it needs to change. NOW. Not in 10 updates from now, Not next year. NOW. in the next update or two, or im Done. period.
Its a biased advantage that heavily leans towards the Germans and Russians, While everyone else gets inferior shells.
There is no balance here, there is no reason for them to be this powerful. APHE was notoriously one, if not THE most unreliable Anti tank round type in history. the RUSSIANS EVEN replaced it with some of the worst HEAT-FS and APDS rounds ever created because of that fact.
Its only good at busting bunkers, or when you have enough filler to actually make it useful, LIKE ON BATTLESHIPS.
Its even worse now that you made it so it basically doesn’t over pen anymore.
Genuinely atleast you used to be able to play a very Light tank and it be useful because the APHE shells would just pass through, But now even Long 88 and 122 rounds will fuse on a L3 or ASU-57.
Did you ever stop to think that maybe people like how APHE works, or the fact that nerfing APHE doesn’t buff solid shot/APDS, or that reworking APHE would require Gaijin to do a lot of rebalancing many don’t trust them to do.
Correct. The fact that it wasn’t even advertised in the game was a very confusing decision, but I don’t think that would’ve changed the outcome.
I think they should just buff solid shot and APDS even more. For me it only sucks because APDS usually take 2-3 shots on a tank sometimes with lots of crew then your teammate comes and one shots them so you’re stuck with an assist like you didn’t do 95% of the work.
Either way, if you’re a british main I’m sorry for your lose.
The actual people that PLAY the game, voted for the change, for 90% of the vote time it was going was positive to the change, Only after the garbage tier bargain basement Youtubers who rely on APHE to look good for their viewerbase (Looking at you Spookston and Co) made their garbage tier cry baby videos, did things change.
because they made horrid points and just complained.
APHE needs a rework, you KNOW its true.
Tigers shouldn’t be cupola sniping and one shotting things like The T95 or Tortoise, Nor should the Jumbo do the same to the Tiger, The entire game should be balanced around actual penetration capabilities, Not the ability to snipe tiny weakspots, and APHE overpressure.
gaijin needs to do that ANYWAY and they aren’t, it wouln’t matter and would be a generally positive change due to tanks that don’t get APHE having a chance of surviving and being slightly more relevant. I am saying this as an american main so it’s not like I would benefit from this.
