90% of em are the exact same “erhmm just don’t capture points” bs
I would like it if they added additional types of Arty and indirect fire.
I would like to see FIST-Vs and B-FISTs (and other nation equivalent) be able to call down accurate fire with different types of munitions like DPICM or to use HIMARS and laser and GPS guided munitions.
It wouldn’t be OP considering that you’d have to maintain eyes on a target, they have to stay in the engagement area, and then you have to wait for munition to be delivered. It’s no more/less OP than other types of guided munitions.
Not sure what a FIST-V or B-FIST is, but high BR SPAA that are literally incapable of hurting tanks without artillery should get top attack cluster artillery or precision guided artillery.
I’m also of the opinion that MBTs and Medium tanks don’t really need artillery call-in any longer. As a vet from tanks CBT, artillery was added for the purpose of suppressing entrenched heavies/heavy mediums. (People ended up using it as a sort of drone/mast view to look over high walls or hills) This was back when heavy tanks had very very few decent counters.
But now? MBTs are the top dogs, heavy tanks are rarely impossible unless in a very bad matchup, and even a large number of LTs have performance good enough to go without artillery.

Skill issue.
Arty is absolute BS, but 99% of players die to it prolly only once every 50-100+ games (depending on what vehicles they use)

I use tank destroyers. Most of them are paper thin and 50 cals can waist your ass most of the time…so on that note, Every game like I said either its Artillery or planes. It’s complete BS.
Then 1. play realistic where there’s no nametags, or 2. play another nation.
1 So you cant see bright orange smoke and move?
2 It’s not a take game it is a combined arms game with planes as well.
So do you disagree with the OP now ?
The only way i ever died to artillery was when i got immobilized or was repairing and unable to move.
I am pretty sure the notion that there is a dangerous enemy artillery emplacement (an immobilized tank with a powerful gun with good cover) getting artillery called on it is not alien to you.
Americans kind of did it a lot on the western front.
Getting kills with it? Same as how i die + entire enemy team clumps into a tiny corridor without the ability to move out. Latest of the second case was on sinai where the enemy team decided to go hull to hull near the rocks outside the city area.
I died to artillery for the first time in a long time yesterday. Got caught in that small window where i was far enough away from the area so i didn’t get the notification and when i got to the area the smoke was already gone and i was in a light tank. My only thought was thats an odd place for a arty strike since it was more of an intersection.
It is annoying when almost all of the enemy team decide to through artillery on a capture point at the start of the match, but its effective area denial.
But it’s an unreasonable ask to move your tank a few meters…

Complete and utter skill issue, my friend. CAS isnt a problem if you know how to be somewhat situationally aware, same with arty.
Literally just move two meters to the side ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Moving before artillery is like taking cover after being shot towards. you don’t have to do it but you should

And die to the guy pinning me and my teammates down?
So it’s completely reasonable to start and grind a new nation when experiencing issues with dying but dying once to artillery is the worst possible thing known to man
It’s completely reasonable to stop playing arcade
This is what you said. You told him to grind a new nation or relearn the entire game and meta
But you can’t accept dying to artillery once?

when did I say play realistic and play another nation? Also I know this is hard for you to understand, but just because som1 else has an issue with CAS doesn’t mean arty is perfectly fine.
Are you ok?
Tell me exactly where I said and.
It is unreasonable to say “just play a different nation”
