I know this question has been asked hundreds, thousands of times, but I deem it so crucial that I will ask again:
Is there gonna be a limit for artillery in games ? Right now, the battles are swarmed with this vermin like a maggot-ridden cheese.
Though I am a arty-hater, I understand that there is a group (apparently quite large group) of players enjoying this strange class of easy-mode satelite-uplink vehicles, so the "No Arty Battle" is not an option. Must be quite fun, raining death from distance while you have the other hand free to eat your sandwich . But you have made it a bit too easy as it seems- it almost looks like there is more orbital cannons than actual tanks. Battles with eight or ten of these "I-was-afraid-to-go-into-battle-so-I-grew-an-espionage-satelite" vehicles are no rarity, sometimes the count grows to more than twenty.
While in lower counts arty can be funny, and on rare occasions it is even an asset for the team, in high concentrations as we experience now the battle loses much of its sense. There is not much point in advancing - even if the poor tanker is not blown off the map, he could not get the fight done - as there always would be a bunch of profiteers sitting in some bush behind him who get the spoils. Seen it countless times, over and over.
To cut it (sorry for the rant), the arty is overpopulated, just as it was in pre-0.6.6. Something should be done.
