It’s easy to play arty, but it’s very hard to master. You must to know where to camp, and where to aim. You must know to read the battle situation, so you can cover the in-danger flank. You must to predict enemy movement, calculate shell flying time, so you can hit them when they moving. You must know when to run, when to hide, and when to fight back if a scout run to your position. You must know what target is you primary, what is the secondary… especially when you only can shot 1 every 40 sec. You must must know what direction you should run, when to stop, when to go backward if you are spotted, so you can avoid enemy arty shot. You must know when to counter, when to avoid counter, and when anti-counter in a match with more than 3 arty. AND last but the most important is : you must pray RNG god when you fire “plz plz plz a direct hit “. Arty now is a brain game, not for somebody want easy mode.

I’d assume that extends to the metal (wrougt iron?) fences like the west side of Himmelsdorf.

What about the semi-destructible houses? The ones that take a dozen shells and still remain partially “up”. I guess the part that can come down will ony take 1 shell and the part that remains is not penetrable at all.

You quoted the wrong post. In any case, I agree with both of you and Dai-san. But then, who would expect accurate, unbiased information from a blog named “WOT Contrarian”? The previous article whining about the “rigged” matchmaker based on that patent’s existence (something that nobody has proved is true using objectively sound methods like statistical analysis) lowers the author’s credibility incredibly.

this is going to be a doubled edged sword, tactics involving using soft cover to cover your tank for an extra hit need to be revised. while shooting enemies behind cover is now possible with penetration loss depending on the type of cover. but i like it none the less, soft cover was never able to stop Ap-APCR rounds travelling at 900-1000 m/s.

HE shells can penetrate soft cover if they are equiped with the right fuse, however it needed to be strong enough to survive the initial impact. this is mostly used by arty to get a shell to explode inside the building for maximum effect, and get the building to collapse. or to destroy roads or other types of infrastructures.

tank HE shells in my opinion explode on impact for destruction of soft targets.

Back then, as JT and JPE driver, I hate arty to the core, but after grinding arty by myself……especially now, arty isn’t easy mode again. it needs brain to fully maximize it
