leaving aside the fact that my leo 1 can barely pen russian tanks on uptier, they also get apfsds??? i thought this game was balanced and fair for all countries… i don’t undestand placing them at 8.3… this is outrageous since most mbts get apfsds at 9.0 or higher.Either raise their br or lower the br of tanks that dont have apfsds.

If your annoyed about 3BM-25, check its angled modifiers. It kinda sucks due to being a short rod APFSDS

does it even matter? since most tanks that aren’t russian have paper armor at that br

So the shell doesn’t matter because anything will pen? Why does the shell matter if that is the case

Italy gets APFSDS at 8.0. Possibly better I can’t remember.
Israel gets better APFSDS at 8.3.
China gets APFSDS at 8.3.
France 8.0.
Britain 8.3.
Germany 8.3.
USA 8.3.
T-55A’s APFSDS is on-par with Chieftain Mk3’s APDS BTW.
Most 8.7 APFSDS is superior to T-55A’s APFSDS, and ALL of 9.0’s APFSDS is superior to T-55A’s APFSDS.

Exactly. And around that br, armour matters far less

Sweden 8.7
I mentioned 8.0s and 8.3s since those fire ammo either on-par or only slightly better than T-55A’s.
Sweden’s APFSDS at 8.7 is WAY better than T-55A’s.

it has much better round overall and laser rangefinder.
Italy gets APFSDS at 8.0
9.0 outside of the AUBL74, which is a $100 marketplace tank. Bad faith as usual.
France 8.0.
False, 8.3
The rest is probably similar half true BS

Sweden, italy and japan are the only ones that doesn’t have a 8.3 tank with apdsfs, and none of them actually have a 8.3 tank. Several of those 8.3 and even 8.0 gets a much better apdsfs, not the glorified apds that the t55 use

T-55A’s 3BM25- 254mm.
T-55M’s M1000A1- 396mm.
That ain’t tiny.
Angled pen as always. statcard number / cos of angle.

Sweden gets M111/DM23 that’s designated as SLPPRJ M/80, with 337mm of pen (which is immaculately incorrect because of S-Tanks higher caliber length, therefore giving it more pen through increased velocity). It’s at 8.7, unless they moved the Strv 104 to 8.3 BR. Unhappily, I will say, that it’s can’t frontpen a T-72M1, except through weak spots, which it regularly sees in up tiers. Is facing APFSDS annoying, yes, but not as annoying as when in a S-Tank, because you still probably have a turret drive, and I have no engine :P, oh, also can’t forget the Obj 120 at 8.0 BR.
I mean compared to rest of 8.7 sweden
British also has a 75mm sportscar at 8.3 came unlocked with a better Apfsds right out of the dealership, it has higher angle pen, its a lot easier to go through the armor but the post pen damage is wack, still it’s better than what the T-55 has bro. And don’t forget the Germany M48A2GA2 lol which is also a 8.3 and it has a APFSDS that is still viable until 10.0, the performance of that ammunition is light year ahead of what the T-55 has.
If you don’t remember you are right not to write AUBL 74 HVG has a 60mm and his APFSDS has also been nerfed and against some tanks it tickles him.

AUBL’s 60mm APFSDS is still 284mm of pen, which is slightly better than T-55A’s.
T-55A is really good at penning Maus tho.

Not all APFSDS is created equally. It has poor slopped penetration, and also bad post pen damage.
