Answer to 1.13

Draschel:  I am not sure where this school, camp, train of thought originated from. But it is most certainly wrong, untrue. Take an over-powered tank, like head on T95, hull down Badger, or Chieftain, or 279E. HE doesn't counter it or them. (Circa 1.12)  Sure, it annoyed them I guess. Half the HE they'd take to the front would be low damage anyway unless it were those huge bores (150mm)  But they then usually proceed to murder, with sustained DPM, not minor HE chip damage DPM, whatever is in their way, including that guy annoying them. Thats why 279E and Chieftain have great scores, and the idiots annoying them with HE, believing they are countering them, have poor scores. HE didn't counter 279E and Chieftain, unless it had 15HP left. Great, you countered it, in the 1 in 50 scenario. Buy a lotto ticketBecause of this fallacy, this nonsense, over powered tanks get even more overpowered and the trend perpetuates. Because they are shrouded in mis-information. Rather than competence and real problem-solving.  The countering, comes into play when as I said, bore size gets big. And thats the major fix 1.13 put in effect. People using Fochs 155  3x155mm HE shells, where they don't need aiming at all, and deal 500 damage a shot. KV2 and OI, just derping around. Chieftain or STB1, getting to great position properly playing their tank, class  -  then no aim-60TP just derps them in the face with no specific goal, but to random splash s--- for 200-400  That sort of stuff.  Good riddance.
