MrVic: Also some mantlets were there to provide protection a the gun mounting traverse. Tho some always had gaps as they moved up or down side to side. Typically it was due to the confines of space or slope of the armor. The example of the jagpanther mantlet, while it "seems" to shield the gun port it doesn't fully if is fully traversed right its slightly exposed on the left. Also the jagpanther mantle was semi prone to being jammed by rounds fired into it. The closer you make it "slide" along a facing the more prone they were to getting hit and locking in place. Not all mantlets covered the gun port when it was at all elevations either. Personally if you get that precise and they are tall enough to get a shot in then well it happens
Also you might attribute this to a graphical bug of a round mark showing up behind it instead of on it.
I actually have never had a damage mark show up on a mantlet on my tanks.
I am guessing your upset over having your gun damaged/knocked out? It wasn't very clear, in that case right now many tanks guns get damaged more so on the larger ones since their easier to hit and I think this is attributed to the module issues that are being seen. Personally most games my gun is damage/knocked out in about every battle at some point.
