Dr . Ben Carson , everybody . <| sep |> Oh Christmas Tree , oh Christmas Tree ! <| sep |> That is true , but if there is any angling , environmental track variations , or even an elevation difference those rounds aren ' t going to go through . Either the tracks or roadwheel is going to eat your rounds or the angling difference is going to make your shot not pen . Your only real chance is to go and barrel stuff the Tiger to ensure penetration . The odds of being able to pen the side of the chassis in any real situation in War Thunder is low . I ' m not saying it can ' t be done I ' ve done it before so I know it can . Just that if you try to do it and it doesn ' t work don ' t be surprised . It isn ' t as rare as some random fluke shot that makes the Thunder Show , but it isn ' t something that should be relied on .
