The Maga Trump libtard poo poo that is spewed on there is fascinating. Why bother saying that stuff to your team. If anything, I'll be more likely to note who you are and not help you? Strange people on there. But then I liked the internet much better before it was easy to get on.

Because racists live sad lonely lives thinking they can't be punished by shouting racist poo poo in an online game. I do my part by reporting them following up with anice ram to their rear end. gently caress them.

airfield is a piece of poo poo. i've actually warmed up to prok, as long as there's 1 arty or less and everyone's not setting up a tank parking garage the the bottom of the 1 line i think mines would own if it were like twice the size

Why can't they limit arty to just 1 or 2 per team? 3 is soooo asss. When did they put in the three per team limit? Or has it always been that way?

Having to wait 2 minutes for a battle instead of 30 seconds should be the price you pay if you want to freely click on tanks with no repercussions

probably the 2nd best thing armored warfare did with arty was the pinging system they added. The best thing they did with arty was just removing it from the pvp game and keeping it to pve. Probably the only two good decisions they ever made.

That was actually a terrible decision - AW also needed to just remove it, because it was not able to be balanced. In PvP, you would light up for enemy artillery when you fired, meaning the correct play was to wait to CB, kill the enemy artillery, and then your team got all the advantages. Obviously that's stupid, so they pushed artillery into PvE only, which was terrible because PvE was 5 players versus a bunch of AI, and artillery was terrible meaning it was just automatically 4 players versus the same number of AI. e: oh wait, wasn't there like a series of equipment/skills/boosts that just allowed your arti to fire like every 2 second or some poo poo? lol what a shitshow of a game

Then it was limited to 5 per side, then 3 per FV304 is unironically the only balanced arty in the game. Having to actually move around the map to get in range of people while trying to stay unspotted is much better gameplay for everyone involved than the current sitting in the corner thing they all do. Edit: Alternatively the way it's done in frontlines is pretty good, just have it as a consumable you can buy for like 20k.

USA has the best T9 arty and UK has the best T10 arty imo with proposed changes of adding AP back to arty maybe the russian one will be gibbing people again. I personally love the french arty but everyone hates it and the german one is like trying to be some weird middle ground but doesn't work out.

The first time I played arty I didn't know about the shift key to enter overhead view. I wouldn't have ever played it again if the missions didn't reward it. If you're doing missions the tier 6 and tier 9 American SPGs are the easiest ones to use. The 279e missions probably require a German and Russian SPG.

Yeah I was hoping I could lean away from USA as my brother already has the tier 9. And I like to be different. Not saying I will not consider USA, it's my own game and I can do whatever I want but I also like variety. E- I also want to avoid U.S.S.R for obvious reasons. I have way too many soviet tanks.

As badlama stated, I would avoid the german line entirely. The gwpanther used to be an amazing piece of work but then wargaming added the 53/55 which does the gwpanther's gimmick but with an actual gun attached to it. The brits match the US at t10 with similar splash so the splash multiple tanks missions are easier to do with it. However, you also have that long reload to work with. And besides that, the brits bounce around a bit on being fun and a slave work on a tier by tier basis. For example, depending on your view, the fv304 is both an amazing vehicle and also a painful vehicle due to the very short range of its shells. But also amazing because that reload will absolutely hammer and destroy people if left to its devices (and also nearly drops the shells vertically). The french arty is my personal favorite as well, but I'm going to acknowledge here that it is definitely a more advanced play arty compared to the others. This is because they have the smallest guns at tier with the gimmick being rapid mobility. Something that seems pointless with arty until you get into advanced game play where you realize it allows you to relocate more forward as the front pushes up on a specific flank giving you shots into the sides of the other flank breaking the stalemate or slowing down the enemy push there. Finally, the russians have this weird gambit for going 203mm early and sticking to it. Then dropping off a notch to a smaller gun at t10. It is decently accurate, but not as accurate as the french. Like wise, the chassis is fairly mobile, but not french mobile. But your gun is still able to work against the front of tanks which the french struggle more with. Prior to the addition of the french and brit arty, the 261 was considered the rapid move and rapid fire option. The gw-e100 was the middle ground but used to have sideskirts that allowed it to weather near misses from counter battery better than the other arty. Meanwhile, the t92 was the fairly mobile (more than the gw-e100 anyway) slow reload, high alpha and splash option. Note that the gw-e100 was implemented into the game BEFORE the e-100 was actually implemented. Why it never got the full e-100 hull upgrade after all these years to help it stand out some, I'll never know. Including I don't think it has the skirts gimmick anymore.

