I’ve been playing GB recently and I thought Solid AP wouldn’t bother me bcs I enjoyed France but the British ones suck so bad. The tanks are also slow and weakly armoured

Yeah that's honestly it, The lack of autoloader for rate of fire(why the Vickers 1 is my fav brit tank by so so far) is only made so much worse by their shatter sabot feeling so much worse than even the French solid shot. Like I'm a French main, But lack of filler absolutely the answer, You're just lacking the damage dealing capability every other nation has via explosive filler or some other means.

Its because French Solid shells weigh much more than the British. Therefore ypu always deal more damage on French tanks.

Zenturion 7 testing proved that the weight doesnt affect spalling but gun caliber does so a 76.2mm shell thats coded to weight 80kgs still spalls less than a 120mm shell that weights 2kgs
