ya no, you’re relying solely on a British report, likely altered, because morale reasons. because if APHE was truly bad, no one would’ve used it. instead literally everyone but the British fielded APHE rounds.
also again the APHE change would’ve only made bad APHE worse. it wouldn’t have prevented a tiger from over-pressuring a black prince from the front, or an is2 doing the same thing, or god forbid you see an ikv73 which has 3 times the explosive mass of an Russian 122.
There’s years of British reports detailing the subject. I suppose you’ll claim the original reports of their APHE vs AP prior to WW2 is somehow for morale too?
Or the French, or the Canadians.
Even the American’s, about half way through the war they realized APHE just wasn’t worth it. And like the brits started removing the bursting charges from their APHE rounds. And eventually once they worked through all of those de HE’d AP. they just started sending out normal AP, or HVAP.
90% of my damn deaths anymore are just to HE spamming BULLSHIT.
You can do EVERYTHING Right in this game, play with UNMATCHED skill, and some moron can just go “HUR DUR HE” and kill you without a second to aim or anything. its total garbage, and NEEDS REMOVED.
its worse than CAS at this point.
atleast CAS needs some intelligence on how to fly a plane.
We do aim when we spam you with APHE. Just know that. Especially if you have a sweet sweet cupola.
You do, but cupola sniping is pretty stupid.
Lol. You got hostile super quick.
I didn’t say anything about Britain suffers. I just want the game to be realistic, or for all ammo types to have equal treatment.
That’s fine, btw. My response was to Heavytanker in the first place.
Read this dribble:
If he was playing his heavy tank right, he wouldn’t have been autocannon spammed in the first place. On the same note, if you don’t position your autocannon spammer correctly, you’ll be dead before you even get to spam.
uhuh… yeah… M55, totally a Autocanon.
What are you? a Bot? Dead internet Theory realized?
The real APHE problem is with autocannon spammers. If this whole topic is you whining about the M55, you need some help. edit oh noes, I’m on an ignore list. Anyway, I’m fine with HE damage. Especially from the likes of M55.
So you have no reading comprehension skills? Got it. Into the ignore list with you.
i dont remember what was the reason to add shatter, so if you can track this down i`ll be first to agree with you. But as for now, i feel like its the same as having “Fuel tank exploded” message when tank actually was destroyed through crew damage - just a message to cover bad penetration
Ah, that`s what it is! Okay, i understand now. I need to do some research here to further talk about WW1 APHEs of britain, as im pretty sure there will be something interesting about them
Never got hit once there with HE tho, so dunno
Tho i saw some kills with hitting HEATFS 120mm to T-80’s tip of the barrel. That was a effin joke
It was bug reported, I think you can still find a link to the report in the August BR changes table. It’s a shame, but it’s still more mobile than other Tiger IIs (with the exception of the 105) and gets the job done.
That cupola snipe is unfortunate, most people forget that Tiger IIs even have a cupola weakspot for those with guns that don’t go through the turret face. But you will occasionally encounter T-34-85 / T-44 / KV-220 players savvy enough to shoot there. It’s something to be on the lookout for when you play the Sla.
Even if APHE was given conical fragmentation and overpressure was nerfed, by the way, a full commitment to realism would still demand that any successful cupola shot put a tank out of action… No tank is fighting on without vision ports and with a decapitated commander in the turret. Otherwise we’re just talking about selective realism anyway (which is the more reasonable approach to a videogame imo).
love this realism that made me need to fire 7 times with a Conqueror to pierce the side of a Maus just once.
