Barrel damage adds insult to injury for heavy armor

Well it better be just removed from ab
Let it be in rb

I dont see any reason to remove it from AB. Removing certain features from AB would make it same as WoT.
They should remove CAS from AB instead.

Thats what is happening here 👇

That is yet another nail in the coffin for bigger cannons it doesn’t need.

Just being real

It just creates more imbalance and downsides without upsides.

Then just leave it as is, there are bigger issue’s

Nope, historically accurate and makes any tank have some kind of viability even in the most extreme uptier. Your in a heavy tank and getting circled by a light tank, you messed up. There are ways to reduce the chance of barrel damage.

It is Your own fault if You allow enemy to shoot at Your barrel

OK

Okay, no factor. You just go back behind cover

It doesn’t you are behind cover, but let’s say it does for the sake of argument.

Your team pops him, when he tries it. That sounds like positioning issue on your part.

Here’s some historic footage from the Soviets in Poland

Yeah, a faster small tank circling your bigger slower tank, clearly a skill issue, should have sideclimbed.

You know, being aware of surroundings is part of a skill.

Yeah, I’ll just vanish into thin air when I hear someone coming.

In the scenario images above, yes it is.
Wedge yourself next to the wall as the KV-1 and they can nolonger circle you.

And occasionally i dont see the issue of a very inferior vehicle managing to craft a sitation where it will win.

Edit: and its “historically accurate”. Many many vehicles have lost against vastly inferior weapons. Like recently when a T-90M very much lost against 2 M2A2 ODS Bradleys

They won’t circle you yet nothing else changes.

You can always prepare for it, You know?

If You drive to the city with multiple roads, You can expect someone is going to go on Your flank.

Im fairly certain you can 7.62 the R3. So yeah them being unable to circle very much changes the engagement

And then what? Now I have the magical protection of anticipation which bolsters my defense with +5?

You can prepare for it and kill the target before it damages You?
