What is the issue with ballistic caps?

Vote yes for better heavy tanks. Also you should not have both the good thing right? APHE will have the advantage of solid AP (engine damage) and dealing massive sphere damage. (as if fragment area not passed while shell cap stays)
You mean better for like a month or 2 until their BR gets increased and they become even worse.
Thinking that heavy tanks will become any better due to this change is very short sighted
Mainly that 6.7+ heavy tanks are lack of mobility and protection (not with Russian tanks in this one), their firepower also heavily limited by their rate of fire. Being cupoladed are common regarding many of these
If you (Gaijin) want to test a mechanic or need to rebalance something that’s not working fine : just test it or rebalance the thing already. Don’t ask permission from the playerbase that’s mostly misinformed and looking to just win and have an easy time rather than a balanced competition and challenge.
Asking what we think about some NEW mechanic or if we’d rather have this or that first is fine and it keeps people engaged but don’t ask the playerbase opinion on crucial game balance. It’s YOUR game and you’re very keen to keep all the stats opaque anyway so how should we know what’s best for the health of the game ?
TLDR : this survey should have never been published. Test it, collect data and make a decision as the developer of the game.

Dear English speaking community,
I am an usual player from CIS region, unfortunately. I wish i was from the Western part of the world.
Let me first introduce you the lore of CIS community and the struggle between fair players, who strive for changes and improvements in the game VS archaic and selfish Russian speaking bloggers , who care only about their view statistics and self-proclaimed status of “skilled players”.
Since the attempts to improve Tank Simulator Battles with the test of Battle ratings, we - the people of CIS War Thunder segment - have been fighting against aggressive and radical followers of some prominent bloggers.
To name the most disgusting and harmful for the community:
K2_Krabiwe (also known as “Imhoteph” and “Pharaoh” due to his dictatorial style of handling any communication with people) - opposed TEST of BR in Simulator battles and agitated his community to rig voting by creating deceitful videos, where Tigers II were being destroyed by MILAN. At the same time, in nowadays TSB Tigers are destroyed by Soviet and Western tanks from future, not mentioning clones etc.
He also opposed our revolution in Steam review bombing and creation of Roadmaps that in the end improved for the better plenty of aspects of our game.
In his video he called our righteous cause “a battle of elephant vs fly”, meaning that Gaijins will and must just ignore our fair demands. Of course he failed and we gained a lot since then in terms of economy and gameplay.
Now he is agitating his aggressive and radical group to vote against Test of more accurate model of APHE by deceiving them.
What i want to say by this message is that we need help from you - the most sane and rightful part of WT community - the West. We want to join our forces with you to tackle down this Pharaoh and to give CIS people freedom of thought and speech.
Let us get rid of this harmful and useless parasites!

Very true. If they simply made APHE fragments carry momentum from their parent shot, the current implementation would be fine.

1.2 K votes in English forum and only 400 in Russian forum, in other words if anything, it’s English forum to bring the 52% rather than K2’s opinion, where in his own recent video he quite literally mentions it’s everyone’s right to vote what they think for.
Already misleading, look at Paradise’s opinion to vote “yes”.
In my opinion in no way a man should watch a video instead of deciding himself, so saying people should help you instead is doing very same thing content creators do.
Additionally you didnt even show the video or brought up good points of K2’s, in other words you’re just as bad as him for simply suggesting others to vote “No”.

Just funny to me how first he proudly claimed to RESPECT the majority vote, but as soon as it went the “wrong” way, he started to REEE louder than anyone.
PS. I don’t agree or disagree with anyone here, as either way gaijin will find a way to fuck it up as always, so i really don’t care anymore.
This is not a game mode i enjoy and i was waiting about a New feature for all game mode that i found more hyping
They aren’t programmed correctly from what I remember. The shape of the tip is not taken into account
only bad updates lately, when a good one comes out, the kids vote no

He litteraly insults in both his videos everyone who want to say yes - “but it’s up to you” lol.
believe it or not people are in fact capable of individual thought and can make decisions on their own.
I have more than 9,000h and I’ve been watching the evolution of the game since 2015.
I don’t think it’s bad that some things are advocated for realism. But in certain aspects of the game, as in this case, they should not be touched.
What is my point? Well, there are changes that complicate the game unnecessarily and add a rng component that only makes the game more frustrating because it does not depend on the player but on what the game decides, as has already happened on several occasions “Besides that this kind of complex things only bring more bugs”. We only have to look behind and see how the volumetric armor works, which, to be honest, is still extremely inconsistent. The Over presure so polemic that in spite of its rework is still giving problems. The change of the TOW missile physics, which complicates it more than necessary and makes it more frustrating than enjoyable this type of vehicles. They are cool changes, that at first glance you say “Wow how cool”, but really what it does is to make the game more complex, more prone to have more problems, and ultimately less fun and more frustrating.
That’s precisely what a game is about, to be fun and not a constant suffering as this game is becoming with each update that happens.

All of that to say you didn’t read the post, or understand the poll is for a test that would make said issues with an APHE change glaringly obvious if they exist.

The Guy is saying that gaijin should better works on overpressure and atgm than this thing if im right, so basically he then readed and his awnser was no

Overpressure works fine in my experience, and I doubt the same devs working on the APHE rework would be able to do much in the area of missiles given most of that is netcode.
No mate overpressure doesnt work fine, im killed in maus by HE, even shooting in the Big gun tube Can kills it, and HE looks a bit of gambling sometimes, you Can believe me i play 2c bis, sturm and maus i’ve seen dozen of HE
