I am no fan of the Penindicator myself but i understand why it is in the game, not everyone is a tank nerd an learns layouts by heart.
BUT the fact the there is no direct line of sight rquirement, to have the Pen marker show up is just silly.
You can camp behind a bush and get this marker over the entire map even when the enemy tank advances through foliage as well. All you see is the bloody marker getting green and you fire.
Sorry that is just not fun.
Especially not for the one that gets shot. Its literally see green press left mouse succeed, even when there is otherwise no trace of a tank.
If at all possible there should be line of sight requirement for this marker.

The removal of the arcade marker has been an ongoing saga. However, at the moment it can’t be functionally removed, because you wouldn’t hit anything without it. The stupid marker is as much of a crutch for the newbies to tanks as it is an indicator where the round can go through the shitty terrain implemented in game which currently soaks up >50% of the tank fire.
Coupled with the recent nerfs to tank HE and Player Plane bomb HE, playing vehicles is becoming a serious chore.
It as a whole is a bad idea

Personally, I think it is fine for the most part because it doesn’t just tell you the weak spots of a tank, only if the shell will pen. You have to memorize the locations of crew-men and ammunition racks. But I do understand how frustrating it can be, considering it does work even through concealed locations like dense bushes.

I meant the Armor layout in regards to the pen marker, i worded that a bit wrong.
