take the mutant sherman as an example its not really a comet but it has fairly similar weaknesses with the difference being it has m82 and yet its still not a good tank
HMMMMM…
a tank thats shit because of 58 different reasons doesn’t become a good tank if you give it aphe funny how that works huh

If players decided what mechanics the game should or shouldn’t have based on fun this would be a World of Tanks clone, lol

It’s not a balancing factor.
It’s because the Tiger’s cupola is thin enough to let the shell in, but thick enough to not let it back out when it hits the other side.
That’s why stuff like the US 90 mm and Russian 122 mm rounds can just go through a Tiger’s cupola without dealing damage. Because in that case it gets penetrated through and through.
That’s why in some tanks like the SU-85M, you can almost safely expose your cupola, as even the US 75 mm cannon can overpenetrate it as it is only 45 mm thick, 90 mm total front and back.

New feature doesnt mean New vehicle, take for exemple fox3
what is the mutant sherman
Im sorry the game is too difficult for you when you keep getting onetapped by APHE rounds. Maybe if the APHE did less damage you would stand a better chance of surviving when u drive over a hill and get shot.
For sure It will be better, I never said It will be broken or super stronger. Im claiming the shell OP, not the tank
The last vote in April with crew shock mechanics. Tested, not deployed.

Maybe is better fixing first the problem we have in game (like APHE radius) instead adding you stuff or features. Or maybe they should both at the same time
If the game was so easy, the average WT player wouldn’t be so damn bad.
aphe shells are OP because you can hit weakspots with them and direct side shots will one shot! clearly this is unbalanced! we should surely nerf aphe instead of putting british shitboxes at lower brs and making poorly performing shells perform better! nerf nerf always nerf pls gaijin I love it when you take things from me

Hey you wont believe me ! That’s the exact thing i have been saying since 2 hours and everybody qshits on me (including you) except it weirdly looks like the New mechanic
Current APHE rewards them for bad aim anyways, so why should they improve? :P
It’s like the current situation at top-tier air. It is so incredibly easy to use ARH missiles, anything else is downright useless and skill almost never wins out.

Do tell me how you’d buff AP shells to make them as good as nuke APHEs, I’m certain you have a very brilliant suggestion

You dont get it, he installed the tank video game that advertises realism, that makes him superior to the people who installed the unrealistic tank video game

You dont buff a 76mm ap shell to have as good post pen as a 122 baby sized shell flying at you
you buff the 76mm ap shell so that it has considerably more spall in the forwards cone than the aphe shell, higher caliber AP shells already have that
as for the constant “MUH NUKE” you guys keep parroting the only aphe shells that are guaranteed to nuke things are shells with 170 tnt eqv or higher which will stay the same even if this change goes through
aphe shells with lower fillers are not nuke machines esp if the tank isnt cramped and you have good vitality crew

I mean, there was that poll in april about the stun mechanic, which would have helped solid shot a lot, but people were very much against it.
Reducing the BRs of bad solid shot tanks would be a good balancing point, but I suspect that gaijin isn’t gonna do that based on factors like armor and their all-important player statistics data
how does this translate into shooting the cupola or any extremity and getting a kill?

Because you treat this new mechanic just like a new feature, It is a fix!
APHE doest work properly! APHE overperforming as fuck! They are completely brainless shells. Im talking as russian, german and british player

currently AP shells do considerably more module damage than aphe shells. Much higher chance of knocking out breech, turret ring, engine, etc. The high penning AP shells are very good damage wise, such as french 100mm, 120mm, 17/20 pdr, etc
