@@francesco-97 CAS:

[@_gungrave_6802]

@@marsdriver2501 CAS is something you can mitigate where as WoT arty is something you have to CONSTANTLY and ALWAYS deal with knowing it can and will kill you. CAS on the other hand is something that can be avoided by using smokescreens, nearby terrain/buildings, camoflouge(bushes and foliage), and simply paying attention. Lastly another thing that makes arty in WoT worse is the fact WoT isn't a garage based game where you can play multiple tanks. If arty kills you in WoT its far more annoying and painful because you have only one life. In War Thunder if CAS kills you its a slight annoyance before you jump in another tank if given that you have another spawn left.

What gaijin needs to do: 1. Add drones to Self Propelled Howitzers 2. Add ways to measure distance from your position to any point of the map. 3. Make maps larger for said Self Propelled Howitzers

[@danielaguirre2516]

One problem, if you were busy flying your drone and the enemy drone saw your artillery tank just sitting around, the enemy player is gonna hop on his artillery tank and one shot you.

Making maps larger should have been done a long time ago anyway. You can actually see and shoot enemies from your spawn, while they're sitting in their spawn. It's absurd.

[@SpiiiiiceeMAN]

​@@danielaguirre2516 then an easy fix for that is players who defend or keep artillery tanks alive get rewarded like lets say this: for X amount of ingame time * tickets / player count = percent of how much silver lions is added to your total silver lions at the end of the match. This applies to All vehicles who protect the artillery tanks, for SPAA vehicles its another story as they can quickly relocate after shooting down targets.

Press 5 to autopilot in the uav. It flies it in a circle

[@SomeOrdinaryJanitor]

now i want scout drones on Artillery pieces in game like the M109 so this is more viable as a tactic.

[@thisfeatureissostupid]

squad up with someone. one guy brings a drone, you and potentially the third guy bring artillery and shoot. guy on the drone just says drop/add and the distance "drop 100m". guy on drone is the observer, thats literally how its done irl. it will also be more efficient and less work because the shooters only focus on shooting and the observer only focuses on spotting. also if you have 2 shooters with something like an m109 you could stagger fire to double the fire rate and zero in the range much quicker
