its almost as cancerous as hull break mechanic. if i shoot with my 20mm against the gun shield of a su-100p, and hte first message that pops up is “shell shatter”, then sorry, but you failed as a developer and need to remove this game breaking mechanic. its rediculous how against some of the easiest pennable surfaces, any kind of shell receives a shell shatter.
ever since gaijin introduced the apds changes in mid 2023, shell shatter has been a bane to almost every vehicle that uses apds or apcr. first you introduced it in an extremely buggy state, where apds would shatter against multi layered armor, even if they were right on top of each other. this made fighting tanks like the m4e3a2 jumbo atrociously tiresome. and now you continue to use this game breaking feature, as the calander turns to 2025.
why are you not listening to your community, gaijin? stop listening to the demons in your subconcious mind. this game used to be fun, but you keep adding more complexity, to a game that cant handle it. most of us seriously dont care that every minute detail is exactly like real life. we play games to escape real life, not to extend our tired lives in it. i just want to kill some freaking tanks without questioning if the shell will even do anything. its bad enough that since the APHE changes, a fourth of my shells dont even fuse any more.
Maybe, just maybe, because in this game everything is suposed to work just like it would in theory. Technical failures are not included. That’s why APHE’s fuse never fails, but at the same time APDS shouldn’t shatter if other shells don’t have shell degradation modelled either
Instead of this , should have asked them to buff most shells all across the board, beside APHE and everyone will be happy. We don’t need to remove this or that
So instead of removing a mechanic that doesn’t improve the game in any way, disproportionately nerfs one of the worst nations in the game, and doesn’t have parallels to reality, you would rather them modify a dozen different shell types with wildly differing damage methods to meet an arbitrary bar of ‘buffed’ without changing the balance of the game. Not remotely realistic ask.
again , this is a game , stop coping. Stop asking for stuff to be realistic , it is a game. It is always better to buff everything so everyone can have somewhat balance experience. Not removing this or that to please a single nation and a group of tank then maintain the status quo. Move forward with many step not one step then stand still , ask for the right thing not ask for something that play a small part in the bigger picture
This is a game based on reality. Or did you think the thousands of tweaks they have done to make things more realistic were all improvements for gameplay? Your ask is WAY too broad and will just be ignored. Ask for things that have a chance to be done otherwise there is no point in asking.
Yeah sure bro , anything else beside it being “more realistic”. Le shell sometime just doesnt fuse when penetrated , engine sometime broke down cause of the climate they fighting in. Bringing up APHE to reinforce your point is just peak brainlet. Sure , go ahead , they gonna listen to you surely
If one exists, the other should. That you think that one shouldn’t, then the other shouldn’t. Doesn’t take more than a single logical step to understand this.
Your other suggestion of engine breakdown is your own, you can quit the straw man attempt.
It is not very realistic at all, a few moderately good models of vehicles, some noises and a quick skim over of supposed realistic ballistics does not a realistic game make.
i just want gaijin to stop pushing realism where it shouldnt be. this is getting more annoying than fun. a bf109 just slightly skimmed my zsu 23-4, and a single bullet hit my turret. no one injured. but my entire tank was disabled, and i had to repair it for 20 seconds, because that 1 bullet hit my control panel thingy. it was so messed up. gaijin really need to stop adding realism. we have a simulator mode, gaijin should improve that mode, making it more accessable to the majority of the playerbase, and let them have that annoying realism.
