Just some data…..
About 39% of my 14K games were in arty. After the 8.6 patch the arty world changed. Arty is no fun and not effective for my teams.
I have a Object 261, French T10, German T4, German GW Panther and a 40/43. Sold my SU-26 after 1300 battles in it.

I have stopped playing arty except the T4 German.

interesting to see the su26 near “death” position…
and no wonder…
i also stopped playing all my spgs (practically the entire russian branch), in fact, i’ve de-crewed some of them to put into tanks essentially mothballing them.
before 8.6 SPG was my go-to tank for a fun match, specially 212 and SU26.
played 2 battles on su26 post patch…. goodbye sweet prince, mothballed for good, i used to be a god of war on that thing, easily taking top gun on every other match or being in the top 3 damages… now it’s beyond useless…

su8?, played one match, 23s reload.. hit a roof…. 23s after… hit the ground no dmg… 23s later… a wall… 23s later…… 400DMG yep, goodbye SU8, de-crewed and mothballed, it wasn’t a particularly good arty before the patch(damage output varied too wildly due to low pen+low blast radii and elongated reticle) now it’s beyond shit.

212… played one match, ANY kind of track traverse would send my reticle bigger than my screen, in fact it’s so big when closed that i have a hard time finding the dots that comprise the reticle…

261 is the only one that was somehow “spared”, but it’s not an arty i play much.

so in that sense, patch did what it’s supposed to do: drove out all the good/skilled players out of arty and left those who don’t care about their stats to play them.

And also SS don’t listen to the winrate whiners. It is still the only useful stat out there.

Keep ‘em coming.

Your logic is flawed.

While I am not a unicom, I am above average by far. I stopped playing the few arties I have.

Only the bads don’t mind when their machine sucks. So in the future there will be more bads playing arty as compared to before 8.6.

what exactly is the meaning of “vehicles ammount” in this table, since total played seems to be very high for most of the ammounts of vehicles?

Few days ago on my GW typ E I did over 6 k dmg and i still lost , hit is7 for full hp (ammo rack ). They nerfed arty but it seems like ppl dont give a **** about arty if theres only one in enemy team and they just stand in open…

The reason for the small amount of Xtier arty is because it comes now fully elited. Before if I wanted my 261 to have all the modules researched I had to gather about 100k exprience in it.
