Sherman Firefly War Thunder: The Hidden Glitch That Wrecks Realism
This title spreads fast on stream clips and forums. Viewers spot broken hits and impossible survivability. Tanks never behaved like this in reality.
Sherman Firefly War Thunder: The Hidden Glitch That Wrecks Realism is a bug letting shots hit through rolled edges. Projectiles ignore correct armor angles, causing false penetrations. Studies indicate hitboxes sometimes float outside models. Another variant names it the collision mismatch bug.
Why this happens during updates. Code for turret and hull collision stays rough. Shell path prediction can misread rolled plates. Research shows slight timer delays make hits register late.
Fix crew angle and distance to clip through less. One-line takeaway Practice angles; that glitch fades.
Q: Will server or client patches remove this?
Patches often tighten hitboxes, but new reports may still surface.
Q: Is using this bug punished?
Exploit rules vary by region; some crews face short bans.
