Did they remove the Ho-ro's world ender shell?

What was it's pen? It still has 55 MM of pen (for the HE).

poor Ho ro has only been nerfed since its introduction. Gaijoob doesn't like Japan at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGvzcxTTaZo

It still takes out rank V tanks.

The shell has become again as it used to be (they briefly changed the 90° pen to 60mm if I remember correctly but that was it). Nothing new or worse or anything than it was when it was introduced, atleast not that I have noticed.

Ho-Ro is a halfway decent backup in the higher tiers, at least not much worse then the other vehicles available to you high rank 4/ rank 5. For some reason the high rank 4/ rank 5 vehicles don't have lower repair costs (and the Ho-Ri has it's repair cost so ridiculously high repair cost across Arcade, RB and Sim that it isn't even funny. Not to mention the M42 has that really high rep cost as well....

I find the Ho-Ro better than the Type 75...

It's small and it feels like you can get your gun on target much quicker.

It isn't as tall. I tend to not mind the Type 75 for some reason. The Ho-Ro is fun to yeet tanks out of existence though.

Yeah, I just hate the Type 75. Normally you'd think "Derp gun with proximity fuse and fast reload? hell yeah!"

But having played it I am only frustrated at being a massive, easily penned box which takes ages to elevate or lower its gun. Maybe my memories of the Ho-Ro are being too rosy there but that's how I've felt there.

so should I use the HE or the APHE?
I remember a year or so ago when the tank had an HE with like 100 pen or something.

...the tank never had HE with like 100 pen.

Are you perhaps thinking of the Sturmpanzer II with its 200mm pen HEAT shell?

ALWAYS use the HE.
