So groupthink?

The funniest part is how many unskill players says that current oneshot from APHE is absolutely skillbased damage. And make it correct means make it unskill)))))))) 🤣

Exactly, if it was all 100-150k+ players then it would be much different

Turret I concede, but hull traverse kind of makes up for it.

It does suffer in cqc corner fighting maps.

Its job is to speed around the enemy team and take potshots from a safe distance like cavalry would charge into an exposed flank.

Also I would like to mention that the old vote was only seen by players active on the forums, which is not representative of the WT community as a whole. This time around it was posted in a more visible and public area with a greater reach.

“Re-Balance” (Change) of APHE. Gaijin still needs to fix AP most especially early APDS’s abysmal performance

497

Maybe idk by not making the problem worse? Might be a good start dont you think?

498

No it makes things more frustrating and annoying, which I do not want in my game, which I play for fun.

See when you say things like

When the vote for yes was 48%, that’s why people don’t believe or trust you when you say other things. Because they can see you don’t seem to mind lying to their faces.

The full changes equate to a nerf.

It equates to a bug fix.

It’s literally a documented bug.

Bug fix.

505

Oh that’s tragic

506

I play mostly on the British And damage enough to get kills and receive fun.

Oneshot in every pixel is dishonest and boring.

Volumetric makes sure it not a pixel shot ;)

It’s not a bug if the effect is intentional and part of the game design. The initial vote describes it as a ‘simplified damage model’ that is currently in use.

This is a nerf by every definition. Even if you want to call it a bugfix, it’s still a nerf, the two terms are not mutually exclusive.

If it were just a bug, it is something that would’ve been fixed without player input.

This is a suggestion. Not an actual bug fix. The game was developped with APHE working the way it currently does in mind, and now there is a vote to change that.

Not to mention that whether you consider it a bug or not, it still is a nerf.
