Good day everyone! In this message I want to raise the topic of the latest vote in our favorite game. I will try not to whine or hate the developers, but to criticize their decisions as adequately and deservedly as possible. In favor of voting to introduce a preliminary test for the deterioration of APHE shells in our game, 51% of players voted against it. 49% of players voted for the preliminary test. But what did the developer do? That’s right, I took into account the opinion of 49% of players and launched a test of the new damage of APHE shells. Dear developer, don’t you care what the majority of players think?!
Just imagine this situation: a presidential election is taking place in the country. There are two candidates. According to the election results, one receives 51% of the vote, and the other 49%. Judging by the logic of the War Thunder developer, the post of president will be taken by the candidate with 49% of the votes. So why should we vote at all if the developer doesn’t care about our opinion?
Why does the developer not take the opinions of the majoirity players?
It’s called getting more information. There were plenty of youtubers out there saying that they were voting for the change and why. Leave it to the brainlets in this community to disregard 51% of the player base because of “muh russian disinformation”
The majority of people didnt read properly and thought they were saying no to all the APHE changes despite the fact that regardless of the vote the APHE buffs were always going to be added the option was would you like to test the fragment cone changes or not which would make APHE more realistic and prevent the usual aim centre mass and nuke everything which would bring APHE more in line with the other shells performance wise, still obviously better but at least you can survive getting hit more often.
The vote was brigaded by content creators that were directly telling people what to vote on.
a good majority of people saying no to the fragment zone changes were only saying no because it would make literally one vehicle slightly harder to kill which is the Tiger H1.
I like that Gaijin gave us a test as they should’ve without a vote.
They’re listening to the voices of all players, unlike other devs.
I’m glad Gaijin is giving us players the opportunity to gain information in spite of bad actors trying to get Gaijin to suppress information from us players.
@Uebermacht
I’ve had effectively no change in my PzGr 39 gameplay with the test.
It still one-shot everything? Good.
Thanks very much for the info.
Have you tried the Pzgr. Aswell? The one with the huge amount of HE filler?
Edit: the High HE filler Pzgr. also wont be that affected i think, because it kills by overpressuring most of the time, and as i heared, the overpressure mechanic was NOT changed.
What is your source? Just because players said that they didn’t want the change to come does not mean that they also did not want to test it. By the same logic, we should exclude a percentage of the yes votes for misunderstanding what they were voting for.
Yes, on both sides. That doesn’t matter. Players can make up their own minds after listening to different opinions. That’s literally the point of voting.
Not true. It makes a lot of vehicles harder to kill, notably also the Panthers. By the same logic, we should disregard the yes votes because a large section of the player base was voting just to buff a bunch of German tanks.
Read the thread that contained the initial vote there was a vast majority of people commenting that they had voted No because they didnt want the buffs to APHE not realising that those buffs would come anyway and they were actually voting No on the the Nerf to APHE
Since the vote was pretty much 50:50 just for the test, chances are the final vote for implementating it will be in favour of keeping APHE the way it is.
The players who voted no, won’t change their mind, while players who voted for a test might say no afterwards.
So I think it’s very unlikely that APHE is going to be changed anyway.
Pzgr 39 from the front one-shots everything due to exploding effectively between the forward and turret crew.
And from the side it still kills the crew it’s targeting, and might kill the entire crew with a shot placed between the two groups.
I haven’t tried higher-caliber than 88 cause I felt overpressure would just do it.
now you’re just coping and trying to find a way out of this argument you can just admit the vote was brigaded and people were mislead because they couldn’t read properly along with the lack of an option to change your vote
