Hi Wdll,

What might be happening is this:

First shots often miss, and the defending vehicle will not turn to face a first shot.

Second shots have a far greater chance of hitting, and your AFV is far more likely to face the enemy for second shots.

In MBT missiles often just need to hit and the AFV is destroyed - that's modern warfare for you - but your AFV does have a slightly better chance of surviving a hit when facing (slightly offset) the incoming ordnance.

Therefore it's not a coincidence that your defending vehicle is turning to face the enemy on second shots and getting KO on second shots.

Those three factors:

1.The high probability of a second shot hit
2.The high probability of a second shot causing a turn to face the enemy
3.The high probability of a hit KO your AFV (in MBT)

Are probably causing you to misread events that appear to be related.

Hope this makes sense.