russian arty is a easy grind if you already got a KV-2 but american is the way to go cause you can stop at tier 9 and have the Best Arty, also you get to play the M44 which is disgusting

I've always found artillery incredibly boring to play as well as compete against, which makes having it in the game a lose-lose scenario. The only arty I've ever really loved is the British Fv304, which is a weird mix between arty and tank hunter. Fingers crossed for the tier8 premium version (Fv305) to be on sale soon...

The only arty I've ever really loved is the British Fv304, which is a weird mix between arty and tank hunter. Fingers crossed for the tier8 premium version (Fv305) to be on sale soon... I had to look this up. This is a premium on the console version of the game. There are many tanks they have that either has never (and will never) be added to the pc version. Or have been removed because of how straight up broken they are. Examples: https://console.worldoftanks.com/en/encyclopedia/vehicles/germany/G98_Waffentrager_E100/ That tank was straight removed for the grille 15. And will never come back. I'm sure someone here will gladly show off the gif of one killing a full health maus with one clip. This was in the days when armor still had some value and maus had the highest hp in the game. https://console.worldoftanks.com/en/encyclopedia/vehicles/usa/A801_PzVIB_Tiger_II/ This is a tier 7 on pc. https://console.worldoftanks.com/en/encyclopedia/vehicles/usa/A12_T32/ If upgraded to the t32e2, the 105mm gun has a pen of 218mm. Every pc player will tell you that is exactly what that gun needs for the t32. Because it currently still has 198mm pen just like the t29. Which is not fun for a tank that regularly sees t10s. https://console.worldoftanks.com/en/encyclopedia/vehicles/merc/ And then there is this mess. Like, https://console.worldoftanks.com/en/encyclopedia/vehicles/merc/MRC53_Trinity_MKII/ wtf (it is a t-44-100 with the t26e4 turret installed) Edit: Just to clear up here, I WANT a t8 premium arty for frontlines. That is why I looked it up as this was the first mention I'd seen of such a thing. JuffoWup fucked around with this message at 15:21 on Jan 24, 2020 |

My favorite knife fight is the one where you're rolling around in a kv2 with the derp and you see... *SPOTTED* You lurch out of the way from the corner you were approaching. A Kv-2 rumbles forward, blows his wad, and you give chase.

Gah. Got a lot of mixed reactions from the feedback. At least I still have time to decide. I do appreciate everyone's knowledge so I am definitely not going down Germany and France. USA and U.S.S.R is back on the menu, and I am still hating myself on wanting to play Arty. At least we will be seeing more double barrels very soon. My Obj 703 II is hungry for them.  E- Oh TS-5 and LT-432 are on sale with some cool as hell looking camo from the event. Both tanks I praise highly on the vehicles being pay to win. TS-5 you can play crazy Ivan and push hard in a front only position while rapid firing shells. And the LT-432 can spot and see like an eagle. If you do not have those tanks and have money burning a hole in your wallet the $54 dollar price of admission is, like always, up to you. Just keep in mind doing crazy poo poo on those tanks happen a lot more than it's tech tree counterparts. Katamari Democracy fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Jan 25, 2020 |

also yeah the console has all kinds of cool poo poo that got tantrumed out of the pc game e: although bear in mind the stats on those are probably not the same as they were in the pc game at the time they got axed. the console devs seem more dedicated to keeping & rebalancing stuff instead of dropping it the captured kv1 hasn't been on sale for a real long time though iirc Cactus Ghost fucked around with this message at 02:59 on Jan 25, 2020 |
