Does anyone think the OF-40 MK.2A should get APFSDS as the default ammo? I sure do i thinks its quite unfair every other nation gets it as the default round but italy gets APDS at first and has to grind to the 3rd research section to get it plus it costs around 9000RP. I know the APDS is historically accurate but also remember russia gets the obj. 292 at 8.0 with a 152mm cannon with APFSDS and other nations get APFSDS as the default round. If i got any info incorrect please correct me if needed.

The premium, and premiums get all ammo unlocked from the start
In fact all the Rank VII tank should get APFSDS as default ammo too,Stock HEATFS is just piece of sh*t
Edited: Well,maybe all the tank should get at least 1 kind of kinetic shell for stock(unless it do not have any kinetic shell)

Yes, at top tier. The Type 74 at the same BR has HEATFS as its default round.
its default round is HEATFS, but as it is a premium it gets all ammo from the beginning. Only Rank 8 vehicles have APFSDS by default.
Totally agree HEATFS is terrible
Sorry about all the mistakes i made
Only if it has two APFSDS to choose from, and HEATFS isn’t that bad. You get APDS as a Rank 1 modification, which performs well.
My experience with APDS is “SHELL SHATTER” on a slight angle and “NON-PENETRATION”. Once i nonpenned a xm246 thats how bad APDS is.
I use the same shell on the Type 74, and it is absolutely great. If you are non-penning, you are hitting extremely steep angles.
aka, skill issue. seriously no problem w/ later APDS
If it only have one APFSDS and other shells(and also don’t have APDS), the APFSDS should be stock
If it has another shell, then the APFSDS shouldn’t be stock. If you are actively struggling with later HEATFS or APDS then start flanking instead. These shells are fine.
If it has TWO APFSDS, then I can see an argument for one being stock. But not at Rank 5 or 6.
Maybe APFSDS should be a tier 1 or tier 2 modification so its easier to get because all the enemies i see have APFSDS.
Whenever i flank i get annihilated by those overpowered SPAA or some player using a overpowered vehicle like the Turm III
I’m flanking at 8.3 (which is where all the OP SPAA and Turm III sit) and you just need to be more aware, or take a longer/obscure flank route.
Thanks for the advice.
Rank 5 is fine and Rask 6 have chance to be uptier and face tanks with NERA or ERA,at that moment HEATFS are useless.Just image 400mm pen HEATFS face T-62M,T-72AV or even T-80UD
And in the past many tank have stock APFSDS and gaijin removed them for “balance”
Just flank. Or fire in the gaps of ERA. No vehicle in game has total ERA everywhere. Shoot the barrel and flank them, shoot their track and run, etc. etc. There’s lots of ways to take a fight with ERA tanks. I don’t need to imagine facing ERA w/ HEATFS because I’ve done it because I actively play the game.
Maybe i feel more pain because i play GAB main,there are less chance to flank in AB.Many times when i have to face ERA tank of something has a high CE during the stock grind,I may think “if i already have APFSDS ,that guy will die”.Then i image gaijin changed the stock shell and everyone got stock APFSDS, imo that will have a better balance and make most players more comfort.
