The problem that arty players who always use that argument don’t seem to see is that the normal tanks can’t always have an eye for the arty. we also have other problems with tanks right in front of us so you have to choose either arty safe but an easy kill for the tank you are fighting or fighting back properly but not beeing arty safe and hoping for some bad rng or unawareness from the arty.
I think arty shouldn’t be removed but completely rebalanced making it more fun for BOTH the arties (come on 45s+ reload wtf….) aswell as for the other tanks receiving 1800 dmg shells as it is now. Maybe much higher splash radius and better reload but decreased alpha.

[…] Wir hatten ja bereits ein Bild der Karte D-Day vor einigen Tagen gezeigt. Nun gibt es aber jede Menge mehr Screenshots und ein Video dazu. Quelle: For the Records […]

You still do not speak for everyone.

You said “no one gives an actual shit about arty”. This statement is patently false. There are many players who enjoy playing arty. There are even some (I am not one of them) who play arty almost exclusively.

Trying to now say that you speak for the “majority” is nothing but a diversion, a bait and switch, to try to hide the FACT that your previous statement was completely false.

Also note that the FTR poll only accounts for a tiny portion of the WoT player base and is a bad statistical sample.

Excellent map. The reconstruction of the terrain is amazing. I’ve been thre and… yes, the approach from shore to the hill it’s exactly like the one on hte map. The only issue with real facts is…. Not a single bunker is aiming at the sea. All bunker were builded to protect cannons from ships cannons (and so they had concrete toward the sea) and they were aimed at teh beach…. Not a big issue for the game naturally.

I’m obviously speaking for the majority. Just look at the poll.

“this is a sneak peek into the new 9.7 historical map, called “Overlord”.”

And by historical, they mean “doesn’t actually look anything like Normandy”

RIP slow tanks with the rise of active skycancer players lately.

That’s what all the arty’d Cromwells who apparently don’t know how Cromwell is supposed to be played say.

No, really, i play heavies and meds mostly and have no problem with arty. If you can’t stay in arty-safe locations you just gotta keep moving, don’t peek three times from the same spot (you can usually get away with appearing there twice, but for third attempt are all enemy arties probably zeroed in) and you are 90% good.

5% arty kills are skill
5% arty kills are pure luck (yeah, there’s luck in every half-succesful arty shot, but i mean those shots “lol yolo, i dunno what i’m doing *snapshot over whole map*)
90% are arties basically tax collectors for their target’s carelessness and/or lazyness.
