20 mm top armor,you can strafe it to death with 50 cals. The three crew in turret is cramped together so it dies easily.

Doesn’t matter, it’s still no skill spamming at 6.3 br with a unbalanced +80mm APHE

lmao
80mm is what ur afraid of?
i beleive the real issue isnt the penetration (used to be 100+ back in the day) but rather the importance of gaijin fixing armour holes in their vehicles

Or importance to change how APHE behaves after penetrating such tiny armour holes or cupolas.

80mm of no skill and spam. That is what I am afraid of.
All they do is shoot out your barrel or spam so you get blind. People who use it need to take a shower

Yes, I understand what you are saying. All the Flakpanzer 341 users need to do is to spam APHE rounds onto your vehicle and eventually it will go through no matter what tank you have.

Originally volumetric was only applied to 57mm and up rounds, has that been changed since? if not it is likely part of the reason autocannons are so damaging.

We could also remove the Yak-9Ks APHE 🌚

They need to take it back out. Almost every match today and yesterday against germany as a US player we lost. Even if it was only germany on the other side. This is absolutely ridiculous. On top of that theyre pairing it with the Ju288 bomber with the 2500 bombs and wiping the team straight off rip within the first 5 mins of the match. And i was playing my 7.0 lineup. T29, M26E1, M46, M551(76), and a couple planes. Before the update the 7.0 bracket was mostly balanced. Now? Its if youre against germany you lose immidiately. This isnt even a skill problem at this point. Absolutely unacceptable.

This is a monster. I had a match yesterday where I needed 130 more SP for a nuke and this abomination decides to single me out and banzai/crash shoot at me. It also penned at a ridiculous angle while I was a heavy tank.

Not even they need to revert it back
Playing as 6.0 USA is so painful right now. Every match is an uptier versus Germany and there is a Flakpanzer 341 in every match. You can’t even peak a hill or corner without getting obliterated by it. I even got the first shot on his side as a T1E1 (90) and it volumetrics so badly.

Very! I was in my T29 and it penned me from the front! There was at least 4 in every match i played it was ridiculous!

So far, I have seen the Flakpanzer 341 pen everything it has gone against. I have seen it in 7.0 to 8.0 kill a T95, IS-3, T-10, and many more heavily armoured vehicles.

so… you want the devs to fix how APHE reacts to a bug… rather than fixing the bug itself?
spam yes, no skill, sometimes. remember the coelian needs, on average, multiple shots to take you out. 1 shot vs many. the time it takes for you to deal a fatal blow is miniscule compared to theirs.
and if you say they flank you.thats on you. skill issue that you left yourself be flanked.if you are reacting like this to the coelian, wait till you meet the 2S38.
yeah thats their job. it requires knowledge. they distract. while a tank comes to finish the target.
not sure about the calibres. although i do know of the overpressure bug. for example the m247 has a tiny amount of explosive in its proxy shells and it if keeps spamming them onto you, the overpressure makes its way into the crew compartment and kills you.
other issue being ofcourse armour holes which has to do with volumetric armour more than volumetric shells imo

I wish you were correct but I fear the answer is simpler, they actioned a bug report.
people like these are the ones who complain about it
get to close, shoot the most armored part instead of going for the soft turret AND be blind and deaf very good combo :^

played with it, fought against it
even a solid shot to the ammo in the turret kills it in one hit
if youre going to shoot at the hull expect it to non pen and get killed after
if you cant take out the turret its a skill issue honestly

You whine too much I think. How many matches in the past in German ww2 lineups I got crippled by endless American CAS throwing bombs at me with fighter-bombers. Now one vehicle got changed and you magically lose all of your matches now. That’s a freakin skill issue.
Every SPAA can spam your barrel or tracks, what ever what tank you play. And many can pierce cupolas or armour holes. Noone complains about ZSU-57-2 being able to punch almost every tank in the game from the front and spam it out in the same manner basically.
Noone complains about M42 Duster at 4.0 BR RB with dual 40mm that pens 72mm of armour. What is this ignorance xD

just needs to go up in br and itll be fine
people need to learn to shoot at the turret and NOT the hull, but it appears to be the most challenging part
if you go into cramped areas like city or any kind of CQB youll face coelians the most since they are easy pray on long ranges if you aim for the turret, but then again, people who shoot at the hull and not the turret are the ones who make those topics in the forums
