HE changes have RUINED Derp Guns

Draschel:  Nope. By merit. But fools do not listen to merit. Actually, they do not listen at all. Only to foolery. Fools do 2012  2k damage in a tier X, 2021. Not so foolish, do 3-4k.  Here are the reasons, that I am sure many would agree with were problems::  HE spam, hurting your team with lethargy. Your team needs people, to fittingly use DPM, the right tools for the job. Not spam nonsense HE spam, using a general purpose damaging shell, regardless of aim. The bigger the bore, the more general the purpose and universal it works HE spam, spall liner not working properly. Now I think it has been corrected, with 1.13 changes. Dez gamez has a video on it if interested, pre 1.13.  Broken mechanics. Wouldn't matter if you hit gun barrel, or outer decals, or track belts. IE,  not tank hitpoint body. Reasonable, infuriating damage gets done.          Aiming HE is moot point, as even though aimed HE deals more damage, like a roof or engine deck strike, chances are that amount of aiming can be utilized using anti armor ammo, to              deal full damage. Again, laziness, Gtfo. Unreliability, inconsistency. 112 can spam HE vs Lowe, same spot twice in a row, deal 0  one time,  deal 200 the next. The most armored part too.           While AP or HEAT from 112 can certainly have a gap too, like 293-487, thats within the expected 25% width. HE could be 0, or could be 275. You never know. The enemy has 1,500                 HP, you deal 300 HE damage. The enemy has 25 HP, you deal 0 and it survives. Tank on cap has 15 cap pts up load HE and fire for reset. Tank has 95 cap pts, you have HE loaded                 and fire for absorbed, no damage no reset. The game already a rife slot machine, doesn't need any more of this factor. HE hits dealt zero damage quite commonly before 1.13 anyway, especially low bore size. By increasing potential for low bore size like 75+85nn to at least deal some damage,  IE  5-10 HP                   instead of 0, there is utility in them. But big bore size like 155, which WG clearly see people have propensity to spam, for no aimed damage  &  outer module hit yet damage,                             they came down hard on it. People are just panty in a knot because their 60TP, KV2, OI  can't center of mass anymore for respectable damage.Broken, number 2. Position, counters tanks. A bad player, in a good position counters good people, in bad ones. Great players, play lousy tanks like panzer wagon, AMX30B, WZ120 yet do                well, because they know position. Yet, bad players who bought their 260, 279E, chieftain, 907 Etc typically do bad in them, or at least bad for these vehicles typical scores, because                  they don't know position. Only by accident, freak occurrence, do they find themselves accidentally in good position, and do well. Unknowingly as why they did well. HE totally counters              position in the worst possible, laziest way. And the unreliability too, is7 hull down takes 800 damage from FV  1st time, then takes 250 the 2nd. It all links up to be problematic. A                        person, should not be thinking to engage someone in superior machine, in superior position frontally. With HE. They wanted this laziness gone.Broken, number 3, causing too many internal critical damage, even with low damage dealt. Grille splash strv for non pen, 350 damage but kills all crew?  lol?  WG specifically mentions the                  unfair, highly scrutinized Maus and jagpanzer E100 examples front turret or superstructure hit, causing engine fire below hit. They wanted this crap gone. Everybody did.Why have an  HE listed penetration amount, if the first thing it does is contact and explode, and penetrate or not. HE now accordingly performs like it should, it has a listed pen value.                            It strikes, tries to pen its listed value, then explodes. This is a great, new edition. HE isn't HEAT, it doesn't strike and fire form, detonate, until its listed penetration value             is                        consumed or its scores a body hit or is absorbed by spaced armor. And this isn't a debate over realism, go play War thunder if you want that. This is a debate of WG using its                            listed numbers
