The lack of love for WW2 Ground Vehicles

3.7 with equivalent of Pzgr 39??? Holy crap!

BR can still change in the future if the vehicle is too broken. Me personally I’ll probably stick with its HE shell.

There’s many examples of stuff just exploding for the heck of it when it gets shot. TNT doesn’t explode when shot, full fuel tanks don’t explode when shot, low caliber ammo belts don’t explode when shot, but Gajin disagrees and just ignores anyone who points out how unrealistic it is.

Thats why its so sad. Especially cal50 bursts (like a short brrrp) detonate every single bomb on your wing mounts and inside the bay.

When I brrp a bomber plane or bomb equipped striker they just detonate midair like a weapon factory.

Also 20mm ammunition boxes won’t explode…but still ingame it makes boom like…i dunno Gajin needs to correct some things for sure.

Almost like when you force people to play BRs infested with seal clubbers, nobody wants to go back to it. Hell, even I view it as a waste and gets in the way of grinding. Maybe if Gaijin allowed us to start wherever we wanted (break it up into three categories: WWII, Cold War, Modern Era), maybe people (beyond seal clubbers and newbies) would play it.

you say it like addition of WW2 vehicles is bigger issue than addition of unneeded shit from 50-90s at those BRs. i’d drive IS-2/KTH/JagT/Sherman/JagdPz for months straight if these BRs weren’t trashed by HEAT rats and arty which, in addtition to the first problem, can survive APHE shots like crazy

I mean, that’s what you get with mouse aim so yeah.

hope not. it deserves TT

The Hummel specs are basically a downgraded version compared to the Emil and Dicker Max.
It only has 3 degrees of gun depression, a 10s reload, and no machine gun at all. I think its only redeeming features are the penetration and explosive filler of the Pzgr 39T. Since it’s a WW2 self propelled howitzer, this is pretty much unavoidable.

Dicker and Emil do not have mgs either.

Curious as to how the SAP (concrete) round would be used in WT. They gonna allow it to demolish walls and buildings?

Tank sometimes aren’t that different from a concrete wall sometimes

Same reason flamethrowers exist in WT. Sometime tanks are similar to pillboxes with a nice little window to shoot flames in.

That would be an extremely cool feature for high caliber vehicles in game.

No, obviously not. Not any more than a normal shell would.

I just imagined for a second what a future GRB would be like if AI Bunkers and Anti Tank Guns protected the tank spawns. But let’s be real, Gaijin would never do that lol.

They tested it in WWM, nothing changed.

This can eat a Tiger Pzgr. round. It’ll be fine at a higher br like 5.0-5.3 with a shorter reload rate.

Good old, no armor is best armor.

Funniliy enough, it wouldn’t have happened, if Gaijin went through with the APHE changes.

Because right now, they have this amazing concept that APHE will produce a lot less spalling than solid shot but then make up for it with over the top explosive damage sphere.

So against targets that won’t fuze APHE, it turns it into worse than APCR.

You are fighting a lot of vehicles that were using late 45->early 1950’s era technology. These were often evolutions of designs from WWII. Ex: The M46 is just the M26E2. Or the ARL-44, IS-3, and T-44, for example; all were early Cold War vehicles designed for a war they never saw proper combat in or any at all. Do your research before assuming.
