White dots = HVARs hits. Tank = Panther A or G.
Recently I am able to kill Panzer IV or maybe Panther A at best, but never a Tiger I or II.
Another silent nerf ?

Not always. White dots mean hits without a kill or damage. Doesn’t mean a miss.
Most missiles now work more like AP rounds, you need a direct hit on armor they can actually go through
Which kinda makes sense, since HVARs are SAP warheads. They also have HE component, so they are more effective with near misses on stuff thin enough for the HE to work

Silent? It’s been vocal and obvious for everyone since they changed the penetration values to what It should be (36 mm) months ago.
How could you have missed this?

I think they used to apply the 36mm to all HE for a while? So near misses still went through stuff it shouldn’t?
DF and their explosive consistency is wild, but then the game is incredibly inconsistent so… good luck

Id say hes referring to its not a direct hit, so wont do anything. For all intensive purposes, its a miss.
HVAR 36 mm of pen…has to hit top armor of tanks. wont work on Tiger II because they have 40mm top armor…(I think)…unless overpressure is a thing…I honestly dont know.
They’ve been fixed months ago, so instead of having 75mm of pen, they have 36.
If i remember correctly u could still set the Tiger 2 Engine deck on fire with it.

Yes you do remember correctly 
I just remembered I checked that the other night when I was testing plane weapons. the vents on the engine deck are 10mm
So you can actually cause fires with 50 cal, or 20mm cannon fire…or AT rifle
