Does everyone understand what RNG means?

Lert:   Whenever a gun is fired, there are between one and like a maximum of 7 instances of RNG happening:   1) Where the shot actually goes in the aiming circle based on gaussian distribution (IE, more likely to go near the center than near the edge) 2) Upon hitting a target, passing the overmatch and ricochet tests as well as any normalization is applied, there is +/- 25% RNG on the advertized penetration value to check if it actually goes through the armor. 3) If it hits spaced armor, that same calculation is made again, with reduced penetration based on the plate it already went through 4) It the shell makes it into the main volume of the tank (instead of getting stopped on external modules or the armor) there is a +/- 25% RNG on the advertized damage value that gets applied to the target tank. 4a) Upon a HE / HESH shell not penetrating there is a whole slew of calculations to apply splash damage to the vehicle 5) If a shell hits a module (internal or external) another +/- 25% damage roll is made and applied to the module 6) That damaged module then gets a saving throw, which might just ignore the damage altogether. 7) Repeat for any other module hit. HE / HESH are especially good for damaging mutliple modules   And that's just a single shot fired.   Yes, RNG operates on the small scale as OP describes. Yes, ideally RNG should average out over a larger sample size. However, there are always tendencies and streaks, and when someone says "RNG screwed me over this match" he just had a mostly negative streak of RNG. After all - in that whole list of small scale RNG I outlined above, if only one of them doesn't roll well enough, your shot doesn't do the damage you want it to.

Totally legitimate.

Lert:   And hilarious. Total luck. Also, what is this 'full speed' you talk about when discussing things a KV-2 can do?
