Default Re: Anyone else noticed this?

Getting your tank shot at by multiple enemies after one hex move or one shot is bound to happen several times in any larger tank vs. tank battle. The current angled facing works well in very small scale battles or battles that aren't tank-heavy, but in such it wouldn't matter so much anyway. In my experience the old 90 degrees facing worked better overall. Now there's always the 50% chance that the tank exposes its left side at a more vulnerable angle for the next enemy shooting at it immediately after the first one. It always seems to be the same "left cheek" the tanks expose. I'd suggest either making this random or going back to the direct facing.

I also made a small technical test where I shot an unarmed M1A1HA+ with an Iraqi Assad Babyl from several ranges. After the Abrams tank changed to angled facing, it often got knocked out or immobilised from sabot hits to its left side, especially at short range (10 hexes or less).
