Again, i don’t mind some of them.
I am genuinely hyped for the Hummel, but thats because i plan on just using the APHE.
But the copy and pasting of the M109, M44, m55, and more is just getting annoying.
And the fact that some of them aren’t even added correctly is annoying, the GBT-155 should be able to throw 3 rounds down range in 15 seconds, then have the reload slow to about 10 sec a round. it also should have been on a Challenger or Chieftain hull, the Vickers hull was never the intended hull for the turret.
then make a bug report if you have a source, if you dont have a source then live with it
yeah but if they had only been added to one nation there wouldve been many people asking for it to also be added to their nation who used it
okay so you just dont like the ones that kill you when youre larping in a heavy tank?
No i Like ones that FIT THE DAMN GAME, the Hummel was used in direct fire as a Assault gun at times.
Same for the M7 Priest, and the American SPGs with the 155 Long Toms. The use of the 155 long toms to break the Siegfried line is one of the most famous uses of American direct Artillery EVER.
To quote the Chieftain: “When the Americans started using their 155 long toms as sniper rifles, the germans got a little scared”
But the M44, m109, m55, NEVER saw direct fire use.
All I can say is get good, because as far as I’ve seen assault guns and SPGs are absurdly easy to kill.

the crews wouldve all been trained in direct fire, its standard for artillery crews and has been for a while, and the vehicles all had direct fire sights you cant get that increasingly specific in criteria for implementation to the game, because people would still ask for them and they can have a place in the game, so they would be added
also if youre okay with some of them your problem clearly isnt with the overpressure mechanics
And ultimately what fits the game is up to the devs

Dude I want whatever you are on. Why are you acting like I can shoot a Tiger’s hull and have it penetrate and overpressure, or like 155s are magic weapons that kill everthing from a shot to the upper front plate in general. Every now and then a 155 can kill someone, but that’s why you have to be careful. They can also all be killed by machine gun fire.

Well, naval overpressure has to be fixed as well; there’s no way a 9 400 mm HE shell is going to blow up 3 destroyers immediately.
I don’t understand the issue. You are being shot at by what is, for game purposes, a large calibre tank destroyer with no gun depression.
If it was a Su-100-P instead of an M109, or a Nashorn instead of an M55, you would get vaporised anyway. Why is it acceptable for large calibre AP to be a counter to heavy tanks, but not for large calibre HE?
Realism wise, artillery in WW2 was the #1 tank killer.
Don’t you mean AT guns? 🤔
This is because HESH needs a buff, not because HE needs a nerf.
You can also look up pictures of Panthers and Tigers that got bonked by 152mm HE shells. They were not having fun.
Correlation is a capricious god. I could just as well point out that they started adding a million support vehicles (Arty, SPAA, light tanks) at every BR once ground got perilously close to the most modern of systems, way more so than air. It’s no coincidence that since then they’re been extremely conservative with MBTs, adding APS versions as copies etc, while flooding trees with support vehicles. This is what the drip feed content industry looks like, mate. You stretch it to make it last as long as possible.
Sounds like a double standard to me.
Repeat after me: reload is a soft balancing factor in WT
Again, drip feed content industry. The Vickers version is the premium. Eventually we’ll see the other two, probably one in the TT and one as event/BP. Even Germany will eventually get one based on the Leo1 hull imho.
So? We do crazy shit all the time with all the vehicles we have in the game. I guarantee you no Tiger II crew ever did the real life equivalent of jumping down the Ash River cliff like Kratos because it was urgent to contest the B point before tickets ran out.
Now that’s a ridiculous take.
HE slingers still have to aim and vehicles themselves are often pretty hard to use with long reload times, poor reaction times and awful gun depression.

Having to aim at weakspots to pen heavy tanks with APHE: I sleep
Having to aim at weakspots to overpressure heavy tanks with HE: real shit???
