In AMX13-75 I´ve seen quite a lot of games without even a single arty. Guess what? The idiot heavies and TDs are still „camping hard”.
As long as the random battles are played in 15vs15, you cannot really hope for a coherent attack. Some people will always be cowards looking for lazy ways to camp and click, exactly what you’re accusing arty of.

“arty will stay forever: never will be removed from game”

Good enough. Maybe the players leave instead. But WG will have their arty.

XVM is simple. As it IS A MOD, you tread it like a mod. if u no likey, then why worry mate?

dont want to see “tomatoes”? disable stats. actually reduces load on your comp. did that once, it actually feels rather depressing. note that i play on SEA server, where even in tier 8s you’ll see ppl with worse stats and gameplay than a tier2. we have enough tomatoes to get you sick of the real thing =D

I only kept it on so I don’t get jumpscared by a passing unicum.

I’m with you. I actually nerf myself with sticking to the pzslfb/german turret arty. last time i played T57 arty i wrecked the enemy team on himmelsdorf.

ZOMG YES, cause it would be so hard to localize it for the German market.

Judge for yourself what you think of WG’s spin on things. (By the way SS, Gunlion is the WoWS and WoWP Community Manager, not a “Dev”. Certainly not setting policy for all of WG.)

From here – http://worldoftanks.eu/en/news/46/historical-content-world-tanks/

“As such, we will not remove from our games any historically accurate content that is not prohibited by international or national law.”

Now, granted that was in reference to the Stalinist slogans on tanks, but it is interesting that protest from a small section of WG’s market (KR office) has lead to WG, IMO, contradicting itself. While the uproar about the Stalinist slogans was pretty widespread from what I remember. Of course everyone will say, but that’s Japanese, not Russian, so… (blah blah blah, insert Russian bias conspiracy theory here (or are they ).

“they don’t hit me ever because I’m positioning myself in the arty shadows”
Sooo…
You’re camping…

You can do tons of stuff to counter all classes.
Except arty. The only way to avoid getting killed by them is camping, while all they have to do is sit at their base and click once a minute.
How in the unholy name of fuck is that good design?

In about 17k games I’ve rarely been one-shot by arty. In fact, most games they don’t hit me ever because I’m positioning myself in the arty shadows as any skilled player does.
When I do play arty, I mostly feast on idiots who sit in the open, campers and those who don’t know how to position themselves. Of course it’s a whole lot less effective with arty as opposed to a td.

If you’re getting messed up by arty, you’re not that good. Screw this “I’m skilled, he’s just a clicker”. Obviously you ain’t so shit hot after all.

I hope they make arty in aw similarly an exercise in feasting on idiots. Perhaps they’ll stop playing these games and the rest of us can get on with having fun whilst they return to being breastfed.

Well said mate. And all that makes perfect sense to the little Lithuanian troll… :)
