I am asking myself why soviet tanks are in possession of APHE (or similar ammunition), while the Axis/German tanks are not, even though it was (by far) their most common type of ammunition (Panzergranate 39, APCBC-HE-T (Tracers)) and not the Panzergranate 40 (APCBC, it does not explode) that we have ingame. This difference just makes the whole situation unbalanced
Only missing shell for Axis Moscow is HEAT for the pz4… rest is working well.

The shell that german tanks such as the IV F2 do not possess explosive filler, even though the russians get he filler
Not true, majority of tanks in Enlisted fire the standard ammunition provided to them in War Thunder. In case of the German vehicles it is Panzergranate 39. In game it will only appear as APCBC but it is infact Pzg 39 and does possess the explosive filler

yeah, you can even see this when you use tigers and king tigers. APCBC is similar to APHE really

Always SEE your tank in war thunder wiki, all the information of ammo it’s in there
Panzergranate 40 is APCR, not APCBC.
APCBC is distinctivly different from APHE, as it does not have filler
Balance ?

As for Moscow, it appears that they are trying to balance the situation with aircraft.
Soviet aircraft are equipped with only 100 kg of bombs, which is not enough to destroy tanks, while the Germans have aircraft equipped with 250-500 kg of bombs.
The problem is that few skilled players are able to destroy tanks with aircraft.

what the fuck are you smoking and more importantly can i have some?
APCBC can have filler, with the devs calling it APCBC because that is literally what it is in war thunder (where i’m convinced alot of coding comes from)
Yes and no, it depends on the particular shell in question. In this case discussing Panzergranate 39, it does have a explosive filler. The game doesn’t feature the entirety of the acronym “APCBC-HE-T” however I can assure you that the filler is there

This is Gaijin - you even wonder why there is Russian bias??
If stalinium 100kg bombs and rockets are not enough to kill a Panzer II while even 50kg can kill a T-34, then you wouldn’t kill with 250kg either.
Air in Moscow is asymmetrical because Soviets have rockets, a plane with 6x100kg bombs AND rockets and a flying Jumbo.

Before tiger 1 had come to the scene, stug 3 was able to penetrate t34.
But they even made stug 3 premium in 1 soviet campaign as a remember.
The most produced land vehicle of germany in ww2 but paywalled

They literally could have made Stug with HEAT the tank over PZ.IV F2 and we still would have been happy.
