Update 2.39.0.53

[AlvisWisla]

No it doesn’t.
It says that the solid projectile of APHE was added.
That has nothing to do with the APHE changes that’ll be up for vote.

They listened to us and they’ll listen again.

[duckmartin]

Mate i ain’t doing any such thing am just saying that they were sopose to do an in game event to test the change’s and then a vote afterwards if players wanted the change. Instead they forced pushed out a part of those changes without a community vote.

[int_main]

calm down, no reason to be triggered about “changed shell that did not changed”

[markimash]

The vote was for the explosion effect. The post pen fragments was never on the vote.

[LostPlayer2023]

And again you didn’t mamaged to fix the pack puma driver bug

[Stona_WT]

@duckmartin

It literally says it has been added there not doing the testing they said they were going to do v an in game event. They went against players wishes anf pushed it into the game and not giving a dam about players choice v a vote !!

Please stop making things up.
Please re-read the article:

Following the Roadmap: Voting to Test our Proposed APHE Shell Changes

[image] Today, we’ll be talking about changes to the post-pen effects for APHE shells used by ground vehicles that we plan to introduce into the game. We’re ready to show you what we have planned here, and at the end of this news post you can participate in voting for or against — whether there’ll be changes or not all depends on your vote. Let’s take a look! Preserving fragments in the head part of the shell First off, we’d like to tell you abou…

Literally first sentence after the introduction part says:

First off, we’d like to tell you about a change that we consider necessary and will be implemented into the game without any vote.

US chaparral still has smoke on its smokeless motor missile.

[Cpt_Bel_V]

Ok,… whatever,…

You’re wrong and blind yourself about it, but hey no problem take a turn left and go back to none-sense, just like you would pick the milk.

→ read and inform yourself, that part was not up to the vote, and yes this is a buff as of now APHE will continue to pierce up to the ennemy engine, while killing 3 out of 4 people in the tank, and having an higher chance to hit an Ammo rack in the middle.

@int main

you mentioned that tend to do funny damage.

When/where?

If you try to make him say some words he didn’t-> be prepared and quote.

Spike LR2 missile — armor penetration has been increased from 700 to 910 mm.

Very nice! A step towards fixing the Spikes!

[Ghostiieya]

Next fix in 2 years :)

[int_main]

Actually it is you who cut off the “quote” to alter the meaning.

@Cpt_Bel_V

@int main

you mentioned that tend to do funny damage.

If you try to make him say some words he didn’t-> be prepared and quote.

Actual context: “…shells you mentioned that tend to do funny damage.”
Which means that I am saying that the named shells tend to do the funny damage, me and not the other user. And enjoy the quote of your reply you asked for.

[aLiVe]

It was clear that Arcade was teasing us.
We said it several times and the realists were all over us.

They always said they were going to make this change and significantly buff APHE. The vote was whether we wanted a counter nerf to this that we would get to test first. That was what was voted down.

Eventually this will be fixed as the APHE tanks are all rebalanced at higher BRs, but for now they will be significantly more powerful because that’s what players voted for.

They may try to put up another counter nerf suggestion, but they’ve committed now to that only coming in if people vote for it, which they won’t, so I’m not sure that matters anymore, really.

@Stona_WT

Following the Roadmap: armor-piercing high-explosive (APHE) shells — the warhead now remains intact after the shell explodes, provided that the mass of the explosive is less than 1.33% of the mass of the shell. This means that in these cases, the warhead will now act as a mini-AP round inside the tank after the initial shell penetrates the armor.

And what about APHE rework? After the Dev Server was closed and the update launched we haven’t heard anything about planned tests or changes.

@Stona_WT

Dispersion fields from secondary fragments in AP caliber shells — the armor penetration of secondary fragments when a shell penetrates at the limits of its armor-piercing capabilities (for example, when a shell penetrates 284 mm of armor when its penetration capability is 286 mm penetration) has been increased. This means that in these cases secondary fragments will now penetrate more inside a tank and do more damage.

A sad excuse for buffing APHE?

I mean sure, AP should at least be able to kill vehicles instead of painting the crew in different colors.

Perfectly balanced

Just make AP shatter into pieces instead of staying as one solid block.
At least some large metal junks would have a chance to take out some crews.

The trouble with promising, absolutely, pinkieswear, that any future APHE rework will respect the result of a majority player vote on it is it is going to kind of disincentivize them from ever doing one. Why do all that work if there’s at least a 50% chance it could all be a complete waste of time? I suspect that will be pushed off now back into the land of “Soon” and they’ll leave it more to BR rebalances instead. But we’ll see, I guess.

@KillaKiwi

Before today a frontal centermass APHE pen would kill most of the crew, but if you had two left the engine would still work. Now the engine’s dead too. Should be a significant improvement to frontal OSKs for a lot of US/GE/RU mid-tiers. Which is what players said they wanted. I’d just roll with it now. BRs will catch up eventually.
