If they work in a different way, it means armor value used doesn't always depend on the PLAYERS position. Q.E.D.

Nothing in the thread provided disproves what i've said, you seem to be misunderstanding me. As i've already stated twice, i agree the part of the vehicle that gets hit (like the barrel in the video) doesn't matter. However the direction the player is standing in, when he hits, is not always the same as the direction the projectile is travelling in, at that moment (AKA the direction of attack).

In addition to previously mentioned lockons and possible future additions, the difference also matters with flak damage, either to valkyrie, or as collateral damage to tanks, as well as things like flail and bastion AV explosives. Again, hard to test.

Either way you cut it, the presented explanation is imprecise, requires ad hoc hypotheses (case by case exceptions) and is thus unnecesarily confusing.
