You two don’t make sense hard to understand and again and again claiming APHE is APCBC the difference is Huge in game because two of you have not much a … i will try explaining it with Baby steps
Germans use Armor Piercing Capped Ballistic Capped munitions with a High Explosive bursting charge
Russia APHE at the beginning was sharp nosed and had the unfortunate tendency to Shatter at impact so they chance it to APHEBC to prevent shattering in WT no such think exist with Rus Ammo
Lets go back for a moment to 75mm KwK 42 Long Panther Gun using APCBC with 28.9 grams explosive meaning is game behave purely because of this 29g no post penetration DMG remember that was one of the most powerful Anti Tanks guns in WWII
Going back to Rus Bias APHE behaving like a Nuke with post penetration dmg is the explosive that they have making Reality obselite ALVISWISLA babling about Name with 0 research only Name Stuck
So knowing well what is meaning of
APCBC
APHE
APHEBC
"Also the fact your post claims APHE has less pen than it should have after claiming it has more is hilarious.’ The only Hilarious you are here
In a game like this some thinks like this should be fixed how Sabot is shattering but aphe even if not penetrate yellow your Crew
APHE is even used in Planes and Jets and yes they are Lazer Accurate
That falls flat now though doesn’t it when many nations receive an ammo type they never used.
USA have a DM-63 German 20mm cannon round they never used it.
3BM42 was fine for 10.3 but now the tank has had it’s BR increased to 10.7 it doesn’t cut it
In what universe does that line of thinking even make sense. Gaijin balances according to statistics, so if enough people would intentionally throw in RU vehicles their stats would be lower and their vehicles would thus be buffed.
Id give up 3mb60 and stora for a .3 BR decrease to not see 12.0 and get dragged down by 10.7 premiums. 3bm60 isnt gonna make a huge difference and def not stora. You can watch thst EC video that i posted he said the same thing it should get a worse round and move down he even said the british one is better because it sits at a lower br.
Edit: sorry thought this was a different thread, so many crying about russia they bleed together in my head
It’s irrelevant when you only see up tiers though, 3BM42 on a tank that is pretty poor overall.
10.3 it was great 10.7 its 11.0 minimum and it can’t do very much vs the superior Russian and Western tanks.
Every similar Soviet tank with BM42 at 10.3 either lacks thermals entirely, or in the case of the TURMS, a 9.3 vehicle with a coat of paint.
The Bhishma is not held back by BM42, it’s held back by being a Soviet MBT thus trading everything for passive protection. BM42 is quite meh for 10.7 by it’s comparatively low pen but using it I find it’s damage alright.
Deep down the issue is that Gajin brought in the Bhishma to give the British lineup some variety, and the variety y’all got is either one of the most Challenged NATO tank in WT, or one of the worst pact tank.
