They added a warning when artillary is locked on you. Being a 7 year player I play aggressive and often artillary punish front line tanks making me a high target. The new warning feature when artillary is locked onto you is extremely helpful.. I usually have an idea when arty is locked onto me from experience but seeing the warning sign actually makes me want to move away.. this surprised me how effective the warning was.

@@johnryan6658 🤣🤣🤣

here's my 2 cents with the update, how it's going to shake down ... - arty fires faster, less effective per shot, major nerf to splash, needs extended playtime to rack up dmg - players will become increasingly skittish when lit up that arty is targeting them causing skittish gameplay as well as lots of missed arty shots. This also leads to new tactics to shape gameplay, like I will hover over targeted tanks/players and cause them to move out of position or alter their shot angles against my teammates etc ... - the big thing is: high tier arty will eat silver, will be very expensive to run. More shots = more silver expenditure. - previously, players would go full prem because of splash and to maximize performance because every shot counts. With reduced splash and skittish gameplay, silver expenditures are through the roof now which will eventually alter gameplay in the future. It will be expensive to run Conq GCs, T92s, GWE 100s etc ... especially for not so good players that don't earn silver well. - this will keep pushing prem tank play/prem time for people to keep their silver reserves in the positive. For example I ran the GWE100 and did ~ 4k dmg. I'm a decent player (2 marked the GWE) and running a prem account my game was a negative 100k silver loss. I predict that arty play will dwindle significantly because of this. So, you guys get your wish ... eventually. - I think that most people just focus on the negative QoL aspects that affect them like: wtf arty have so many hp?! why do they fire so fast!? There's 3 arty per team, oh noes! - more hp means more hp to farm. that's a good thing. Fast firing but less dmg output means mainly serious annoyance but less lethal unless you just sit still all the time. 3 arty will not be a thing much longer if the cost to play is too high. my credentials are 3 marked M53/55 plus others. I know what i'm doing in arty.

Are we being punished 🧐

The way artys were b 4 this update was perfectly fine and it's taking longer to get into a battle now than it was with one per team

What they should have done is to make changes that force arty players to think. All they really had to do IMO is to flatten the shell trajectory significantly, moderately buff HP, and make it so that they could only see enemies that are within their view range. Essentially, turn them into TD's that can shoot over small obstacles. It would keep them from sitting at the back of the map, force them to stick with teammates, learn map positions for cover/concealment, and reward knowing the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy tanks.

they also changed the RNG so shells are much more likely to hit the centre even when not aimed

I agree with accuracy buff and dmg drop but everything else was unnecessary

Here's what I see happening. First, the Arty will have a field day for about a week. By the second week, Folks will dust off their light tanks and make SPG's run for cover. By the third week, the mediums will come out to counter the lights and finally the heavies will be able to crawl out from under the rocks they have been hiding under for about a month. rinse and repeat. Seems like every time they change arty this cycle happens. I bet Wot even comes out with a premium light tank....oh wait, they just did!

Played a few games in low tier KV. Reds had 2 player platoon in m44s. Get tragetted forget it. You cannot move quick enough plus firing so fast. I can also see by the time you get to arties after fighting your way to them your likely to be on low hp and against a high hp arty that fires as quick as you. Great. Back to Cold War mode.

Check out the Obj 261 changes. It can reload in about 11-12 seconds. The only really broken arty imho. Arty has become more of an regular annoyance rather than a game ending rng fest. The 3x hp buff with high tier arty made no sense though. They should've removed AP/HEAT from arty like pc did too.

This must be War Gaming’s effort to push everyone to Cold War, Or War Thunder.

I detect a note of displeasure eh? Lol

thought i would pop on coop ww2...cant believe how many are on there...madness!...nice arty work wg :D

Honestly the Artillery Rebalance really isn't bad the fact that Damage has been reduced by 30-50% which limits Not only Artys ability to 1 shot but additionally has a massive impact on Splash (basically now you need to direct hit) thank god you dont have 212As dealing 600 Splash on a near hit any more is generally a positive change. Though of Couse to offset this and to try and keep arty effective WG of Couse had to increase performance in other areas and even with the accuracy buffs your shells are still heavily dependent on RNG. I will agree the Hit point buff was dumb And well Tier 6 Arty has always been the most OP there is no changing that but you got to remember the BERT has super limited range and Pre-Rebalance would only hit most targets for like 1-200 on a direct hit any way and needed to Hit a perfect hit on the Top Deck to do the Full 450 which means staying as close to your Max gun range as possible which in inherently diminishes accuracy. Now with the DMG reductions the Bert you are less likely to do even 100 Avg dmg especially against Tier 8HTs and its more likely your HE will just get absorbed because the DMG and Splash is to low to impact the armour of something like an IS3 for instance . The same goes for a lot of tanks as the Turret Roof armour on loads of vehicles was massively buffed like a year ago anyway. For me it nice that I can Actually Play HTs and Slow Super Heavy TDs without really having to worry about Arty and its overall impact as Artillery is not basically only hitting for Medium Tank Alpha Damage in their given tiers. Yes the Bert's and More annoying because of the frequency that they can fire at you but they are super ineffectual these days because of the changes. I think the only thing WG needs to do at this point it limit Arty 1 per game and maybe look at doing something about the HEAT rounds on the M44 and M41 because the fact they still have the same damage output of the HE which is still dumb or just Removing AP and HEAT shells in general from SPGS . and Reduce the Health increase quite a bit and it will be fine. But honestly Artillery is probably in the best State it could possibly be in and I guess it was either leave it alone. What they have done this update or just do What PC did and I guess its either this or Stun Mechanics so your Doomed not matter which way you look at it.

