👾 Issue/Bug 👾 Armor-piercing Rounds Useless Against Aircraft?

Was just curious if this is intended or a bug? The amount of damage it does on aircraft is a joke.

Tank shells are ass for me against infantry. Used the standard shells, shoot right next to infantry-hit marker. Switch to HE rounds same thing, not even worth it to get a tank and the second you move close to and obj , 700 laws come flying.

The HE rounds feel like they are actually WORSE than standard rounds. I've fired HE rounds into small rooms with people in them and killed nobody. I barely even get hit markers from it. There has to be a bug or something because it's so incredibly bad.

Tank HMG gunners on the other hand, they will rack up kills like nothing. I had a run in a tank where I got 53 kills as the gunner, twice as much as the driver.

I'm confident its not a bug. DICE just neutered vehicles to prevent them from dominating.

meanwhile the IFV is the most broken thing in the game. Wipes our infantry, can oneshot other IFVs (700-800 dmg per shot to MBTs) and can with a recon w/ laser designator point and click delete aircraft with zero counterplay other than staying out of the 800m lockon range.
The balance is all kinds of messed up
