SPG Rebalance: Changing the Stun Parameters

Iridiumalloy, on 22 March 2019 - 05:22 PM, said: Firstly, WG please stop using the word MODIFY when you actually mean REDUCE. You are fooling no one with half a brain! You don't replace the word INCREASE with MODIFY so please don't do so for the word REDUCE. Say what you mean, stop trying to hide the truth. Secondly, a small reduction on stun time is not a major issue, but isn't it about time you addressed some other artillery issues in comparison to other tank types: 1) ridiculously long reload times for artillery above tier 5 2) ridiculously long aim times for artillery above tier 5 3) ridiculous accuracy parameters, such that shells are either almost perfectly on target or, as is often the case, way off target even outside the aiming reticule. 4) excessively cheap shells (yes, I am complaining that the shells are too cheap!) 5) excessive amounts of damage done compared to some other shell types (yes, I'm complaining about this too!) 6) insufficient dips and hollows in the maps for arty to hide in whilst still being able to "see" a decent portion of the map. For most tanks it does not matter how big or small a house or rock or hill is for hiding behind as long as it is just big enough, but for artillery, if the obstacle is too big we cannot shoot over it, and shooting around it is not an option. I also agree that 3 artillery units per game is too much, this should be reduced to a maximum of two units.

This game shouldn`t be played by anybody.  From now on the arty will be insignificant in the game. No stun, no damage, long reloading time as well and new french vehicles to get fast and kill them. Where are the pros??? Where is the old artie gone? Doing the same thing as in Word of Warships. Destroying the game..

So when after 12 seconds of a 20 second stun a tank is hit with a new 23 second stun, that's it. It will remain stunned for the next 23 seconds.   I find it unrealistic that the second stun would result in a shorter stun because that tank was already stunned.

Already now, it is like a dead castraded mule. 
You wrote earlier there have/are many complaints about stun, what about all the other complaints about MM, RNG, OP tanks, new op premium tanks, obsolete ols prem tanks, wheelies etc.?
Like so many here has pointed out, it is so easy to balance, reduce number of SPG's to one or two per side.
