@Anti-Tank-KillerThe kill card doesn't specify what specific type of shell kills you so I can't say what it was that wiped my squad plus a random blueberry in a single frame.
I only know it wasn't a direct hit as we where in cover in one of those buildings filled with sand, ('Discarded'?) no direct line of sight.
I've no doubt that from the tankers perspective he was continually firing and scoring hits, but from ours it was an insta-wipe.
A similar issue persisted with BFV after launch, I'm not sure what causes it but wiser heads than mine on the old forum largely agreed with @Dont_Qwit explanation as to the cause of poor hit reg and one frame deaths.
That's fine, appreciate the info none the less. If you happen to notice it and think about it next time I'd be interested to know since this isn't really an aspect I've thought of until this conversation. What I see happening on my screen vs what the other person sees on theirs. I'm not sure if you know how to recognize the cannon/munition types but usually when you get that brief "killed by" camera it will either show the vehicle if it's in your line of sight or the outline which you can determine what cannon type the tank is running since they 3 options have a pretty distinct look.
Here are some pictures of the different shapes, just for reference incase you, or someone else didn't know. The M1 and the T28 both share the same distinct shapes for the cannons.
