Default Re: Anyone else noticed this?

Thank you but I guess I am still not understood.
I will use a slightly different example.

I have a MBT looking hull and turret at 90 degrees. At 90 degrees there is say an enemy vehicle which can fire multiple ATGMs per turn.
The enemy fires one, it misses or hits and deflects etc.
The enemy fires missile number two. As soon as the message that the enemy fires and the sound is made, my MBT will turn its turret just a few degrees, creating an angle where before it was dead on. When this happens it almost always means only one thing, my MBT is dead.
It might be that my tank turned its turret showing that it knows it is going to die and said let's try this turn?
It might be a bug?
It might be coincidence that almost always when this happens the tank is as good as dead?

In theory it might create a better chance to deflect the enemy round, but in practice it almost always mean it is going to die by the incoming round/shell/whatever. Is this almost 1:1 ratio of sudden tiny turret change and its death a normality?
