I just forgot to finish what I was saying. You want to remove SPAA’s ability to play the game through any real means.

you can kill nearly all tanks by just spraying at their turret top, it’s hilarious and i love doing it
So can you maybe think of a way to fix this that doesn’t involve literally changing nothing about aphe and just removing the ability for spaa to interact with the game?
Yea, they are anti-air? it’s in the name? Most 8.3 games I hop into are just these “Anti-air” running around hunting down tanks lol, its funny
they can still kill planes… like they were designed to…
This is some really, really low IQ stupid logic. Sorry. Please come up with something that has you think more than half a second to type it out. Both IRL and in the sense that this is a video game, SPAA should be engaging AND killing ground targets depending on circumstance.
They were also designed to kill ground vehicles. Hence why you can sit here and whine about them using ARMOR PIERCING high explosive or ARMOR PIERCING discarding sabot rounds.

And die if anyone wants to go around the map, lmao
yes and these ground targets are typically infantry and enemy buildings, not laser enemy tanks and killing them from the front
You basically have no air kills in your XM246 despite it having proxy. Kinda shows how great those guns are in terms of accuracy, no?

Yes these SPAA should get nerfed, but removing all anti tank rounds is an overkill.
Either nerf the damage on 35/37mm APHE specifically or remove just APHE leaving the APDS since it’s not nearly as stupid.

Try again.
i think that round is exclusive to maybe the Gepard alone? not sure. The US’s 35mm Gepard gun does not get these rounds and honestly it doesnt need it either since the 35mm APHE is the meta
It would change absolutely nothing, because guess what, doesn’t matter if the damage is reduced, if you get spammed with like 50-60 of these shells you will still die.
Only normals tanks with normal reload would suffer from proposed APHE remake.
xm246 doesnt have proxy, xm247 does
It is used by every 35x228 KD gun. XM does not have it, as gaijin misunderstood the sources, and is yet to correct it.
No?
Yet it gets:
hence, it should be able to engage and kill armored vehicles. Get off this awful idea of fully removing the ability for spaa to play the game and you’ll get more support.
Plenty of Anti-Air had Anti-Infantry and Anti-Tank purposes or abilities. The Gepard had APDS (IRL, not just in game) as a defense mechanism. The M16 was called the “Meat Chopper” because of its Anti-Infantry abilities. The ADATS was designed to be both Anti-Tank and Anti-Air.
I perform plenty of Anti-Air in SPAAG. That said, there are also usually drastically more tanks I am able to kill than planes. Plus, the reward for planes is hot GARBAGE and actively discouraging Anti-Air play. So why wouldn’t I go for Tanks? There isn’t much of a point in not doing so.

Then removing APHE and giving all of those SPAA APDS belts should be fair.
Enough to kill MBTs side on and lights frontally, but it would no longer be able to spray&pray to hit some random pixel

APHE is a real round, used to fight ground targets and armoured air vehicles
