I love the fact that almost everybody hates arty when you get hit, tracked, stunned or whatsoever. But, at the opposite, sadly almost everybody forget that sometimes, your arty saved yo a** because he stunned the heavy/med/td/light/spg that was about to kill you, making him reload slower than usual and letting you finish him before you get killed. In almost every game, I see arty getting roasted over and over. And rarely, in 1 of 1000 games, I see people saying "thanks arta". ~We work in the dark to serve the light.

[@abdullahmohammedali192]

Conversely, if I try to punish someone making mistakes e.g. getting caught out of position, I get shit on by enemy arty. The enemy arty was saving their ally as well, at the expense of my hit points and sanity. What arty protects you from are your own bloody mistakes, which is what majority of the player base hates. Because in a competitive game, you should get punished for mistakes and rewarded for correct plays. Arty does the opposite and is therefore harmful to the competitive spirit of this game, if any given how powercreeped the higher tiers have become.

[@harrytayler7575]

Never thought I’d ever consider seal clubbing in an SPG

[@TotalRookie_LV]

Well, having binoculars on arty is just normal to me too, it's especially useful in situations near the end of the game, when arty got to spot for herself, or if spotters suck, and I got to cover some bottleneck positions, say the approach on the flank with windmill on Fisherman's Bay map. And yes, there is something about using top view only, I've seen at least one other good arty player doing that (he's often the number one on Russian servers), he said battle sight view is only good for firing over ridges. I'm not that good, so I use that "trajectory view" mode quite often. And in this particular game, if I was on the red team, I would go with both arties together, but not side by side, so the first one would serve as a bait / spotter, while second (preferably M44) stays a bit behind and aims at possible adversary's positions, which they _sort of_ did, but didn't succeed. Also I would not call "Stark's medal" an unusual one, got several of them (looking up my profile), specifically - 11 of them, plus some Gore's medals, a couple of "Rock Solid" (for killing tanks by ramming them with SPG and surviving the battle), one "Cool-blooded" (for killing two LTs in close quarter combat on SPG) and one De Legland's medal (for killing at least four adversaries while they are capping). Funny thing is, I got those later two in the same match. XD So, I'd say Stark's medal is the easiest to get of all of those, judging by the numbers of medals I got. P.S. If that means anything, I have not drowned my SPGs even once... However, I've "suicided" one or two times by shooting point blank at the wall, when the "team", I happened to be in, really, really sucked.

[@lord6617]

I think its just when you started playing arty that probably most determines which view you are comfortable with. I've been using the stretch of the ellipses targeting ring to judge shot trajectory for so long that the Trajectory view is kind of more of a hassle than anything. I usually shoot and scoot, so if I'm in trajectory mode when I fire, and shift to normal view to reposition, then switch back to arty view, switch to top down view, get situated then have to switch to trajectory view again? Nah that's like a bunch of extra steps, which might kill me - and certainly slows down how quick I can be set up on the next target to fire on.

[@LeLeon78]

I use top view only normally. For me it feels like traject view is off. When i used it, i often shot far over the enemy without effect. Only on something like pilsen i use it to shot into the opposite heavy clash building. You can reach a few meters inside these houses, if you can manage the stupid cam, who tries to go to roof level.

Perhaps if all SPGs (especially high tier) were more similar to the M44 and Bert the Avenger, people would try to fight more often. If you're in an unarmoured box that's less manoeuvrable than a Maus and has a 40+ second reload, you don't stand much of a chance no matter how well you play. That still doesn't excuse drowning yourself, tho'.

[@ianking7511]

SPGs are not hated for drowning themselves, they're hated because people have a visceral dislike of taking fire from vehicles they cannot retaliate against. And the WoT player base is mostly comprised of wailing infants. The drowning is incidental, I've seen plenty of tanks drown themselves, it's got nothing to do with the class, except that perhaps the SPGs have more opportunity. I guarantee you most heavy players would suicide to deny the enemy a kill if the option was available.

@@1slotmech Agreed; XVM is probably the cause of 80% of the toxicity and suicides on WoT, because many players see a bad match-up pointwise and give up on playing well or co-operating with/trusting their team, then blame the team when their lack of teamwork drops the game.

7. play more popular artys , to learn artys lines of fire in high-cover maps and few possible locations for every arty and how to avoid them shells. when you play arty enough start to lern from those difficult targets ,whoom manage to avoid shells in open maps just by moving in right timeing.

This is an arty dream game. This is how I try to play when I choose arty. I wish I had a game or two at this level of performance. Even though the enemy makes these kinds of errors, that M44 still well deserves that victory. Gratz to him - got to be the finest arty game I've ever seen. Drowning on purpose is something that I never consider. It's the cowards way out no matter what vehicle you drive. I've had dead teammates telling me to drown many times in a "1 v X" and I've always responded "Negative". Fight to the bitter end - If they take my health then they earned it.

