They can add rule to MM, that 1,2 or 3 top tanks are of the same type on both sides

Also I really like the changes to arty and accuracy.

It actually means arty returns to their roles of being a anti camper mechanism.

Tanks that aren’t actively moving can be hit. Tanks that are actively engaging and fighting the way they should now have a far better chance to not get shot to pieces by arty.

I always found it rediculous that arty could hit moving targets that where actually fighting and actively engaging. Ary turned tier X games in to campfests because moving ment getting shot. Now moving means dodging shells and camping means trouble..

Love this patch and hope they keep the all the changes as they are. Sniping actually works now.

Great work WG

I had a game where we had an E-100 and the enemy only had a lot of tier 9… Didn’t matter to much since it was a “REAL” E-100 driver… (43% WR 600 eff) he was sniping on el Halluf (only 1 arty per side)… We still one even though it was kind of weird.

Also saw it on QuickyBaby’s livestream yesterday. The enemy had an E-100 and they didn’t have any tier X

I’m rather confident that the arty-player base will decrease now with 8.6. Although I don’t think arty was nerfed hard at all.

First, because of the nerfed aim time, playing arty successfully now needs at least a bit more skill. (pre-aim, predict victim’s movement, map knowledge,…) Many unskilled and whining players will hopefully quit playing it now. Or at least they’ll play it less often, because they are frustrated.

On the other hand skilled players (who regrettably often play only for their own stats) will probably also quit. I know many good players, who play arty only for on reason. Boosting their WN7 rating, which is mainly composed of average dmg/battle in relation to average tier level and frags.
(e.g. Tier V Hummel could easily reach 1k dmg/battle, while a ‘normal’ Tier V med/heavy could not! [except M4, PzIV derps^^])
Have seen many players now, who lost about 30-70 WN7 rating. Muhaha, Schadenfreude! ;)

What do you guys think …?

i still believe that the MM is way better now.
i prefer having a single tier X arty against a tier X heavy tank instead of 5 top tier arties on both teams.

BS No one is calling for a harcap on anything but Arty. To say people would be nearly as vocal about other tank hard caps is complete BS

You two are morons. Arty is easily the king of the battlefield currently.

What is wrong with having 3 arty per game. That is a nice medium that gives Heavies and TDs something to worry about , yet not enough that everyone camps behind rocks all game.
