Remove armor-piercing shells from all anti-aircraft guns

I request that armor-piercing shells be removed from all anti-aircraft guns, as they ruin the gameplay experience.
Example: 6 out of 10 battles at the start I encounter IPTSV or Gepard, which wipe out half the team. Is that fair? An anti-aircraft gun with 70 respawn points can wipe out half the team, and it has good mobility. That’s unfair.

Congrats. You’ve just made grinding SPAA even more of a pain

Anti-aircraft guns shouldn’t have armor-piercing shells; they’re designed to fight airplanes and helicopters, not heavy tanks.

So one player uses air in order to make people spawn SPAA and the other goes for them because they won’t be able to do anything about it

Besides, let’s say I wanted to pump up the 5-7 rank of Sweden, and what do you think, dear developers, should I put the talisman on the slow Strv 104,101 with poor damage or should I put the talisman on the IPTSV and mow down half the team and have good mobility? Please think about it.

I don’t think it’s a problem.

SPAA is inferior to all MBTs in the game at every BR they are at.
Removing their trash AP [that a number of them need to deal with planes more effectively] won’t change anything.

If your team is being wiped out by vehicles that are worse than the Olifant Mk1, that does not bode well for the optics of the situation.

So You are going to use SPAA that might be able to fight something if someone form the other team spawns air and be unable to fight any ground units?

I wonder how much SPAA You use as it is soo good.

You may be playing on a separate server where this is the case, but I play on a server where these anti-aircraft guns mow down half the team at the start of the battle and then fly out on planes. I’m not saying that this happens in every battle no, but 6 out of 10 battles are exactly like this, which spoils the feeling of the game. Because in the future, it will happen that in battles there will be only anti-aircraft guns and no one will take other tanks. You can take an anti-aircraft gun.

Why yes, if the team didnt manage to shot that box - its only fair.

So, them medium tanks should get their AP shells removed also? Because they were made for infantry offence support?
Or, should the light tanks only have smoke shells and HE shells as they were designed for scouting and protecting themselves against field cannons and infantry?
(Obviously not all of them but as class)

Granted but now everything has APDS belts.

Go cry about it in one of the other 10.000 threads about it.
Its not happening.
Go learn sourrounding awareness.
Nearly every nation has access to those spaas.
There is nothing unfair about it. Just play them yourself

And its not nearly as bad as the bmpt as example

Imagine my shock when
being shot by something with worse than leo1 mobility for >2-3s from an angle you werent looking towards results in death

truly a hard concept to fathom

ofc ITSV90 has the mobility advantage but its not like its gonna be hitting you with both guns unless you are actively trying to show as much profile as possible
