Now this isn't guaranteed to be a bug but it is still really odd to the point that it could very easily be a bug. Or maybe it's a mechanic in the armor penetration values that I'm unaware of. Still, it's probably a good idea to post it here, since it's something which doesn't seem like it should happen.  |

Hit the belt, the ship was probably heavily angled when the shell came in and just ricocheted. Ship angle matters for belt pen in this game

A hit at oblique angle at 15000 yards, yes, 3.5 in armor might hold an 18 in shell.

There is a certain critical impact angle, which when exceeded virtually any shell can deflect off face-hardened armor of as little as 10-15% or so of the shells diameter, depending upon a number of factors such as impact velocity, cap type, etc.

Alright, thanks for the explanation. Kind of thought it was that, but I thought there'd be no harm in submitting it anyways just in case.
