Tank Shells getting shot by MG rounds

[Jekkt01]

I don't know if someone mentioned this before but I want to be sure.

So I was playing with some friends on Gumrak.
We drove that T-34 over the hill and a Panzer IV showed up.
I was the first to shoot and I continued firing with my MG. I knew it was worthless but suddenly my enemy shot and the shell was deflected somehow.

I'm not sure if it really was the MG but it sure looked like it.
I was surprised like this -->.

But that's realism!
If a shell is loaded, you can "virtually" (with much luck) hit a place, where the bullet gets damaged and explodes in it's place

No, no. It didn't explode.
The enemy round flew towards me while I was shooting with the coaxial MG and then I just saw his projectile falling to the ground.

But it was epic.

Are you sure it didn't deflect off of your armour? Or drop from poor sight zeroing? That's common.

Shells often bounce off the armour if hit in the correct place. You can also take out a shell with a well placed bullet, causing it to explode right where it is.

Now look what you have done.
Mad MS Paint skillz.

This is how it looked like to me.
He was at Cap Zone B.
The projectile didn't hit me and bounced off and there was no puff of smoke.

But I think the audience demands a better proof for this.
