"have I overstayed my welcome? have I been lit too long?" The_Chieftain: Almost always when I get killed by arty, my response to
myself is "Well, I saw -that- one coming" because almost always,
I've asked myself "Have I been here too long?" answer "Yes", and
foolishly stay to get that one last shot in...

tier 9 and t10 tanks should outfit them not for damage, but so that
they can soak up artillery fire for the team? Interesting. The_Chieftain: Yep. Face it. If you're in a
Maus/T95/JagdE100/Otherbigthing, you're going to be a prime target
for artillery. Those big things are the primary prey for artillery,
indeed, in the great Rock/Paper/Scissors of the game environment,
they are the primary reason for artillery's existence. This being a
given, you can either just deal with it as a hazard, or you can
accept it and try to use it to your advantage.
Quote and just looked up the spall liners..not sure adding 500-1500kg to your tank that has issues dodging arty is really the way to go.
The_Chieftain: You've said it yourself. These vehicles already have issues
dodging arty, and you -will- take arty damage. You may be able to
avoid the direct hit, but you are unlikely to avoid the splash.
Accept it now, and be equipped accordingly. And, frankly, 1,500kg
isn't a hell of a lot on your 100-ton+ tank.

use XVM as an attempt to win games by focusing the "purples".
Seriously, we get focused no matter what tank we are playing, hell
I've been focused by 3 tier 8 arty while playing an ELC, they spend
the entire game trying to shoot me. For a lot of us, this is a
really fun-sapping part of the game, our ability to win games
results in us being the focus of abnormal amounts of incoming fire,
while we have absolutely no means of returning fire, for the arty
its all reward with no risk. Then you get people who are in
the lesser skill range who try to explain to us that arty is easily
avoidable, meanwhile, they don't receive a fraction of the
attention we do.The_Chieftain: I bold the important bit. So these guys are apparently
focusing on you for the entire game, and thus spending said entire
game not applying damage to your bigger, heavier team mates. I'm
going to hazard a rough guess that you won this one as your
unmolested heavies rolled over their main line force who were
receiving no artillery support? If so, congratulations, enemy arty
were idiots and you did well. Where's the problem?
