Gold ammo needs a change and if you think it shouldn't you're the problem

ever since 2.0 heavy tanks and assault TD-s have become literaly unplayable because as many people (everyone) knows, literaly 95% of people use almost exclusively gold ammo and before 2.0 it wasn't a big isssue but oh my god armor flashlight is the biggest mistake the game has ever seen. it makes things 1000x worse because the game is balanced so that heavily armored tanks should be penned only on weakspots but with gold ammo most tanks can pen spots that aren't even weak. for example the tortoise in stock form (which is how i'm playing it right now) on paper is a tank that is unpenetrable if you hide the cupola however the second someone shoots ammo you are easier to kill than a glass canon td because the whole front becomes green for every tank so it's useless because the stock gun is also nothing to be affraid of.

the only possible ways to fix this at this point which isn't increasing every tank's armor values because that makes regular ammo shit.

what i think could be done is:

A: remove armor flashlight from either high tier or move it to training rooms so that it's actually a tool for improvement rather than a tool to make gold noobs better.

B: make gold ammo either cost gold again/even more credits (more credits probably won't do anythin) or make gold ammo do less damage that is noticable enough that it makes you use your brain and think about what you should do rather than being rewarded for stupidity which works pefectly in wot blitz by the way.

or

C: all of the above so that the stupid players don't get rewarded and they are forced to get better which is good for everyone because they will enjoy the game more if they don't die in 2 minutes which should also slow down games and also it will be less frustrating if you don't die when a noob throws his full health game to kill you

what do you guys think? are there any fixes that you think are better?

this makes you think \"oh that's a well armoured tank, i better use my skill to either flank him or shoot his cupola\"

and this makes you think \"free damage, i can yolo in because his stock gun is shit and his armor is paper\" and this isn't even a big gunned tank like the obj 268 or the jag e100
