solid shot has been really inconsistent for the 2 years i’ve been playing, gijian should try to fix solid shot and make it more consistent so that the nations that use it ( mostly Britain ) don’t have to suffer when there churchill either hits a tiger and bounces off a 60 degree angle or pens but does absolutely no damage

Yes I agree getting no damage on your shots is terrible. My proposal for more consistency would be this:
It would solve most of the problems and finally make AP viable again.
The death zone should detonate ammo too of course.

There seems to be modeling for the spall but none for the shot inside the tank itself
The one thing that i noticed is that solid shot has 2 different spall models.
Tanks who dont have stock solid shot, who unlock other shells, have the bad spall model.
A good example for this, are the americans. USA 75mmn Atrocious stock shell. Usa 76mm. Atrocious stock shell. Amx 13 75. Atrocious stock shell. British 2 pounder. Atrocious stock shell.
However. Once you unlock the next shell, its almost toxic how much of an improvement it is. Especially with the latest aphe changes, that makes aphe even better. Or the british 2 pounder. It has a selection of 4 solid AP shells. The first 3, its almost as if spalling was never implemented. But once you unlock the best solid shot, suddenly, the gun almost seems OP.
On the other side, we have tanks, that get only one shell, and one shell only. Usa T34. This shell has no problems spalling and 1 shotting everything it touches. France arl-44. Only has one stock shell. Has no issue 1 shotting panthers and tigers. CA lorraine. Same story. Amx 50’s. Lorraines. All tanks with a stock and only 1 solid ap shell, performing so good.
Yet everything that doesnt have a stock 1 shell option, suffer through a horrible grind. American 90mm stock grind. Solid AP. Unable to achieve anything.

I just had this idiocy happen in the Conqueror yesterday. Someone spawned a Panther G in an 8.0+ match as presumably a backup for something else higher BR. I saw his side plainly exposed. The APDS proceeds to only kill one crewmember and yellow his ammo, and he retreats into cover. Then I proceeded to sit there for several minutes pinging the map and communicating in chat until an A2D delivered a 1-ton burger to his postal code.
