Well, let's see it from this perspective: While APCR ammo doesn't change anything when the vehicle gets downtiered (the AP-HE rounds do the job better anyway here), it changes a lot when you get uptiered, simply because now you have to rely on a shell that is highly unreliable. The M103 is simply unplayable without getting HEATFS. Without their top shells, these 7.0 to 7.7 vehicles are really nothing but overmatched M26 Pershings (6.3). In contrast, the German and Russian tanks either start with their best shell or have a very useful and effective shell by default. Even getting the M82 APHE shell, the grind through the M46, M47 and M48 tanks is horrendous, as the starting ammo types simply aren't effective against the tanks that they are going to face until they get their final shell, which is justifiable for their BR. However, most of the tanks start with a very weak stock shell (typically solid shot AP). The tanks are rated according to their best shell (and other factors), which is typically a HEATFS shell. The bigger problem with ammo choice is in most of the American tech tree. I agree that most players won't use APCR and 99% of the time it is inferior,but having the option does, in some way, justify the marginal BR increase (but this is debatable). It's not a monumental change, but it does make engagements possible (or at least, easier in some cases).

Nonetheless, APCR gives the players an option when engaging higher-armour tanks at higher tiers. Īnd two Tiger in the 5.7 using all the ammunition. We would have two Tiger's in 5.3 using only this ammo. Why? Simple, it is slow, tower rotation is slow, and KwK36 is already insufficient for 6.0Īt 5.7 it would be competitive again and probably would be better sold than it is currently. The Pz Bfw VI (P) is currently a punching bag in 6.0. It makes no sense, I understand that the Japanese are lacking in good tanks, but reducing the BR from the same tank to another nation has left many players thinking that the Japanese Tiger is pay to win, compared to German. The Japanese Tiger E is 5.7, why the same tank in the German tree is 6.0? This would prevent them from finding 6.7 tanks and would help fill the German tanks gap in 5.3 Tiger H1 and VK4501 could receive only the lowest penetration ammunition (PzGr) and have their BR reduced to 5.3 I'm sorry to disturb could you explain why? Why did the Tiger Porsche model (VK4501 and Pz Bfw VI P) not receive that ammunition? Recently, the Tiger 1 received a new ammunition, but only Tiger Henschel (H1 and E). With minor changes, we could have a much better balance. However here in the game it does not perform so well. Historically the Tiger 1 was a great tank, with a great armor and an excellent weapon.

But this will be different because I will argue the reasons in detail. Hello everyone! Probably you will say that you have seen several topics on this subject.
