If players had their way a lot of mechanics wouldn’t exist, this means absolutely nothing

Aphe doesnt make it OP, just better. How many times you shoot the side part of a tank and killed 1 or maybe 2 members? APHE make a HUUGE improves because they are simply broken.
my appolocheese buddy thought you meant the atgm nerf
“Democracy is only good when people agree with me.”
I will agree, the ATGM nerf was dumb.
On the other hand, that was a change that Gaijin pushed through without a test or really telling anyone, and it’s only made worse by the server hamster dying constantly.
Being able to vote for a test event for these new mechanics is clearly a mistake, when instead it should’ve been a certainty with a vote afterwards.
…And also the Type 60 ATM’s missiles have always been consistently bad. The slowest ingame besides those Swedish Heli missiles, I believe :P

Democracy isn’t good when it comes to game mechanics and the direction of the game, the votes are unnecessary and only lead to dumb briganding by content creators (as had happened with the radar changes)

Plot twist: you can flank even with medium tanks, not only with fast or small one. And in every single game you can find a tank thet is turned in another way, So i really dont undesrtand what you are talking about

yes, you can also win the f1 cup with a shitbox bmw if the f1 drivers are blind and make severe mistakes doesn’t meant the bmw is a good contender or would be good if you put a v12 inside it

That’s how democracy works. You either convice people it’s a good change or you don’t. Apparently, most players think it’s unnecessary to nerf APHE, contrary to what the vocal minority on the forums and reddit believes.
Why couldnt we say also that the persons who voted yes did it because they would act skilled ?
No, because you guys are talking about feelings without testing the new mechanic. As the post said ‘‘it will be a test’’. Probably is too hard to understand

Objection ! It’s true if german player
As I said before, it’s stupid to do it with game mechanics, shouldn’t have been a vote to begin with, of course players would vote for an easier game

Another useless example made by you. Good job! Here a medal for you!
And again “no” voter could have done it because they would rather gaijin making another feature /patch

Cupola shots in War Thunder are purely artificial balance factor.
The armor in War Thunder doesn’t bend like in real life. Even if you hit the cupola in real life, the angles and how the armor is layered will cause the shell to go up (the shell will always “choose” the easier path).
And even if you manage to shoot the cupola in such angle that it will be directly penetrated, the shot will pass the cupola and explode outside of the tank.
The Tiger I cupola has a diameter of 46 cm. The APHE shell explosion delay is set to 1.2 m (it should depend from the speed of the shell and the time fuse, but it’s simplified in War Thunder to 1.2 m).
The fact that the APHE shell explodes after hitting the cupola and before it travels additional 1.2 meters is artificial balance factor of the game. That’s why they even stated in the article:
when hitting protruding modules, such as the commander’s cupola, the probability of crew damage would be reduced.
They decided to keep killing at least the gunner from cupola shot purely based on game balance. So discussion about realism in this element of the game doesn’t make sense. If you want realism, cupola should be removed as a weak spot.
Even assuming that the shell is like a laser and always travels in a straight line (which is not correct), this kind of shot with the APHE shell should explode about here:
During the “Drone Age” dev server, the devs actually made APHE shells to behave like on the screenshot above. But players didn’t like this change and complained about it. If I remember correctly, this change was reverted and never even reached the live server.

In what is it shit exemple ? Try flanking a maus in t44
Dont worry, You will have a lot of new vehicles in the next patch :D HAPPY!
Maybe they vote this way cuz the current state is fun?? Ever thought about players wanting a game to be fun? This would be a huge gameplay change. It’s good that people get to have a say in it.
