…so you play AB.
that’s the reason ur dying to arty fire.
coulda said that
Indirect fire is possible in all modes - even Simulator - do try to use a little of the brain god gave you.
yeah, no shit. It’s only just infinitely harder without the green arrow telling you whether or not your round will connect.

multiple targets forced to stay stationary, densely packed while being shot at by multiple enemies that know their location and range with huge rockets rather than 155 shells = normal totaly not biased 100% average sig gameplay

M44 has better reaction time with almost double the horizontal laying speed and over 3 times the verticle laying speed.
Verticle speed per sec: 4° vs 15°
Horizontal speed per sec: 6° vs 10°
It also has much better angles. A bit more depression and like 20 times the horizontal traverse angles.
Vertical angles: -4/40 vs -5/65
Horizontal angles: -1/6 vs -30/30
Reload is 4 seconds longer but is much easier to aim and reaches the target faster.

I haven’t. It is an incredibly rare thing to see.
Personally I have been using the M44 at 6.3 and having a pretty good time with it there (had a horrible time at 4.0 with it oddly enough).
Surprised people are not complaining like mad about cold war vehicles in their WW2 games. Personally i expect to see its BR going up over time once gaijin fix its model a bit (cough crew with arms hanging out the side cough).
I feel like M44 could be 5.0+ tbh, at 4.0 that M107 is a teensy bit mad for such a mobile platform.

If you need the arcade cross then that’s your own personal skill issue.
Mobile platform… With next to no armor, a long reload, casemated…
BMP 3 + scout drone = my beloved mortar

It’s not a viable tactic but its certainly not entirely difficult to pull off. As long as your using smoke. Whichsmoke-basedd artillery is rather viable. Won a couple of matches that way.
AVRE go “10 seconds to impact” moment. For most vehicles it isnt, for a select few on certain larger maps, it very much is a viable tactic.

There is also that one guy that does it with a drone + BMD-4 I think?

Lmao.
The m44 is far more nimble and has a 50cal which is a blessing
Yep, scary
-
So 6 miles per hour and not much more maneuverability (all it has on it is neutral steering, which are almost the same turning if done while moving)
-
More TNT by .54kg which means jack since they both can kill everything in the game.
-
Turret traverse doesn’t mean much when you are A FIXED GUN.
-
More survivability I agree with which is why I have in my message the amount of crew and crew protected, while the Sig has more armor the m44 has more crew which is more survivable.
-
More ammo yes and better sight arguably yes

You haven’t met someone who indirect fires have you? it’s amazing and very easy once you learn angle to distance. (this is why I said velocity doesn’t matter because some people will prefer the low velocity while others will prefer the high velocity)
So your argument for a 1.0 vs 4.0 is that 6 more shells, a 50 cal, and more survivability by not a very large margin is fair?
11 km/h higher forwards top speed, 7 km/h higher reverse speed, neutral steering, and a difference of 7.55 hp/ton, from an abhorrent 9.69 to a value that is on par with light tanks at 17.24.
It has far better mobility, because not only does it have higher top speeds fowards and backwards but it is also far more capable of getting up to speed.
If you have a fixed gun, having higher traverse limits absolutely does mean something. If the M44 is incapable of moving (transmission or engine damaged, or driver knocked out), the gun can still traverse +/- 30 degrees to either side. The Sturmpanzer only does -1 and +6 degrees.
The fastest traverse speed also means it much more easily can aim and react to anything.

It’s a mutant at 4.0
Faster than most spgs within a BR or so.
Can 1-tap heavy tanks like Churchill and even Tigers.
Has a 50 cal (which most spgs do not have) that can defend against autocannon vehicles and even disable main gun of enemy tanks if they dont OHK the m44
And as some point out, it has super optics - up to x8. Only two other vehicles (Swedish ones) have better optics. Most opponents are far worse. So the M44 can target enemies at great ranges with great accuracy.
It’s not “fresh” anymore, but you still see tons of them - because it’s OP for the BR.
Should be raised to 4.3 minimum. 4.7 would probably be more reasonable.
Or the guy using scout drone and BMP-2M’s grenade launcher XD
