Hello everyone!
After almost six thousand ground RB matches, I still have no idea how to counter artillery, especially above 7.0 where their reload rate drops to normal medium tank levels (if not light tank levels). They seem to simply counter everything, even aircraft since most of them have HE-VT with 3m of trigger radius. They also enjoy the “no armour best armour” saying.
What is the best way to counter them?
Depends, which you’re facing the most, what are your vehicles and so on. Each battle rating there’s a way to counter self propelled guns, some are more armored and mobile like the VIdAr, others are shoots quickly like the PzH 2000 and others are annoying like the M44 (according to the community).
Simply dont mess with them when they are not moving and looking in your direction. If i remember correct none of them have a Stabilizer and due to the centermass of these tanks is very high they take quite a while to stop wiggling after breaking. Use that as advantage.
But in general, dont mess with them. The minimum armor makes spall very little, the often 6 crew tanks will not die easy, if they hit you with the HE somewhere ure often simply dead, unless ure in a superheave or have spaced armor. Some of them have even laser rangefinder so even on distance they will screw you. Especialla PZH 2000 and Vidar… just better stay away from them.
Theres a reason why they are so popular… not much skill needed to score points, can fight everything, small tanks, big tanks, planes, they dont care, most are pretty mobile, u can shot enemys without direct line of sight (over ridgelines), some have laserrangefinder, you almost never die on the first hit you take… just very stong tanks in general, unless ure in a city and need to push… in every scenario they need to push and move they are more vulnerable then others.
