Currently there is no information display for penetration value of handheld AT weapon with HEAT warhead against armor and angle, i suggest to add this minor yet vital information to the game so player can learn which part of tank armor that can be penned or not (currently i just read article about IRL penetration value of some AT weapon e.g Sturmpistole, and i still think this game still not implement damage model properly since a lot of times i failed to pen a light tank with Sturmpistole/PIAT etc even from close range)

You can practice in the “practice” mode. Shooting in different places of the tank, you will understand where it is breaking through.

I’m no expert, but from what I understand, the penetration listed in the specs for Infantry HEAT weapons is for the initial penetration BEFORE the warhead explodes and the shaped charge does it’s thing.
Since the molten jet of metal has no explosive power, vital modules such as ammo racks must be ignited post penetration.
If you miss a critical module, it might seem like the round did not penetrate. This seems more pronounced with the Allies weapons that the Germans Panzerfaust
One of many things that needs to be fixed with stat cards.
Not that the stat cards we have are accurate. For example flamethrower stat cards make the claim that they have double the range that they really do.
