Arty's Sad Situation

Guido1212, on Jun 28 2021 - 09:27, said: All,   Played a bunch of arty, both at top and mid tiers.  It's a mess.  Even more of a slot machine now with even less payout.  The shells are "Bad", "Really Bad", and "Good Luck sucker enjoy your RNG biscuit".  The more involved and tactical gameplay which was supposed to be the goal just isn't there.    You can still be deleted when very low HP behind cover from the red line.   Counter arty is still useless as the splash isn't enough and you have to basically have a direct hit.  The tracers are still very difficult to see at the point of origin, which is what is needed to counter.  They are plenty bright at impact and from the ground view, but the top down at point of origin is just as hard to see as last patch.   The missions were not touched, not even a slight effort was put forth.  We are waiting for the "numbers", which sadly are the things that gave us this change.   The only plus side is the AP/HEAT rounds are slightly more useful in end game TD mode operations.   It will be a long time (if ever) before it is looked at again judging from the past, so we'll be living with this for a long time.   Guido
