OK, since when did the OF-350M round have 21mm of penetration? All other HE rounds of similar calibre only have around 10...
This has better or equivalent penetration of a 105mm HE round
Edited for Naval and then forgot it was shared with a tank probably.
Speaking of mechanics sloppily slapped onto other modes without any adjustments at all, how about that non-existent spawn protection for naval vehicles?
You know, the spawn protection that only protects you for the full 10 seconds if you don't move after spawning in tanks but in ships you are spawned in moving at full speed so that 10 seconds is halved?
That shit pisses me off.
I think naval in general pisses a lot of people off.
Has there actually been any mechanic changes since it was released?
Just had one of my best games while doing special a special task for the TB-3

Meanwhile APHEBC is still broken af
Dear god these changes are going to give the stock Otomagic round at least 60 more mm of pen.
It's only going to nuke more things and I cannot contain my erection.

Now I can finally punch through a King Tiger's turret front with APCBC, no more shitty APDS.

Greetings, new War Thunder player! Welcome to French tanks! Two tanks have been removed entirely for being utterly useless, and one of your reserve tanks just better not even bother unless they can see the pilot's eyes through the viewport or you're shooting at something with cardboard plating.
Ah yes remove the H35 due to terrible performance.
You know the tank that impressed the nazis with how well it performed?
You'd only be able to pen tiger 2 turret at point blank with a perfect angle, maybe only when slightly above
Fuck. They weren't exactly amazing before but now they're literally unplayable*.
*for all new players
Q. How about the APHEBC? (a shell type some russian guns use). Is it going to be the same as APBC/APCBC now? It has had weird characteristics for years.
A. The slope effects for these rounds will also be implemented as they were for the APBC Shell.
APHEBC still has broke modifiers

remember there's rng on penetration values, so even at a slight angle at 500m you'd still have a chance

excuse the bush cancer :^)
Another well thought out, properly tested and implemented change by Gaijiggles.
One of the stupidest things I've ever seen Gaijin do. And I've seen a lot.
Good intentions. Great even. Normalizing penetration values to a consistent formula instead of wading through dubious and contradicting documents where every fuckin' nation uses different testing method? Surprised they didn't do it sooner.
Dropping the patch on a random Monday with clearly no real review, no warning, no APCR review, some vehicles completely untouched, no BR changes, realizing your dumb formula made French 100mm ludicrous and wimping out like a little bitch? fuckin' lol
What a mess.
i'm unconvinced it was done with good intentions; it allows gaijin to be even more lazy and frees up resources to pump out more half-assed shit with poor/no documentation, so my money is on greed
The cheese wedge spaa now has a pen of 53mm.
At first they were just annoying peppering you with rounds that could not pen, but now its hell
what were the old maus shell penetration values? or was it untouched
40mm
it's been like, what, 3 months since 1.85 came out and this is still unfixed

O man playing 7.0 france is now my favourite thing ever.
The Lorraine can front pen T-29's with standard AP oh lordy we bringing the $$$ now
I'm not missing out on anything by not having the FCM 36, am I? Would have tried getting it if I knew it was going to be removed from the research tree.
