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…
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.
I enjoy that one too, although it appears yours has come with some aftermarket spaced armor :)

Oh, my bad, lol. You said KV-220, not KV-122, haha. KV-220 looks like KV-5 from WoT.
KV-220 is definitely not as broken as it used to, but it’s still very fun as hardly anyone knows how to properly engage it.
If those APHE changes proposed some time ago get implemented though, it will instantly become garbage

now? 6.0 was destroyed the moment HEAT-FS came out.
I just played USA at 5.7 using mostly the armour of the Cobra King and then Germany in the Porsche Tiger again using Armour. I am shocked at but a truly broken game it is.
Totally ruined and made point less by the Bakaan ,The M109 and Russian artillery ignoring WW2 armour.
What a stupid thing to do putting that rubbish in WW2 and ruining your own game 🤣
Which complete ass hat thought that was a good idea? I remeber now why I have ignored 5.7 used so long now.It used to be my main home in this game but its dead now and a joke.
2S3M and 2S1 aren’t an issue, neither is Bkan. Nor even the probably most annoying pre M109 SPH the Type 75 SPH was too problematic.
The reason for that was the fact that there were limited number of them. 2S3M and 2S1 aren’t very good, Bkan is very situational and Type 75 comes from a nation not many people play.
It all changed with addition of M109s tho. They are literally everywhere in stupid quantities and they get one of the most annoying features a tank can get which is being thin enough to not fuse majority of APHE shells coming at them.
Due to the fact that they were copypasted into nearly every nation in the game rather than an occasional threat they are now a constant bane of anyone who plays a heavy tank without a 12,7 hmg.
Sure they aren’t overpowered, but they are extremely annoying. M109 should have never been added to all the nations it ended up in. Only nation that should have received it was USA. Period. Not only doesn’t every nation need an SPH, even if they did all of them have some domestic counterpart that could have been added instead.
Kings of battle update with M109s and recent update with M44s were both peak of Gaijin’s laziness

You are missing the point really.They are a problem.They are such a problem that they make venturing out in the Cobra King utterly pointless.They make it totally obsolete which is what they would have been if they faced those vehicles in WW2. Its like taking a BT5 into 7BR as far as armour goes.
A couple of years ago we all knew what to expect when playing such a vehicle as the Cobra King or maybe Panther. Good protection was first.From the front very good protection and a chance of bouncing some shots.Maybe damage but a chance to see the enemy before you died and maybe take action.Maybe an instant death in rare case or if the enemy flanked you.
That was fine,frustrating maybe but that was how it was.
Now ? Boom dead ,thanks good bye.wasted your time going out in an armored heavy.
Artillery no problem? Not good ? What do I say to that statement without extreme profanity? 🤣
They are reason for the OP . Dont be fooled by the fact something has thin armour, it can still ruin a whole BR or tier.
You forget that those who use armour pay a severe weight penalty of speed but why do that when your Cobra King or Panther now has the protection of an M18 as far as the spam of artillery is concerned.
Sorry Gaijin ruined their own game. It might be slightly easier to take when the vehicle sin question is at least factual and not a sci fy time traveler .GRB is not an april fools event.
I agree with the numbers but that is out of our control and varies.
I have enjoyed War Thunder lately at 6.7 and looked past the WW2/Cold war mix
but at 5.7 -6BR it makes the game pointless and zero fun.I remembered why I gave it up.
Spot on there ,it is laziness and its a new breed of dumb dev with no knowledge of armour or understanding of much of the fanbase.
