It seems the WG plan is to nerf arty (already done), nerf TDs, keep on oppressing any Light that can’t clip a Heavy a tier above it dead in 8 seconds, and rework all the maps to cater solely to Mediums and Heavies.

Why not just save time, have just one 200m*200m map that blanatantly favors brawling? Spotting/camo is going away in favor of armor angling and hoping RNG allows your shell to hit the weakspot you aimed at, so why not strip WoT to only that? It seems to be waht many people (especially WG devs) want, so why waste our time with the incremental steps?

Another point, some “city” maps are pretty decent for arty, just depends on if there is fire line into the enemy. Like Stalingrad and Seigfried Line you can shut down some key lines pretty easy.

Yeah but we know WG only selected like 1 in 100 of the new maps they create and subjects them to years and years of testing by savants with Phd’s in tanking.

Like most map adjustments it dumbs them down.

I didn’t really have a problem with the map although the hill slightly favoured the south spawn. Now it seems to have been dumbed down with more buildings for cover and the hill flatter. It’s better for tomatoes in their heavies basically, rather than cleverly working the terrain.

I, for one, enjoy the vision game WAY more than practice retarded peek-a-booming at point blank range. I prefer not to be seen at all, thank you very much, rather than having my nose shoved into the “come on, turn your turret at my brain dead teammates and let me shoot your flank!” meta.

Also, screw spotting damage, right? Or did you forget that spotting is also meant to be part of the game? For instance LTs with crap firepower but good camo & maneuverability suffer a lot on CQC maps.

Not to mention tanks like the Panther or Tiger, which excel in long-range combat (tho, granted, the Tiger H has the DPM to just smash everything into submission, but you get the picture)
