Since you have a replay, you should follow the round and see what happens to it

The idea would rely on having coordination between players which is asking too much in my opinion. The SL reward would certainly be low for someone, likely the spotter.
the M109 is mobile artillery and solely artillery, the soviet SU-76 in the war was used as both mobile artillery and anti-tank, the soviet Bm -8-24 is mobile artillery as is the Bm-13N, the German Brummbar is artillery, the calliope was used as mobile artillery, and the M8 HMC was a mobile motor which is a form of artillery. The G6 on the British Line as well as the British Matilda Hedgehog are both mobile artillery. Doesn’t matter what the roles gaijin has given them, their real-world role is artillery. And no matter how much you want to deny it, this game has mobile artillery units in it.
This is true but you cannot use them like artillery They are not Tank destroyers the way War Thunder has that listed thank you for your opinion you and I both know why we can’t use them as artillery pieces in this Game and it is not right on War Thunder part. This is one of their drummed-up examples of putting more junk in the game or units that cannot do what they’re supposed to do I have always said if you’re going to put something in the game make sure works like it’s supposed to not the way that you wanted to and calling it a tank destroyer is BS!!! In the picture I posted I waited in that spot to see where smoke rounds Fall and they never came down and hit the ground I figure they went into orbit Lol which is BS that we all know so on that point the way the game is because of the programming we will never be able to use them as artillery and this is wrong because of the programmers they don’t know what the hell they’re doing when it comes to programming artillery pieces into the game you know that’s one thing I got to say about WOT at least they got to know how to do it but why put something in the game that don’t work like it’s supposed to and that is the beef that I have with War thunder!
Would having an alternate aiming mode like WOT help facilitate what you are asking?
That’s essentially what he wants and we are all telling him no. A WOT system simply is one not gonna be fun to fight against and 2 you would be getting hit from however far the effective firing distance to the distance it can fire up to is. Which is the whole map. Aside from that he said this in a discussion rather than a suggestion meaning it’s being ignored.
I don’t want anything to do with World of Tanks and I don’t want it like World of Tanks you can’t bring a mobile artillery piece into a game and call a tank destroyer when it is not a tank destroyer this is what I’m saying and if you can’t see that from what I’ve written then you’re a kid that doesn’t know anything so grow up and do a little research because tank destroyers are not mobile artillery pieces and they shouldn’t have brought them into the game and less they were going to be allowed to be used like there’s supposed to be used
MTBs shouldnt have an artysupport. Light tanks and Flak yes, but realy not MBTs in the Toptiers…
I want to see some Arty in the game. Because of not available tanks i use in Hightierbattles Sturmtiger and others, but that cant be the solution in this game!
All artilleryvehicles are forced to direkt shot and hit like other tanks but… yeah, you know…
Thats not the “real” use of them.
They also should be there to destroy hidepositions or houses that the teammates can aim the enemy.
Ah yes the good ole days of world of rally tanks. As much as I enjoyed arty it just wouldn’t work here, current setup works for the gameplay/maps ect. Carl’s would find a way to abuse it and that in turn would cause more harm than good. Just my opinion.
Oh, I know how to read. However, what you wrote is incomprehensible. I am positive several of us were taking bits and pieces of the essay grade paragraphs you wrote just to figure it out. I also close my case given you rather just insult a person.
You insulted me! So go back to school
Read the joke. You wrote a paragraph that no one entirely could understand. If you think of something that could be added give us a straight-to-the-point, not a college-grade essay.
They were added because players wanted them added. Sure they cant do their built purpose but honestly, when was the last time you saw players using their vehicles as that vehicles doctrine suggested?
I’ll give you this one. There’s probably been 1 or 3 times at best where I’ve seen people use their vehicles to their historical job titles. Only pushing up once it was primarily clear.
The whole point I’m trying to make is why put something in the game that can’t be used for what it is intended to be used for and call it something that it is not? And call it a tank destroyer when it’s not that’s the whole point it was stupid for them to call it a tank destroyer when it’s not seeing what I’m getting at here is a picture of a tank destroyer and here is a picture of a mobile artillery piece
OK one of these has light armor can you guess which one LOL that cannot go up against Tanks on the battlefield it has to stay in the rear area or will be taken out and lose it!
Just because a vehicle shouldn’t doesn’t mean it can’t. Artillery pieces including Artillery tanks, a historical example the FLAK 8.8 truck, was meant to be for Anti Air however it started to get used to engage enemy KV-1 tanks as well with great effect, it’s not its job but it does it damn well just like the STUG Assault Guns not meant to kill tanks but does a good job at it. if forced to can be used to engage direct targets however it is not what it is designed for. Also, this is a video game. Do you think we give af? Sure we wouldn’t mind the idea of functional artillery however maps are just not big enough for it and most of us will prefer a spotter drone or in WW2->late Vietnam era, a spotter plane.
This would only give you the positioning as well as the elevation but you would still need to do some math to figure out your distance, you would also need to use the sight distance controls and adjust accordingly.
Actualy in this game there are few vehicles that are or were SPAGs like the low tier katusha truck or that premium HE spammer. Gajin was lazy when they made them and only way to use them is as a tank.
I think Flak 8.8 truck was never meant to actually be used against Air as primary. If im not wrong First batch was given to Heavy TD troops for bunker busting with some towed 88s and then they realized that towed ones were awful for that job while keeping truck mounted and improving them for bunker busting and TD duty.
Armor has nothing to do with this. Here is SU-100P self-propeled Anti-tank gun and it has even less armor then M109, but it is still meant to fight against tanks.
Also you have not explained how are you going to use your indirect fire artillery pieces in maps like Cologne, Alaska and Breslau.
