HE isn't the problem, gold is

Draschel: Well, he would be doing -more than-  he would, in the sceario with the E75 I showed, if AP, APCR were used. Very likely. And that is what pisses people off most about HE. A broken mechanic that does not require aiming.   WG is getting rid of it. Slowly, it has been a steady path over years. HE re-work from radius to line-of-sight sphere. Buffing spall liner, buffing large med kit. Arty rework and nerf.  Type 5 nerf.  HE splash drop off. Added spaced armor and thickening tank armor in general.  And now here we go again, another HE nerf. Sooner or later, HE will be to the point where it is strictly utility. And importantly requires aiming.
