To make aircraft gameplay feels like real, it’s important to have true physics of the flight-model and realistic controls. To make tank gameplay feels like real, it is most important to have true physics of the damage model. That’s why we start to reveal details of the tank gameplay in War Thunder from the tank damage model (or DM). To destroy the ground force unit, you have to hit vital components or crew. Armour prevents instant damage to internal components, until it could resist the power of a shell.
