I embrace them for their unpredictable nature, but from 50m bouncing a 90° shot with ISU AP on a light tank's turret side is just fucky. I've....."dropped"......many controllers.

Dredging this back up due to a topic on the shit forums. I was platooned with bullpupbakerst1 and another clanmate today and observed numerous instances of mercy rolls. The subject wasn't the topic of discussion until we had all had "wtf he should be dead" moments. It's just far too commonplace to be a coincidence or RNG or confirmation bias.

Mercy roll(s) confirmed Result, loose a 1 v 1 dpm fight to a guy with a damaged ammo rack, even after outplaying him and dodging a shot. 4 shots of 241, 224, 236, 213 (3/4 low rolls) guy lives with 9 hp... my earlier damage was from arty following the tracers of the green td in front of me, shell going off course and splashing me... Also, ghost shells have become as common as the mercy roll mercy bounce. an entire clip from my amx 13 75 ghosted through a half health borsig's gun shield...

The game is fine, you just need to adapt.
