Comments on: Individual Missions Will Get You Punished?

I got stung back in November for the same thing – so I complained to Customer Service by raising a ticket.

————————————————————————————————–
I’ve just been issued an inactivity warning (Severogorsk @1400). This was an inappropriate use of the warning system.

I was arty, waiting for a shot. All the enemy arty were being careful and no opportunity presented itself. An enemy tank drove straight towards where I was sitting, no one intercepted him and he killed me. Not a lot I could do. (yeah, yeah, I wasn’t watching the minimap)

Hello malairt,

thank you for contacting us with your issue.

I am really sorry that you received a warning because of this.
But please rest assured, you don’t need to be worried about the warnings.
If this happens too often, every match that you will leave before the end will result in 0 EXP and 0 Credits.
That is all the system does. It might get expensive but you still can play.
Unfortunately I can not tell you how much warnings it needs to activate those penalties.

As the warnings disappear after a certain amount of battles you don’t need to be worried.
Also the system is still new so cases like this will be looked into and hopefully get fixed.

I don’t think the chap really understood what I was on about as I didn’t leave before the end – I got shot. Anyhoo, counterbattery gaming obviously has to be conducted with care to avoid an inactivity warning. I wonder how many metres you have to move to be considered active?

I did not mean “shut up”
I just meant “don’t like? no need to comment” he will do whatever he likes either way. I also commented negatively once and got his response, where he nearly boiled. Since then I simply read the news and ignore the rest. You will not win with some ppl.

The Mission 7 shouldn’t hurt you unless you suck :D
The Mission 10 is just bad for your team in general, it’s ok if experienced players counter-arty, but if noobs going for the Stug try it, it’s not fun for anyone (except the enemy team).

I think it’s because no one would actively go for these missions unless they know they can complete them (and I’m assuming the biggest bottleneck right now is the mandatory 3-person platoons). I mean, it is a bit of a hassle to manually activate each one and claim the reward when you don’t have an incentive to do it in the first place (and not many will just settle for the crew members or just the credits).

When I play arty which is maybe a couple games a day, like 5% of total, I don’t mind being countered. It doesn’t happen very often and I think it is something WG should try to make happen more often.

I keep reading about the IM missions and thinking it’s luck-based with much of what we’ve seen so far. Maybe WG will rework some of the missions or maybe they won’t.

Since I play a FV304, I don’t even attempt to do counter-battery fire. I will go looking for opfor artillery during the end game if possible. Otherwise, it’s about supporting my team. Screw the IM missions.

The thing to do with arty counter fire is to co-ordinate with the other SPGs on the team (if there are any). Let them know that you’re going to do some counter fire at the start of the battle.

Whne you ar ein counter SPG fire mode don’t ingore the red dots that get spotted – especially if the other SPGs on the team have just fired. Always go for high value targets also.

On some maps (Himmelsdorf) you can blind fire into the place where arty usually set up and get a kill more often than not.

I’ve done that a few times and the dead SPG player complains that I used a hack…. The hack was to shoot where arty usually sets up….

IM will be a serious gameplay breaker, as if there weren’t enough tomatoes going around, now we have the very few skilled players hunting for missions. God, am I glad I stopped playing this shit a couple months ago.

Go Armored Warfare !

Well shit, looks like no American TD trainer for me, because fuck anyone who does this they must have used illegal mods that make tracers persistent and mark where they come from.
