Trap shots with these shells happen a lot. I died to an ostwind 2 in an IS-6 multiple times because a shell bounced off my turret and penned the engine deck or something killing my crew. And it’s definitely not a server overload if it happens within like 5 seconds from when the enemy starts shooting.
It’s just how these shells work for whatever reason
IS-6 is hot garbage right now, basically a free kill outside of a full donwtier, what do you mean?
that’s hilarious
I’ve partly given up playing Sweden/France at 8.0/8.3 just because of the amount of autocannon spam that negates any advantage non autocannon carrying light tanks have in a 1 on 1.
which tank do u play at 8.3 if I may ask
Depends on the day, T58, Turm III, IS-7 when it comes to exactly 8.3
2 k/d is a mix of game where I either 1 death leave with no kills or I get 4 - 7 kills and maybe even a nuke a few times
Would you mind elaborating what this is then?
I dont think I need to also post the ± 5 Oerlikon Datasheets & Brochures to disprove your ‘interesting’ claim…
so you average 2k/d…
Again, 2 K/D is not abusive no matter that in 7 games You do nothing and then in 8th You get 16 kills
I guess majority of these SPAA spammer arent as good as I am. But as time go on and more of these SPAA flood in and people learns where to shoot, then maybe you’ll see the problem
No tank relies on APHE, and APHE would still be strong post-change.
Or maybe out of “x” games You were allowd in one to do good?
yea honestly my performance with the xm246 also depend on the map. CQC cluster fuck make it really easy to rack up kills. Longer range map makes the APHE lose their effective pen and I just die. That’s why my K/D is unstable
what? Sherman and other American medium tanks relies on APHE heavily as their main round, so do soviet heavies. British doesnt because they only use solid shot for a while.
They don’t rely on the OP nature of the APHE effect.
The rounds would still be potent with corrections.
this is less the munition overperforming and more the armor of the is6 not being very well thought out.
You hit 1 of 2 pixels, where the projectile is straight up ricoched into your hull roof.
lucky hit, not overperformance
Potent for side shots, maybe. But one major thing that we can’t do anymore is shooting Tiger cupola because the test footage from gaijin APHE rework, it wont nuke the turret anymore and instead it will only kill the commander.
I guess it would somewhat fix these 8.3 SPAA but I cant imagine the gameplay changes on the lower BR medium and heavy tanks against earlier Tiger model
Mw the planes: 💀
Players just don’t want to aim better on tanks yes, and also planes
They are also designed to defend themselves against ground vehicles, that’s why cannon armed SPAAG have the AP and SAP rounds in the first place - and in some cases dedicated secondary feeds with APDS.
