Very much so. I like the hole in the side of the APC (not so sure about the "splash" in the armour surface), but the occupants seem to have been very lucky to mostly get out without a scratch. The wind effect on the grass of the LZ and the water is very well done. |

Great work – although I also wonder about what type of a projectile causes that splash |

Looks like HEAT rounds can do that, at least against the aluminum armor of an M113. I found this on Wikipedia. It has a picture of an M113 that it says was hit by 2 HEAT rounds. Both penetrations show that kind of marking. link |

Forager has it right. The markings are indeed exactly as the modeller has shown. I expected to see an almost perfectly circular hole, with this splash on the inside instead (but then no-one gets out) |