[@spodula]

I dont get why you would sacrifice the points you get from giving one final HE to someone in the face. It seems counter intuitive. (I used to play arty a lot. Not these days though) Never deliberately drowned myself (Although i did put bert into the river a few times back before it was was nerfed to T3 levels. - Looks like a fish - moves like a fish - Steers like a cow :)

[@dunringill1747]

@@spodula Yeah, sacrificing yourself and robbing yourself of that one last chance for a TD mode blast to the face ---- that kind of thinking really baffles me.

[@t5unami195]

Yeah never understood the drowning either. Remember when I was with three other arties. (Backs hen there could be 4 or more arties on a team) our team was destroyed, so we just charged down the hill blazing against 9 enemy tanks. We got decimated but still was hilarious

[@ainslieberrafella]

@@dunringill1747 People don't do it when they have a shell loaded, they do it when they've just fired and know they'll be dead before their 30+ second reload happens.

[@dunringill1747]

@@ainslieberrafella Maybe I'm being strange here, but I just don't see suicide as an option on how I want to play. I could be 100% out of ammo and I still won't suicide. They have to earn the win. I'll try to hide and go for the draw if I'm empty. Or I'll maneuver for a jump on someone. If that doesn't work - I'll try to ram the softest tank I see before I go down. Gotta take the risk for even a slight chance of dealing damage. And if it doesn't happen - oh well, at least I tried. The enemy deserves the kill.

[@Zeknif1]

So, the reasoning behind favoring the top down view over the angled view is it gives much more precise control over the reticle once you understand how the reticle responds to terrain and mousing over a vehicle's collision model (the game engine will draw the trajectory line through the point on the vehicle you mouse over and center the reticle graphic where the trajectory line intersects the terrain) in order to give you an idea of vehicle's height at various points of the vehicle (Such as the turret roof, engine deck, etc) and give you a fairly accurate picture of how likely you are to splash the target as well as its direction and speed. You end up getting A LOT more information out of the top down view than the angled view, but it's not as intuitive to use as the angled view is, which is a lot more newbie accessible. Where the angled view suffers most is when attacking targets fighting from reverse slopes or at a significant altitude advantage relative to the artillery, or mobile targets on uneven terrain.

[@Saiyijon]

My buddy takes arty suicide even further. There are two maps, if he gets them with his arty, he immediately drives into the water and queues up in another tank.

[@warrmalaski8570]

As an arty player hitting the "g" key tends to make your shells go high and behind the intended spot. ps, I have drowned in my arty, never on purpose.

[@linyarin]

I've seen so many non-arty players drown themselves. In arty I go down fighting: drowning is for inexperienced arty players or just those that play arty for missions and believe all they're told.

[@wolfsokaya]

I personally dont like the basic G view,but if you have the arty battle assistant mod,it gets good.

[@tambarlas5248]

The round goes high/behind because you are placing the aim spot on the center mass of the tank. Remember: the aim spot is actually on the ground.

Here we see, that playing Arty is more as just "sit, wait, click", like most of the peeps are pretending it is. Of course, not everyone does - or is even able to do - what he did here, but still, a good arty-player knows how to use his tracks ans splash ;)

[@kennethstretton5308]

he does have x3 marks of excellence on his barrel very skilled played knowing where to position himself and where to aim

What this player did would be impossible in a lot of other arty. The most lack a combination of mobility and a flexible gun. The American arty are the best imo.

[@StarkRaven59]

There is a place for indirect fire in the game. It's needed to counter hull-down positions, overtuned tonks, and ultimately get the damn game moving when everyone camps. What I'd like to see is more of a blam-and-scram style of gameplay, like the FV304 but with lower range and more HE power. High gun arcs to clear cover. Short range would require arta to get close, be vulnerable, shooting would likely cause some sort of map ping or other notification to other players, but then the arta could retreat quickly to reload and go again. This would allow for mobility buffs in most cases, view range buffs so they aren't blinder than Ray Charles, while making them closer combatants, more vulnerable; and still keeping the indirect fire mechanic. Of course, this also relies on the wheelies getting nerfed so they don't break the early game like they keep doing.

[@somnorila9913]

It definitely is. Hitting targets, specially moving targets is easier from the top down view than the angled view. The only time the second angled view is the better choice is when there are some obstructions like rocks, mountains and windows and you need to aim on vertical. There are some maps with weird locations where aiming from top view is impossible as the reticle jumps sticking to the nearest map element. Like K8, J9 Glacier when shooting from southern base, the path is through the mountain, some of the rocks are forming a ceiling and it's impossible to shoot there with arty without the angled view. But every other situation the top view is best to get more consistent hits.
