Gameplay quality > historical accuracy.
We already have a plenty of vehicles modified to be unhistorical to an extent, because otherwise they would be game breaking.
I believe this is a perfect scenario to do exactly that.
35/37mm APHE is just insanely cancerous

Nah. Never going to happen and never should.

Smart changes > really dumb kneejerk changes
Summed up my point exactly.
But like I said, I don’t care if these nerf happen or not cuz I am also the one abusing it lol. No nerf? I keep printing SL. Nerf? Yay 8.3 is fun again.
“I don’t like that have to think”
how? it has barely more pen than a 0.50 cal and they fixed the overpressure stacking that used to make it decent against tanks
Actual arguments > “no u and what you say is stupid”
Everyone knows 35/37mm APHE is overperforming, it needs changes.

If you read anything anybody was saying, nobody is disagreeing that these spaa need changes. Some of us just aren’t presenting highly illogical arguments to fully remove aphe because we weren’t clever enough to come up with anything else for an idea.
oh they did? then never mind then. I heard that it used to overpen everything but I did not know that they fixed it.
I see you OP, trying to sneak-in the option to raise their BR, thinking no one would notice.

Most people did, but it is not the best of ideas.

Well, the root of the problem is APHE. There is literally nothing else you can do that doesn’t involve reworking the entire shell mechanic which we all know won’t happen.
You also can’t bring them up in BR because it will just make them worthless and even more Anti tank oriented.
It’s either you remove APHE or nerf the HE filler to the extent that it barely deals any damage to modules that weren’t hit directly, both of which will be obviously historically inaccurate

*How armor is programmed into the game
So, we can use our noggins and gather that the fix is to… fix aphe, and not just remove it…
They also aren’t going to remove aphe. Same logic. Figure it out.

nuh uh
The last proposed APHE “fix” turned out terrible and got rejected.
It would pretty much kill of some tanks like 75 jumbo while doing nothing to those 35mm SPAAs as they can just spray&pray a billion shells at you until you eventually die.
APHE on autocannons will never be balanced as long as they can actually pen you.

fixing that will still not save you, more than half of the kills I got are from cupola shots, which isnt an armor bug
That is not shell overpreforming. It is not a spot where you can cause damage in any normal situation. It is 95% server being overloaded with the amount of shells hitting the same spot, failing to calculate.
It is a well known issue.
Here we call it, getting gaijined.

I don’t need “saving” as I’m playing 8.3 and have no issue with SPAAs
