who camping in corner of map never spotted and make deep damage all
the time in game? Yea why don't you ask that WG? So players with
SPG knowing where the campers is! Same for the Arty! When the SPG
is spotted so much, everything is revealed, the time when the
reload, where it is coming from etc..TD one hit 700HP until
1400HP, Not spotted, SPG one shoot 200HP ( or the famous one, I
didn't even scratch it 
and reload 42 seconds and "spotted", all possible
mechanics is involved to know where it is ( which is nothing
but the total degradation of the people who play the SPG ) So
with this technical change of yours AGAIN you are destroying the
SPG and the players who love it SPG! When you make a tracker
for TDs that do indescribably much damage ( at the end of the
fight they brag about their achievement ) , not detected in
the background of the map SAME as SPG but (which doesn’t do as much
damage because it can’t) then you can list it all!
What you are planning does not excite me at all, it is sad that you
are doing it because of a group of individuals who are constantly
creating your game to their liking! Because of their
popularity, make a "division-separation" of maps, maps where
there is no SPG in the game at all, that’s my advice for you!
Also keep in mind to restore the SPG to be more powerful-on the
maps where it is present and you have solved everything but give
people satisfaction! I believe this will help you and that you will
accept this advice! Truly 
Dwigt: To answer your question, why not add a tracer for TDs (or every
other vehicle) - In a TD you need a clear and
straight line of sight to be able to shoot your target. Plus,
we already have the shoot indicator telling you where that shot
came from. It's much easier to know where that shot came from and
for you to blindfire that bush and most of the time that TD is in
the spotting range and will be immediately spotted. On the
other hand, SPGs play differently. They can sit behind hills,
rubbles or in ditches, snipe without being spotted and you're not
able to retaliate or even blindfire. The point of that tracer
is to give you a rough estimate of the direction and where that
shot is coming from but not to reveal the exact location of
the SPG. That's why you need to keep an eye on the sky, the tracer
will not last long and will not show you a complete shell
trajectory. Yes it might be easier now to pinpoint their location
but the main point of that tracer is for the player receiving those
shells so they can predict their movements and know how to cover
their tank. IMO this shell tracer will lead to 2 things: SPGs
will have to relocate (while reloading) to avoid enemy SPG shells
and SPGs will have other priorities: hunting other SPGs
thus giving more space to slow/heavy tanks to play
around.

again people state that limiting arty to 1 will do the job. But WG
never listens to feedback. Yes, they understood that a part of the
players are annoyed by arty. But for actual solutions they do not
listen, and never will. Part of their company DNA.
Personally I'm against most changes (traces are ok). This will lead
to the termination of arty in the game. So I will test this in the
SB as arty, but I will be AFK to show the effect in the real game.Dwigt: Listening to the community doesn't always mean we should
reduce/remove the vehicle or feature from the game. We acknowledge
that there is a problem and we try to fix it and satisfy all
parties and in that case, SPG players, non SPG players without
killing an entire line. Only the results will show us (and you
eventually) if we're going in the right direction.

SPG sandbox on test server; One SPG appears in the game, rarely two
and what is the culmination of nonsense is often not a single arti
in the game !? What's the problem!? HOW to test the impact of SPG
on a game if we play games without SPG !? On the other hand
when you play SPG, certainly a painful experience, nothing changes,
it’s just worse to play than before, especially low tier. e.g. Why
does the FV305 have no other choice of grenades than just APs which
are useless if you don't hit the tank directly which was difficult
before and now it's impossible, first because of the slowness of
the grenade, second because of RNG and third because the vehicles
are moving, it's still tanks Dwigt: The point of the sandbox is to reproduce a close environment to the
live server while we test the new mechanic which means you will
have 0 to 3 SPGs and a reason why SPGs are not included in the
missions.
