Absolutely, HEATFS may be viable at certain BRs but when you deal with tanks that have ERA and composite armor that makes HEATFS obsolete the experience just gets more difficult, this was one of the worst changes and the fact it’s still a thing annoys me so much, Gaijin has made significant progress and I hope that this is reversed soon, they know that this was a bad change.

Theres no way to keep heatfs at this stage
Its useless
as long as it brings them money to have a trash round for starters, there is little chance that it will change.
just think what the community had to do to get some quality of live changes.

Yea. It’s the reason why ive boycutted top tier for years… Im not going to suffer through the pain of Stock-HEAT at BR 9.0 or above.

Seems like stock APFSDS has been added to Rank VIII tanks of some nations in a recent dev server update. Here’s hoping it’s still WIP and won’t be limited to the few vehicles at that rank while Rank VI and VII vehicles continue to suffer with stock HEATFS.

Nothing puts me off playing the game more after unlocking a new tank like dying 15/20 times needlessly trying to unlock a dart round whilst waiting for a light vehicle to come across instead of an MBT covered in ERA and composite armour… I’ve easily got over 8/10 vehicles sitting there stock because i know that I’m just gunna loose my **** by simply playing with a trashy round.

where do you see that? I just checked and they all have stock HEATFS
actually as a matter of fact I kid you not you have to unlock R-60s on the MiG-29 before you unlock R-60Ms. so they are doing basically the same thing to top tier aviation. They also most of the time have a tendency to give you HE as a starting ammunition type for top tier naval.
It wont be implemented to the live yet itll be dev
If not at all rn it should be a verbal thing just dont know where
No I checked the dev server.
Sadly i dont think anything will come from this.
Pretty much the only thing that made them do something did need a massive rewiev bombing…

How else are they going to suffer you into paying?
@Smin1080p sorry for tagging you!
I have a question for which I was instructed by a Forum Moderator to address to a Tech Moderator, who instructed me to address to you, so… anyway;
In the Dev Server, some tanks (Ariete AMV, Merkava Mk.4s, Type 10s, Leclercs) have received stock APFSDS; but the rest of the Rank VIIIs have not.
I was wondering- is Gaijin addressing this matter by implementing stock APFSDS, or is it a Dev Server bug/glitch? In case they are actually and finally addressing this matter, is it planned as a solution for all nations, or just those that have received the correction in the Dev Server as of now?
Thank you in advance and sorry for the disturbance!

We made it; stock HEATFS is no more for Rank VIlI MBTs!
I want to thank everyone who supported my Forum and Reddit threads and Gaijin too, for listening to us.

It did, indeed!
Yet another huge point to add to the 2023 tribute post I am preparing for War Thunder ^^
(I will include all of the positive additions and changes over 2023, and this change will be one of the highlights!)
great, but what about Rank 7 ones?
