Why dont tier 7 (10.7) tanks have stock apfsds

As it currently sits almost every single 10.7 match is an uptier thanks to the bmpt. Recentlty I unlocked the m1 abrams and the m10 booker. Exactly how am I supposed to deal with mbts and the dreaded bmpt that is present in every match? How am I or any person grindign a stock 10.7 tank that isnt sweden supposed to muster 10k or so rp to unlock the first apfsds in this environment when getting a kill is nearly impossible with a pathetic round like heatfs

You suffer.

I wish I was joking, but you genuinely have to suffer. For whatever reason, Gaijin still hasn’t given free APFSDS to Rank 7, even when every nation has tanks equipped with ERA. It gets even worse when you look at tanks like the M1A1 HC, which doesn’t get stock APFSDS at 12.0.

At 10.7 and above where every nations tanks are covered in ERA to some extent, there is no reason that we shouldn’t be giving the weakest APFSDS round stock.

The again, it’s Gaijin. They only know how to make the game miserable for players while releasing $70 premiums that have hundreds of bug reports that have gone ignored for 4 years.

That’s the thing, they didn’t want anybody to grind it. They wanted you to buy the parts with eagles, if the parts is obtainable too easily then who gonna spend money? Nobody would.

Let’s be honest, they are business entity, not a charity to provide free unlimited fun. The boss just like any of us here, they have bills to pay, they wanted to live in a bigger house and buy Mercedes/BMWs and also maintaining a beautiful waifu and making sure she ain’t running away ain’t cheap bro

You just hope the HEAT doesn’t disappear on hit and mostly aim for the same weak areas as you would with APFSDS. Works just fine, though you might have to peel off the russian ERA first.

I’m squadron researching the Aussie AIM, which is my first squadron vehicle. As I get closer to finishing the research (71K to go!), I have been looking at its specs more. What is insane to me is that at 12.0, the same BR as the M1A2, Click-Bait, and Anime Abrams, which all have stock APFSDS, I have to suffer through HEAT-FS at the same BR. Only difference? The rank, which is quite symbolic in War Thunder, BR is what is important. Also, how the hell am I supposed to defeat a T-90 or smth that is COVERED in ERA by using HEAT-FS.

T-90 should be your least concern when you would be facing a BMPT. You won’t see T-90 in a down tier, but you would 100% see a BMPT in a down tier

Damn it, I just forgot that BMPT existed, I regret my researching choices.

M1A1 HC has the same problem.

Even with stock APFSDS, the more I research up the ranks the more O regret it. Modern tanks are so cool, and Gaijin absolutely fumbles how they woe and how the should play every single time.

When I get to top tier, I will probably play a few matches, realize it’s not worth it, and bring it only in customs or something. Then I will move to my next tree.

Suffer or buy the darts if you can’t stand the suffering anymore

They already charged triple a prices for premiums

That’s not enough. Have you went to the strip clubs to find out how much it cost to have a private dance? sometimes the boss wanna take the girls out so it cost even more. On top of that, as a parents we also wanna sent our kids to the top tier universities so they don’t ended up becoming a bum later in life. Also wedding anniversary is around the corner, gonna buy some diamond rings

These analogies make 0 sense

Gaijin does not have issues paying bills I can assure you. They are one of the greediest companies on the market. They’ll be fine if they give stock APFSDS to Rank 7 tanks.
