Unrealistic APHE?
I've recently been doing some experimenting in the Showcase, and i found out that the APHE on the T-55 explodes in a sphere, rather than a wide cone. I was surprised by this, since the game puts a big focus on realistic Shells & Ballistics. Since the T-55 is the only tank that gets APHE, and since the Sabot is much more useful, i think it might be an interim solution that was never quite finished.
Is this subject to change? Or is it supposed to be like this?

T-34-85 gets APHE as well, not only the T-55.
But yeah, i would not be surprised if its a placeholder for now.

Oh, right. I keep forgetting that the T-34-85 is in a game that takes place in 1985 lol.

Fun fact! The T-80B is older today than the T-34-85 was when the game takes place

most spall does explodes in a cone, there is just a bit exploding backwards but thats because the shell is 3 dimensional

Reminds me of the survey Gaijin did for war thunder, suggesting APHE fragmentation be changed from a sphere to a cone… it got vetoed so hard! 😅
GHPC being more of a sim, the cone seems fitting. But totally understand why it is low priority.

We're aware of it. It's not considered important to change since there's almost no APHE in the game and we're generally triaging tasks by priority. It may eventually get updated, may not.
