The voting has been compromised before it even started. It shouldn’t have been a vote. Most people will inevitably vote based on how it will affect the meta and if it will benefit their favourite vehicles.
As you can see Russians will of course vote against it, as it will massively nerf their tanks, for example T-54s and T-55s. On the other hand Brits will vote for the changes, since it will massively buff their tanks.

it would pretty much “nerf” every shell with big explosive mass
I don’t feel like this should have been put to a community vote, something this game changing that invokes more realism and make things more enjoyable for people that actually care about aiming instead of cupolas

Indeed.
Gaijin’s vision of the game is clear, and it’s what attracted most of us into the game:
-Realistic and authentic physics, damage models and mechanics.
-Arcade gameplay for easy and convenient entertainment.
This is the literal recipe of War Thunder and the whole selling point and premise. Matters like these should not be subject to voting. It’s not like an economy or research matter that can be subject to subjetivities.
People who want to turn it into WoT are going against the main principle and very pillar War Thunder was built on.

Funnily enough, from the thumbnail I understand that this Russian CC implies that these changes will make War Thunder turn into WOT, because of less one shots.

XD.
People in 2014:
“Hey, look at this new game, War Thunder! Unlike WoT, it puts emphasis on authenticity; here, you have to actually target the ammo or crews to destroy a tank or deal meaningful damage; that is so good! No more kills by hitting random empty plates just because the HP went down by merely hitting them!”
People in 2024, apparently:
“I want to be able to auto-insta-kill tanks by hitting the edges of the corners of their cupolas.”
Anyway… I will better stop commenting, because I am heating up by the second and I hate being so blunt and sounding mean, xD.

Dopamine is one hell of a drug. One shot, one kill, big boom is more enjoyable than realism.
Also I imagine that the people who started playing this game for realism have slowly left it as the years went by, since cold war/modern tanks at WW2 BRs is widely accepted. They’ve been replaced by casual players who came to the game from watching War Thunder official youtube channel shorts (I don’t hate on these shorts, but you know what I mean).

Britain gave up all its land and air fillers before cold war for nuclear naval SAPs and the lancaster. Id say that chap, its a good deal.

Nope, they didn’t have it in service. The best they had was 2K12.
Anyway the addition of such systems is very unlikely.
Hopefully another surprise of this kind pops up in a few months too.
