only ever encountered it when I managed to get hull down in
something like an IS-7 or S Conq. People who don't want to waste
credits on gold then resort to HE to chip away some damage until I
moved out of said spot. Rarely encountered it outside of situations
like that. People spamming HE at targets that they are fully
capable of penetrating with AP were just screwing themselves
because penning with AP almost always does way more damage than a
non-penning HE shot. They weren't the biggest threat to begin
with. Gold spam was and still is a far bigger killer
of armor than HE ever was. Neutering HE is just WG trying to get us
even more dependent on gold and to appease all the reward tank
drivers causing hissy fits over taking 130 damage from a big HE
shell derped into their impenetrable turret. I play a

Draschel: I am not against a sad sap spamming HE for
1/10th damage he should be getting instead by using AP or
premium I am against broken tanks like KV2, OI, OHO,
sU152, FVs getting their ridiculous damage in ways not possible for
other ammo typesI am against HE being resorted to, out of nonsense
in order to counter someone outplaying you by position. This
is horrid for gameplay.I am against the terrible unpredictability,
mechanics of HE doing 1 thing 1 time, then totally 180 degree and
doing something way different the next. The whole idea, of
removing the crutch, certain players and tactics heavily lean
on, that go contrary to normal gameplay. HE now forces people
to aim. And will reward them more for aiming. It removes
dumb side scrape track shots that deal ridiculous
impossible damage. But on the other hand, buffs HE consistency
even with smaller caliber, to when used proper, still
keep their utility and can be game saver
