Nothing wrong per se, im very happy it has APHE and APDS/HEAT as a backup.
Also uncapped, which leads to amazingly bad angled pen. Someday maybe WT will not make uncapped ammo useless.
279 is still an absolute monster, the way APHE normalizes against slopes, and the large diameter of the shell overmatches armor quite easy. Its gun is its greatest asset and I don’t think I would trade its APHE for a dart. I can’t think of anything (except for maybe a hull-down merkava) that can’t be deleted with it. Maybe the jet-black camo just gives me bonus pen, who knows :^)
Taking APHE as a main round seems ludicrous, but to each their own.
Commonly found rounds at 9.0 such as 105mm DM23 should be far more consistent than any APHE.

I found that its survivability actually comes from the engine power, which allows it to accelerate faster in reverse to escape trouble after firing a shot, given the same situation all my medium tanks will often buy the enemies enough time to shoot me through the front wheel.

I suppose doing more than simply aiming center mass is beyond the grasp of some players, but ill be enjoying APHE in the meantime.
In think it’s bad, 8.3 no apfsds…plays like the type 69 IIa, anemic heat-fs or nuke apcbc that lacks penetration
