Put the Art in Artillery Again

Draschel:  Understanding, starts by being better. You aren't being better. I can't help you if you don't try.You can make all the claims you want. But not playing better, is a physical obstruction blocking you. 

Draschel:  I have not played artillery since pre-9.17. So my numbers do not reflect what artillery averages today. So my numbers are void, and don't mean anything.The best of players, we are talking about 11,000 PR people, commonly hate artillery as being something horrifically unbalanced. Sure, they know of things to mitigate artillery damage, but that doesn't change their notion on what artillery is and does. You said it yourself. If greater players operate and exceed within a game and its ruleset, but aren't there to preach and enforce the ruleset, whats the problem? There is no problem. War gaming employees and programmers make changes, not great or bad players. And war gaming, historically, moves on artillery as the single most often altered/nerfed class. Why is that? Ask yourself that. But whats not addressed, is the leaving out of people that just perform better, know better, know more. If generally what we see in population trends, the better a player performs, the more angst towards artillery they show, and more unbalanced they think it is - what does that tell us? By the way, you are a perfect example of what I described earlier. I just looked into it, for the first time. I find it hilarious, the irony. You see, you perform rather poorly in light tanks, mediums, heavies, tank destroyers. I can't say as to why, but I have hunches. Yet you step in an artillery, and HP point per HP point ratio, you perform far better. Far more contributory. Why is that? Again, I cannot say with certainty, as to 100% correctness, but again have educated hunches.  Play better, and understand. Don't? Well no one is forcing you to. But it means not understanding. The choice is yours.
