If APHE won't get its realistic nerf.. then it's time to unrealistically buff AP

Did you grab the Char’s partner in crime?

Spoiler

Nope. I have sadly missed both french battle pass tanks. Which honestly sucks because I only really play france and I have the T10A and the centurion battle pass tanks. And I don’t think I have played any of them

Could we not realistically buff Solid Shot instead? it seems like a smarter idea to me
Especially as it is woefully wrong in game

We can’t, the devs easily could. AP caused significantly more spall back when France was added to the game, for example.

Of course, if the devs wanted to, they could do things right, making all the ammunition do realistic damage. The problem is that it’s work, and since it’s work that wouldn’t generate much money, it’s not worth it. With the game as it is, they sell quite a few premium items, including those that are just the same premium item with a colorful skin.

Ho-Ri Prototype Wiki:

A special feature of the Ho-Ri is its elevating roof armour, to reduce its vertical silhouette, the cannon breech can elevate up, pushing the roof with it, to allow for the -10° depression it offers, this will expose the crew members but won’t be much of a threat as it’s a very narrow-angle for planes to strafe through, and it doesn’t cause the crew to be affected by explosive overpressure.

Meanwhile some vehicle mounted APHE dakkadakka to said gap:

Community wants larger maps, 0.7 br match making, free fpe and parts, artillery optics, realistic turret baskets, buff to the abrams armor, the epublic of Chinas flag, zt4 for thiland, but we cant have these, but on the aphe being unrealistic now we gotta listen to the community, this is just cherry picking on gaijins part

No, a vocal minority wants larger maps. I’m part of that vocal minority FYI. But I’m under no illusion – most people prefer quick action.

I’m part of the community and I don’t want that. I’m fine with regular decompression.

You must be joking.

I think you are severely overestimating how much the actual player base cares or even knows about this stuff. Forum/Reddit users are a tiny percentage of the playerbase and also not a representative sample since the average player just plays the game.

Of course they cherry pick that one out, since it’s about monetisation and they’re a business.

The actual reason we voted for APHE is that, especially after summer 2023, they don’t want to take responsibility for controversial decisions that they also don’t have a particular stake in. For example, with the VT4, they had a stake - not pissing off the large Chinese player base or drawing the attention of the PRC government. But with APHE, that wasn’t the case, so they can dump the hot potato to us.

Large maps would be awesome man tbh

0.7 wouldn’t stop decompression it would likely lead to more of it anyways no

In the short term yes, though it would create other problems later on. It’s not needed because they’ve clearly been doing standard decompression fairly on the regular. I still remember what 6.0 - 9.0 were like just two years ago.

We went from 12.7 for air at the start of 2024 to 14.3 we have now.

Sure, we could use more decompression more often, but hey.
