How many of you would have more fun without sky cancer? UPDATED No arty game...

The_Chieftain:   Why were you "Hiding behind a small hill"? For starters, if you're still being spotted in order for arty to aim on you, you suck at hiding. Secondly, 'hiding behind a hill' does not require 'staying stationary', if you had been. The same rules for survival in the open apply against indirect fire when also susceptible to direct fire also apply for survival in the open against indirect fire when not susceptible to direct fire. I don't care where I am, if I am stationary, get whacked by arty, even if it comes as an utter surprise to me in the belief that they didn't know I was there, my immediate reaction is to berate myself for overconfidence and being an easy target. Not to curse the arty guy who was doing his job, evidently effectively.   Secondly, you have no way to know the targeting prioritization of the attacking artillery. Perhaps it was hitting the highest XVM number. Perhaps it was an assessment that the E-100 didn't seem likely to go anywhere, and that the faster medium was actually a greater threat to the team in the event that he use his speed to get to a position of advantage. Perhaps the arty was already aimed in your general direction, and decided to take a less-likely crack at you instead of resetting his aim time to go for the E-100. Perhaps the E-100, slow though it may have been, was not staying stationary and you were. Perhaps you were less healthy, and the assessment was to take a gun out of play, instead of damaging the E-100. I've used all of those (Except XVM, as I don't use it) as factors in my targetting criteria, and probably others.   But if you want to believe that the only possible reason that artillery hit you was because the guy is using XVM, then go on ahead, and keep getting yourself blown up.
