6.0 unplayable now?

Why do ppl complain about the arty vehicles? They are nearly universally bad.

Yes, they can kill you. But you can kill them back just as easily. They have very low velocity and struggle at ranges beyond 500m. They die to AA and planes constantly. They aren’t particularly fast and are universally large profile vehicles.

6.0 was only viable when 7.7 was eating the hordes of 6.7s. Now that most 7.7s went to 8.0 you end up with 6.7 seeing far more downteirs.

No one is playing 5.x. Nearly no nation has a strong list and with things like the IS2 getting upteired to uselessness you don’t have nearly as many ppl playing around that br.

In a panther that’s an easy job as the tortoise is missing an average of 30mm armour across the whole vehicle. Shoot the MG turret and then the hull MG and its ideas 100% of the time. its doable with some of the weakest APHE shells of the BR too.

King tigers are more of an issue but barrel and track torture is always an option, its how I cripple maus tanks in a fox for someone to kill

Fair but my point still stand. Uptiers to 6.7 still sucks and that’s not counting for the folks who bush up their vehicles specifically to make that harder

After a while you can identify tanks even when they are bushed all the way up, plus you mentioned arcade which literally tells you where to shoot.

You would think that, then volumetric decides your shell gonna also hit these 2 weird plates or something that overlap a tiny bit the aim assist didn’t take into account and get greeted with a nonpen.

I only ever have that issue with a couple premium russian vehicles and T34s because I’ve learnt the weakspot on most vehicles in game now. the game is just very wonky at times and even the best player cant beat that

For me it was trash for a long time now. But I also only ever use a Germany 6.0 set up. On the other hand that lineup does not care about uptiers. It makes it more annoying, yes. But not difficult due to me not using heavy tanks often. Now… 5.7 does not yield much better of course. Still plenty uptiers.

Might just be you

During the event 6.0 was pain in the… you know where. But not only 6.0, lower BR’s even worse for me.
Yesterday was different, better and more fun. I play Italian tt right now.

Someone aught to setup a discord server for people having shitty games who need a squad buddy to lighten the mood and the load.

Me in my T29,M551 76, and 7.0 Jet lineup: What? noooo… it’s fiiine. On a more serious note german heavies hard counter w-key pressers of other nations so they will keep overperforming because of bad players while also still under performing against people who can read maps and aim.

I play a lot of 6.3 (Super Hellcat lineup) and frankly the only “issue” I have with the big M109 stuff or related is that they keep giving copy paste vehicles to like 5 different nations all at once.

As for the actual vehicles themselves, I dont have any problems honestly. They are easy to kill, big targets, and most of them can be .50 cal’d.

Also they are easy meat for strafing in my planes.

People saying the M109 and others are easy meat for strafing obviously haven’t met some HE-VT lovin’. That’s driver error rather than the fault of that artillery piece that can swat your ass out the sky. I do agree that there is nothing OP about the SPGs, but they sure are fun to use and they do kill everything.

Yeah, that’s a good line-up. But I have an addiction to a certain US 6.7 vehicle…

Spoiler

Totally agree about German players around that BR. So I typically get my KT fix by playing the Swedish one or I’ll use the KT 10.5 at 7.0. My bread and butter is nuking German players by shooting them sweet sweet turret cheeks.

why are the worst players using german Tanks?

Ah yes, The spoiler’d bane of a very, VERY unlucky 5.7 full uptier. I’d rather face a Kv-220 with a 5.0-5.3 vehicle

Let’s all forget about biggest problem on that BR …M 51

I mean, it might be big monitor bias, but you can tell when they are looking at you and tracking you. You can also bait them/work with other aircraft to engage. Though teamwork is OP I agree when it actually goes in (I personally love to work with other aircraft engaging SPAA/radar SPAA and M109s/equivs in a strikemaster using SURAs, very fun).

Do remember they take time to lift the gun unless they have an amazing crew/spaded the vehicle often times, take advantage of that by flying over them and attacking from an angle they are not ready for and firing small burst and pull away, not over commit like most planes like to do.

I have complained about this before as well. It does make playing WW2 armour pointless in a WW2 game

That thing any good? Have had it since 2020 but have rarely used it. Too busy with 279 and others.

No worries - nuke them in orbit.

Seriously, though. I’m not saying it’s the easy way, I’m not saying it’s the most efficient way - and you shouldn’t just sit in spawn trying to SPAA in them. But people act like they’re totally defenseless. Generally, I’ll be on the front line with the SPG taking on ground and always keeping an eye on air spawn. As soon as someone air spawns, I’ll pull back and position myself to stealthily nuke them as they make their run. That’s the ideal way. Don’t expect to be able to do anything if your spawn is being strafed by 5 air at once. Thankfully for nations like USSR and Germany, they have very effective SPAA in the SPG’s line-up, anyway. Maybe the Skink is actually really good, but I just haven’t given it much of a chance. From what I’ve seen, USA/British M109’s generally breath easy because air is flooded with their planes.

Why is a 109 even in a game with WW2 armour? I mean really WTF on a most basic tank/tank game loving level.
