If you can’t beat them, join them.
The rejection of APHE changes has reset the status quo for the time being, so rather than laboriously trawling through primary source material and attempting to somehow prove that solid AP is perfectly fine then the much simpler route is to try and get that (historically correct) ammo put on British vehicles too.
And how a guy can take a 0.50 round to the head and only be ill
Adamantium helmets :)
I understand you, but the 6-pounder, the 17-pounder, the French 75mm long gun, and absolutely all the guns that only had Full AP in reality are left behind, because in reality Full AP ammunition was more than enough, and in fact lasted longer in service, making APHE obsolete. What an irony.
Don’t underestimate the toughness of human beings. They withstand .50 caliber bullets and when the vehicle they are in is hit, they don’t even flinch, continuing their work without wasting time.
Some great improvements for Challenger and Scimitar on Dev now thanks to community research, testing, and reports. This shows that real in-game changes do come from the CBR site.
Let’s hope that adding historical British APHE is being considered in the same vein.
Though also an annoying amount of nagging.
Nagging on which subject?
Challenger 2 fixes.
Scimitar does get mentioned quite often but doesnt have a dedicated thread
True, though I think it’s better for CRVT to be considered together, which is why we have the CVRT series thread.
It really does take community will to keep a subject relevant enough to gain traction with the devs, the turnout on the CBR for CR2’s engine power report made it impossible to ignore.
I hope this thread and its associated bug report are able to gain even a fracion of the CR2 report’s energy.
Completely unfair to nerf British tanks unnecessarily, give them their APHE. Why is it even a discussion Gaijin? Why do other tech trees get their normal ammo and not the British?
Because the British having anything good is against ToS.
Maybe due to ‘The Great Game’.

AFAIK, we are not allowed to get Brimstone(SAL) on our AH-64E in the next update because
‘They have JAGM(IR/SAL) which acts the same’
:/
In the name of ‘Techtree uniqueness’
Churchill Mk. VII being loaded up with AP and HE. Based on the appearance of the colouring, I reckon those AP rounds are fuzed M61.
Lt J Fothergill, B Squadron, 107th Regiment Royal Armoured Corps, 34th Tank Brigade, assists his gunner loading 75mm ammunition into the turret of his Churchill Mk tank, 17 July 1944. - IWM (B 7619)
And Gaijin is going to say that they are all inert and just made of cardboard otherwise they couldn’t hold the rounds or some other BS to avoid giving us APHE
Mix of 75mm and 17pdr ammunition. Not great quality but comparing the colours that looks like there could be some fuzed M61 in the lower-left pile.
Also, thanks to the wayback machine, I found this bug report from 2017 about this issue which gives yet more proof of the use of fuzed M61. - https://web.archive.org/web/20201112023714/https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/381445-id0062028-04oct2017-qf-75mm-mk-v-m61-rounds/
It’s sad the old forum is entirely dead now. So many lost sources people were happy to share or actually viewable in the bug report section.
We can collectively force them to bring back the OG forums. Most of the community will care about them
The content is most likely deleted, gone forever.
there is a good reason why thats not the case, maybe certain list on wikipedia tells you why
