What seems to be the case for Heroes and Generals is that high penetration of a round leads to more damage output, and thus a lot of cases players will strictly use APCR for every tank they come across. Thus at many times and many other situations, other rounds that may seem weaker than APCR (like standard solid shot AP) actually excel better than APCR, not in armor penetration effects but in how the round reacts to the tank when it does penetrate. The only possible way to really knock out another tank with APCR with one shot is if you get a well placed shot into armor that directly leads to multiple (if not all of the) crew, andor the shot hits a vital part in the vehicle (i.e ammo, engine, etc.). The round is able to achieve a greater velocity due to its weight, which in turn gives the projectile more punch when hitting armor.ĪPCR is a KE round purely, so that means the only way it can really do damage inside a vehicle is through the kinetic energy of the round and its ability to create spall in the vehicle. The effectiveness of this round doesnt come from its killing factor (how much explosive or spall itll create), but more of the rounds ability to penetrate thicker slabs of armor at high velocities than most other rounds at the time. This meta is something that needs to be (Or I would hope to be) fixed with Armor 2.0, but before you can really fix something you need to take a look into the problem.

It should have a smaller damage radius, but the direct hit dmg should be critical.
