there's literally zero connection between realshatter and aphe besides the fact that they affect post-penetration damage the APHE changes are about the round travelling more inside the vehicle before exploding, and then exploding in a cone pattern (similarly to what we already have on Swedish vehicles) Realshatter was a reduction in spall created by rounds going through the airframe of aircraft (rounds with big HE filler were less affected by this change, as the video points out)

@@wallachia4797 “there’s no connection” one was broke on launch and still is. Aphe will be broken on launch and for months/years after. They changed how HE on smaller guns such as aircraft cannons to be less spherical. Now they change aphe to be less spherical in damage. It’s the same system on a larger scale. And it will be broken on launch. One was a nerf to the amount of damage when a shell detonated and now they want to reduce the amount of damage when a shell detonates. It’s the same concept on a different vehicle lmao realshatter was made so aircraft damage would be “realistic” (it wasn’t and it was never implemented right anyway) and now they want to change aphe (change the damage model to be more “realistic” when time and time again gaijin has proven that they will NOT improve the game and now an entire section of their game is now unplayable because of how poorly they implemented their said “realism” change).

@@thegrubhubguy638 If you wanted to make a "broken new feature" comparison, you could've much more easily plugged in the addition of volumetric, which has only gotten more broken as the years went by. Realshatter and APHE are not the same

@@wallachia4797 so shell size is more comparable to shell damage than shell damage is to shell damage. sound logic ngl. at core value realshatter reduced the damage done by aircraft cannon shells. the aphe change at core value reduces the damage done by aphe tank shells. at core value both realshatter and the aphe nerf have been to reduce damage done. both are the exact same in the way that they do nothing other than change the game in a more negative way for the sake of "realism" when it has been shown that gaijin cannot make realism and any attempt to try has been a failure through and though. take your very own example, volumetric, implemented to make the game more realistic but as you yourself said has only gotten worse (less realistic and more annoying/bugged).
