It was changed to HEAT-FS for a “fair gaming environment”.

Don´t forget the NATO HEAT Nerf some years ago from 640mm Pen to 480mm now.
The value of russian Heat remained untouched.
Russians need a lot of balancing lately

All tanks* get HEAT protection.
Stop posts that imply all tanks in the game are Russian.
@halkad1 Cause 650mm was incorrect, & 550 is correct.

Russians by far get the best protection against heatfs across the board.

All tanks get HEAT protection, some just get way more than the rest.

Top tier battles are too quick, making stock tanks worthless to the team contributes towards this.

640mm was correct in the best case and gajin used only 1 source years ago.
Remember if you want something to be changed you need 2 sources in this game.
It was and is still a huge nerf to NATO tanks.
How are they going to get you to spend GE if you are comfortable with what you have though?

10.3 vehicles are commonly found with ERA or composite armor. Why are you forcing my team mates to be useless?
Something about progression and your tank getting better (playable) is satisfying. Renew premium pls.
After I ground out the M1A2 Abrams, I took a break from top tier and had a number of stock vehicles from 8.7-11.3 that I never played.
To the credit of OP I struggled with the Heat-fs stock round on many vehicles, on my first trip up to the top tier ground vehicles.
However, these days with the inclusion of many light tanks, AFVs and a more stable game client (in my opiniom) I’ve found the heat-fs shells to be quite capable. They definitely have limitiations but the HEAT-FS shells as they currently exist in game they’re hardly the handicap some people make them out to be.
Given the large variety of darts that vehicles have access to these days, I don’t see why some vehicles could start with a ‘stock-tier’ APFSDS round as well as a Heat or HE.
I don’t consider it to be a serious issue though, more a matter of taste.
Do you use HEAT-FS at top tier instead of APFSDS?

I take 50/50 and load heat as my first shell for light tanks. I typically enounter them before MBTs and then I switch back and forth as required.
Vamilad, you necro the thread after stock APFSDS was added for top rank tanks 😂
RISE DEAD THREAD… RISE!!!
I’ve been told repeatedly to use threads for which the topic was already created.

There comes a discussion of what is considered “top tier”.
Better than an arbitrary rank let us examine the technology of tanks.
At 10.3 onwards every MBT on every nation is resistant to HEAT-FS. Every nation has composite armor at some point in their tank. Some include ERA on their sides further negating even the possibility of flanking shots.
Given you are already contending with tanks that will have better speed than you, access to thermals, access to better ammunition. I find no justification for the base round of tanks of such BRs to not be the minimum penetrating APFSDS round they would have used in real life.
