I got a response, posted about it in the last thread, but the answer was no it was not for public consumption.

The use of consumption gave me a chuckle.

yea i was guessing since ive been searching the img on x and couldnt find it.
i did find something that im sure it shouldnt be there but the post is from 2021
Here is the proposed change, This will not be a buff but likely just enough of a reduction in spalling or penetration to stop the Big 3 crying about the Fox.
Note the Warrior and Falcon use the same 30mm APDS, these could impact them too.
Failing that we could see the Fox at 8.0+

Don’t make me wheel out the Richard Hammond sketch again on Top Gear
“not fit for Public Consumption”
“what about Private Consumption?”
😐
It’s not great tbh. Just an all around nerf. I can’t remember where I saw it so take it with a grain of salt, but apparently it’s “significant”

Im guessing It will make it on par with other rounds of a similar type:
Being Britain, probably the weakest of the 4 examples in that graph. So Id guess maybe 70-75mm of pen? below 1000m but a buff above 1000m
iirc on paper it should be a little better. Almost the same weight as 3UBR8, and almost same speed as the ZBD04A APDS, but probably not quite. Can’t wait for T-54/5s to become more of a pain in the ass.
On paper and Gaijin, rarely agree unfortunately
That’s going by their own numbers for weight/mass/damage/caliber/speed btw. I did a table last time the APDS came up, numbers are from the game files 30mm Performance Discrepancy - #13 by AblativeKitten
Sadly the majority of the player base think the Fox is egregious and overpowered. Nulifying its ability to flank and kill anything rectifies this.
The Falcon is also still highlighted as an issue.
Lowering the Falcon/Warrior and Fox penetrative and post penetrative effects invalidate it. What I dont understand is why it’s always British vehicles that have to be brought to heel. If you are losing to a Falcon or Fox consistently that is down to player competency

cant wait for the fox to be put at the same br as the pt 76 57…

"British vehicles only deserve to be food"And food can’t resist the fate of being eaten. 😋
I mean, I quote “the statistics are not entirely clear” (regarding the Tornado GR.1 getting stomped on release day)
But suddenly the moment it’s a vehicle that’s kinda good the statistics are crystal clear, and the “efficiency of the vehicle is very high”
(Satire but still making a serious point)
