Thank you for fixing Artillery

Any news on when the HE in cannons of 20mm and higher will be fixed? Aircraft armed with those guns, especially in the mid tiers, still suffer greatly and some like the Yak 15P are basically  unarmed right now as they need well over 30 hits for a single kill.

Your bug reporting Team closed my report with the statement that damage is Randome (and linked to a post I could not understand as it was in russian as well as all the comments beneath it and a google translate only told me that the russian post was about sth different from my post), but failed to aknowledge that there is no damage being dealt most of the time. And even if it was Randome (which it isn`t strickly speaking) it does not change the fact that since the Patch almost every aircraft cannon lost 85% or more of its damage output and now deals less damage than 50cals or even rifle calibre rounds. Surely that has to be a bug.

Hello there! It has come to my attention that Challenger 2E's sound still hasn't changed as stated here!

 

EDID: now it's fixed!

The only thing that continually drives me nuts, and I know its for graphics relief, but in the destroyed cities there is no debris in the water so hard to hide an amphibious vehicle in there, would probably get used more if there was...

VT1-2 and Challenger 2E sound are still the same. 10:04 CET

We have checked them in test battles and in random battles - shells do full damage. Maybe there can be some bugs in protection analysis.

So cannons were nerfed/time to kill increased intentionally then?
