If by “not acting as a miniature nuclear bomb” you mean more crew will be yellow instead of orange like in the pictures above. You are over-hyping how much that will nerf APHE. APHE is going to continue to nuke tanks from the sides and front.
Ah, so when I shoot the cupola my “better aim” is being rewarded? No? I thought not.
It will damage components and crew more behind the impact point. It will no longer act as an omni-directional grenade. Stop defending this.
If you’re counting taking out the commander alone as “better aim”, sure, go ahead. But the way things currently work does not represent good aim at all, and why on earth are you aiming for the cupola unless you’re using a vehicle you shouldn’t be facing the tank with from the front in the first place?
The game is not about aim and reaction time alone, it’s about strategy and positioning in combination with those two. It sounds like you don’t understand that, though.
so I’m assuming you voted yes? it will be just as effective after all
So that’s a no, my better aim isn’t being rewarded.
Shermans dont get that kind of luxery bud. I totally wish I could bring a Super Pershing to 6.0 but I can’t. Sorry if you think the only right way to destroy a tank is penning the UFP.
I just got a nuke in the Panther F. I understand it just fine. And there is only so much “strategy and positioning” that you can do when Gaijin nerfs your speed and your stabilizer and cuts off entire portions of maps to take away flanking positions and makes 3-Lane maps.
Great misrepresentation, just like everything you’ve said.
It is being rewarded. You shoot the commander’s cupola, the commander dies.
M51, any 76mm Sherman, M4/T26, M4A4 SA50, M4 FL10, M4A3 105 (french AND USA), Firefly family, hell, most of the 75mm Shermans get pretty potent guns for their tier combined with stabs…
Speed and stabilizer nerfs? Can you show me these patchnotes?
Not a bug
Have you considered rolling back the changes made to missile vehicles? The changes to missile vehicles have caused all missiles to drop as they leave the launcher, resulting in them landing on the ground even if successfully launched, with poor maneuverability making it almost impossible to hit the target.
American mains not wanting this change is just HILARIOUS.
Imagine how much less of a pain in the neck M60s, M103s, etc will be to play without the huge, poorly armored cupola tumor sucking up every APHE round in a 5 mile radius and turning it into a crew nuke…
This has gotten me to wonder what the Russian vote says, and if there are any differences in wording between the EN and RU polls.
Removing crutches and gimmick shots is a good thing actually.
Given some of the responses I have seen here, on reddit and other places i dont think a lack of reading comprehension is a CIS specific issue but go of ig…
Oh my god, the ones who voted for the change were just winning a few hours ago. Now the tables has turned again
British mains! Come over and fulfil your duty!
8.3 onwards brits doesn’t care about aphe anymore lol
Bro you have no idea how much of a flaw cupolas are, with skilful players your whole tanks armour are rendered useless.
APHE shells do not behave like a circle of shrapnel, so I would like it changed. The change will bring it to a similar level of solid shot to even the plain field abit
No it won’t.
I just love how the majority of posts here are absolutly Salty, in both directions.
(Befor anyone says something, i dont care, i voted Yes, because i find it interesting to at least look at it and compare it.)
I said similar level, not the same. It will have explosive damage but now with more shrapnel focused to the forward direction.
ikr, it is good fun reading the comments
