Arty damage reduction

Draschel:  You need to understand, that this is a FPS. When this FPS, went through its beta, and was released - it did not have artillery as a class. It was a game, with heavy tank class at the core, and with tendrils emerging out for your tank destroyers and light tanks, as supporting very different classes. Different as they may be, they could still be ultimately boiled down to - do these stringent, mechanical concepts still apply to them, or not. And yes, they do, black and white.  Artillery threw that model, immediately into disarray, even 10 years ago when first released and only going to tier 6 momentarily. Even to this day, it continues, and they are nerfed occasionally. Because they do not fit a FPS model, they do not fit the game core heavy tank class environment, they are what we call ''white'' in the model. Artillery will continue in getting nerfs, mark my words why are not done, and the crying will continue with it. Because you cannot fix this white, in a black and white model. You need to remove it, or make it black, like the rest, following the game's initial concept, and core rules other classes are bound to. The class of artillery, just is not good for the game. It may have users, yes. People play them, yes. But that does not promote the game as fair, and balanced. But rather disrupts it. Unfortunate, but true. Either make tank destroyers, new tech tree lines, and subsequently modify their HP, soft dispersion, accuracy, aim-time, and provide them with something like a HEAT premium choice so they can penetrate armor, and really - these vehicles all of a sudden do not perform any real different than SU152, or  Hetzer/T40 low tier.  The second choice, much harder to make, is removal and reimbursement.