Intraclip is really bad and the average DMG on a non pen can hover around 55-60dmg per shot. Not good. - the tiering has changed. The '58 has overall been nerfed and the gwe 100 has probably now taken the right spot at the top. - I'm surprised at the lack of hate mail overall given the constant slapping. - getting marks of excellence is easier now IMO because when you turn something into a grind the poor and less skilled players will remain mediocre giving you room to gain moes.

And there I was thinking of starting to play again. Think I'll leave it deleted from the hard drive.

I guess this season I'll play Era 1 tanks.

Been playing tanks since the beginning, and never been a fan of the no skill click boxes....... opps I mean arty, but there is a easy fix. Have a option in to have server games with arty and without, and if arty players moan they can't get games then tuff poop. To have a option to play ww2 mode without arty would be good. It's a reason why I play cold war mode more now.

As an arty player i appreciate the buffs protecting me from yolo light tanks

I played today and in several games arty was in the top 3, now I really hate artillery and there players. So they really need to need balance the armor on all of the other tank classes? Maybe buff armor 300%?

To be honest I would have been happy with HP and reload buff with the alpha nerf, but the accuracy buffs are the problem. They should have left it as is cause in my experience arty rarely missed before the buffs.

I will say that in 4 games or so I am getting less combined (damage and tracking) than in the past. Perhaps this weekend I’ll do a real test.

Ebr 105 has 100 hp less than the t92 hmc. Nice

Judging by the size and thickness of the vehicle, that seems very valid to me.

@@georgehillyer7959 that means that vehicles like the Manticore or T100-LT should have less than a 1000 hp

@@AndyVasilev Judging by size and armor thickness, you are right. Game balance May enter into the equation.

I feel like someone in wargaming WANTS to kill the game. Between the fast auto loading/derpy light tanks and the arty, I've pretty much sold all my slow heavys and TD. That vast majority of my game time is in cold war now.

What a disgrace!

I mean I’m glad that I can’t get hit for 1000 in the maus or the type 5 anymore but idk if I wanted this

i play only arty wot i got all x tier and i love when i imagine tanks cry after one shot kill

Wargaming (in Clark Kent's dad voice) : "The world was not ready for you. It is time now. Fly, son!" Also, in the Store section, the description of Ultimate Game Pass says you will get Cobra instead of Aston Rex. Lazy company forgets to change the text.

it is pathetic, not only do they reload faster I was one shotted in stark strv s1. lovely then like you say, I hit the arty and did not kill because of the upgraded hit points and it shot gunned me. Terrible update ruining the game. Like you said you get tracked and just sit there and get pummeled by arty. Between that and the camping tanks... OMG

Auto loaders and game ruining light tanks still seem to be fine ?, funny old world , isn't it!

I note…sarcasm? And I agree.

Dude I only played arty to knock out other arty now it’s a pain to get rid of them last night I rammed a m44 with my scorpion thinking it would knock him out no it took 80% of his hp and I had to finish him off with a AP round. another thing that’s annoying actually two things the arty aim at you warning goes off even when the arty hasn’t detected you and then not sure if it’s a bug or not but when you’re killed and put in spectator mode you can no longer see how much damage you have done. im fairly frustrated with this update I’d rather just have arty the way it was and let the lights and arty knock them out.

I have the crash skill (forgot the name) as my 6th or so skill in artillery crews for that reason specifically.

I miss playable artillery. I'm an arty main on PC and it's been made completely useless. might jump over to the console and experience the good old days again.

Wargaming playing 5D chess. Buffs artillery, causes a shift for players to play Cold War mode, CW mode gets a bump in player count, players enjoy true vision and ultra fast shell velocity.

Again just for Christmas they screw it up....

glad to see 3 arty again tbh and i dont play arty. nice to have someone on overwatch.

guys who camp and know every spot on the map to farm damage from cant sit and bounce rounds anymore. i think the "balancing" mechanic hes talking about is people having to move alot more than they use to making the game more fun.

Not sure if you mentioned it but people who use artillery will be targeted even more😂 so maybe annoying light tanks will be killed more because being careless and keep going after artillery 😂
