Flak vierling bug?

[Gubaru.jp]

Hello everyone,

Something a bit strange happened tonight on Operation Totalize:

My pal Le_Calamar was driving a Cromwell somewhere near Communications HQ.
After taking out a Panther, he drives behind a Stug and blows it up with a single shot. Right after that, he comes up almost point-blank range to the Flak Vierling, fires FOUR AP shells in succession, and... nothing!

Any clues as to why that happened?

now that really is weird....

What flakvierling was it?

Hi Gubaru, has he taken as well?
What distance did he have?

They were pretty close. Something like 100 meters or so...
Can a shell technically bounce off the Vierling hull?
In any case four in a row sounds like a pretty impossible bet.

Sorry, I had a little terminology problem. It was the Flak Wirbelwind!
Sorry for the confusion

Wirbelwind is a panzer 4 tank with just a different gun. It has 80mm frontal armor so you can't pierce it's frontal armor but you can kill it by shooting it's turret like panzer4.
