    No, I'm up close when shooting. It's only from this lates patch I've had this issue. I use AP rounds constantly. I will spawn, fire at a tank/jeep/plane whatever, no damage at all. Then die, only then when I've spawned suddenly the AP works. Then later again, say i switch to a different weapon also using AP rounds, same problem again. Does no damage.

    @EA_Atic

    Here I just had a game now. I show that AP rounds are selected. I run all the way up to the MAV to like 40 meters, no damage.

    It won't penetrate all types of armour in the game, more aimed at "light vehicle armour"

    Try on the Latv4Recon next time for example @BasenjiMaster

    @EA_AticThat was never the case before. We could chip away at anything. So if something had small amount of health, we could push it over. Seems odd now that things would be completely invulnerable to it.

    Planes and choppers don't have heavy amour, why can't I damage them?
