"Ironically, a single Sensor Fuzed Weapon cluster bomb can completely destroy more than a dozen MBTs (I tested it against 16 T-72B3s, all destroyed)." Well, they were designed for that so that is more than expected.

It was just a comment xD it's ironic that a single tank can endure several GBU-12 direct hits but a company's worth of them is totally blown up (and I mean blown up not just dead crew and heavy damage) by a single SFW.

Not a big deal, since SFWs are made for that and I don't know if more realistic results are feasible with A3's engine and a reasonable amount of work.

The video you posted on reddit was clearly done in recruit, and when you select the recruit difficulty with RHS loaded there is a window that pops up and warns you about vehicles being much harder to kill. Try and see if you get the same results on regular or veteran difficulty.

AFAIK that only affects players' (and AIs in players' units') vehicles. It's not recruit difficulty though, it's custom (and without the reduced damage option). Will do it again in hardest difficulty just to be sure.

I've tried it in Veteran and it's the same.

PS: Was it* flagged as resolved because it's being fixed or because it was considered to be not a problem/my difficulty setting's fault? (it wasn't)

It had been fixed, currently in our internal version.
