Some tanks used to get APFSDS as stock but others did not.
So when people complained that it wasn’t fair, the snail agreed…and gave everyone stock HEAT-FS.
They basically evil genied the community’s wish.

Please tell my M60s and M1s that they get APFSDS as a default round, they’d love to hear it.
Until then, maybe learn a little bit more before you say something that wrong.
Yes i will be doing more research before i post now.
its 10.3… it was added at 10.0
i think every tank should get APFSDS as default if they can shoot it… lol
Stock grind should get drastically changed. Back in the days u where able to play 30 games to spade a tank and usually had a default APHE. Now u need Hundrets of Games to just unlock usefull ammo.
Wanting stock APFSDS at 9.0 is crazy. You’ll do fine with M392A2 and HEATFS until you get the DM23. I mean I really wonder what you struggle to pen at this BR as everything can be penned by even WW2 tanks. I can see struggle with T-72 and T-64, but I mean you can easily counter these tanks.
OF-40s are in my opinion just better Leopards.
I feel stock APFSDS should only become a thing 10.7+ when it actually starts becoming a very hard requirement for penetration.
You wont even find that much composite at 9.0, so just use HEAT to be honest until you get the DM23.
Ive been thinking and maybe making APFSDS easier to research would be nice. Instead if it being a tier 3 modification it could be a tier 1-2 modification. It already takes awhile to get tier 2 modifications so putting APFSDS in the tier 2 modification feels like it makes more sense then tier 3.
And, conveniently, that was a major buff to the one nation that slathers their tanks in ERA to a much greater degree than anyone else… hmmm.
Baccckkk in my day, we would take HE rounds in Chinese/Soviet MBTs while doing stock grind at top-tier. Least the top-tiers get stock APFSDS rounds these days. At 8-9 it’s a non-issue. Heck, some tanks like the Type-69 get an APFSDS so bad that you won’t even use it when you do unlock it.
