In my opinion, the idea behind the WIP blogs was extraordinary, so long as they weren’t followed by Dev Blogs of the vehicles already covered in WIP blogs, because it’s redundant and comes in detriment to blogs that could be bringing in new information.
Yay! The 500th Chinese SPG that nobody will ever use
wow, but china have too many spg and i dont want to grind all of them
Please try to stay on topic!
I dont think argument here is that it is not unique but rather that SPHs dont fit the WT gameplay loop at BRs they are placed at.
Even in that case, this is not what “slop” means, at least imho. Slop is low effort with mediocre quality. Many criticisms can be applied to the HE slinger spam of recent years but I feel like slop only applies to a few of those.
As for gameplay, eh, they don’t fit any worse than a KV-2, Brummbär or FV4005. Donkey vehicles have always been in this game and usually they’re not very meta defining. The biggest problem with the recent wave of SPHs is that there’s so many in such a short time span. At least imho.
There is not enough information and no test drive.
I mean I’ll buy it but I also collect vehicles in the game
999999TH premium SPG how boring please don’t let the whole update be this mild gaijin
Nice.
Not going to be particularly amazing, but it’ll be a good ground arcade machine, and a unique addition to an amazing tech tree.
MBTs are of course superior to this vehicle, so I won’t complain about its BR.
did my post get flagged? by who? and why?
I’m hoping it’s bad enough that it’s a 6.7 or good enough that it’s a 7.7 or 8. It does me no good if I don’t have a decent lineup for it.
Sonion?
Great another horribly under BRed derp gun.
Could we maybe try to find a way to implement artillery other then forcing it down to ridiculously low BRs to torture WW2 vehicles before flooding the game with it?
You could say the same thing for any number of of premiums flooding the game, you may be right but there are clearly plenty of not sane players willing to buy these things.
If they’d just make a good artillery mechanic for indirect fire.
But no.
No they can’t come up with some cool concepts and a test environment like they’ve done for other stuff. They get treated as tank destroyers which is nuts.
They never should have been added.
Only the direct fire guns like SU-152, StuH 42 etc should’ve been added.
Over time, I have put a lot of time (and money) into grinding out multiple crews for multiple nations because when I started playing this game each nation had a unique flavor and playstyle without an option for some playstyles in each tree. I wish I was starting WT now, really all I would need to do is maybe 2 nations at most to get every style in the game, would have saved me a bunch of time and money.
As for HE slingers from the cold war ruining WWII armor meta, cold war light tanks with HeatFS already did that much more thoroughly.
Only spgs that were made primarily for direct fire should have been added.
Indirect fire systems have no place here
A good example is the hungarian pzh2000 (which was removed because nobody bought it) and when was the last time you saw the vidar?
Should the tank be removed just because it’s not selling well?I don’t think it’s for that reason.
