Pubbies are generally terrible at either aspect of counter-battery fire. I had some dipshit S-51 take a splash hit from my own S-51, lose ~340HP, then remain hiding behind the same loving bush for 50 seconds while I relocated/reloaded. Unsurprisingly, my next shot wiped him out.

I bought the CS-52 LIS and it's pretty dang good. Stronk gun, great mobility, no glaring weaknesses, even bounces some shots. It's definitely worth picking up.

Der Shovel posted:I can't believe WG are still allowing three arty per team matches. One per team is fine, but it's 2 or even 3 in pretty much every game and it loving suuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks. The other day, I was bitching in our platoon about how every loving game had arty, usually 2 or 3 per side. There was I believe 1 out of 20 battles without arty. Wargaming has said that they want the range to be 0-3 arty per game, because by allowing up to 3 per game that pulls enough from the queue for some games not to have arty; limiting it to 1 per side would yield battles with arty every time. Well, their logic appears sound, except as described above, it doesn't really matter if there's a chance to have 0 arty when 95% of the battles have arty in them! I'd rather have 1 per game, every game, than 3 per game, every game, like typically happens now! Dravs posted:1 arty is fine I feel, it does help dig out people who just want to camp. 2 is the max of you want to play the game but 3 arty actually increases camping because as soon as anyone tries to do anything active they just get nuked. The "arty prevents camping" myth has been thoroughly debunked. There certainly are times where, towards the end of a battle, one of the remaining tanks might have a strong defensive position where indirect fire would be helpful. Most of the time, however, arty is just shooting at the tanks that are spotted and are otherwise playing as they're supposed to, e.g. HTs fighting in the western fields on Westfield. Arty fucks with other tanks and changes the way the game plays, and not for the better. BitBasher posted:I apologize in advance for what is likely to be an unpopular post: It's one thing to know from experience where arty can hit, where safe spots are, etc., but as I've already mentioned, arty changes the way the maps are played. You have to make the decision to change the way you'd play a map without arty, or play as you normally would and hope you're not unlucky enough to be "chosen." BitBasher posted:I used to see counter artillery fire used to be a LOT more common back like 6-7 years ago before I took a long break. It basically never happens to me now. I rarely play arty but I haven't been counter fired by arty once since I started playing again, I don't even bother relocating after firing any more. I don't play arty any more (except maybe for missions) since eliting all the SPG lines, but you're right, nowadays CB feels very uncommon. It's probably more likely on smaller maps like Mines where arty really has few safe positions, but I do relocate a little between shots out of habit and am genuinely surprised when I hear someone CBing around me. BitBasher posted:Yeah, the only Arty line I am going up now is the Batchat arty line. I think I'm on Tier 6 now. The gun itself is okay, but I really like their mobility. I like being arty but also being able to gently caress off and relocate in a hurry. Well, you'd better get used to that gun, because they're stuck with pretty much identical 155 mm cannons all the way through the tier 10!

Atomizer posted:The other day, I was bitching in our platoon about how every loving game had arty, usually 2 or 3 per side. There was I believe 1 out of 20 battles without arty. Honestly I'd be perfectly OK with one arty in pretty much every game ever, especially if it meant no more 3 arty games. One arty is fine, they have long enough reloads (for the most part) not to be oppressive, and they do server a useful purpose. The real problems start when multiple arties are able to focus on the same people and effectively keep them permanently stunned and tracked. I have no idea how WG do not realize this. They must do, but they just don't care.

I rarely play arty but I haven't been counter fired by arty once since I started playing again, I don't even bother relocating after firing any more. Counter-battery disappeared almost immediately after the tracer nerf because it became nearly impossible while arty was still relocating and firing from non-obvious positions to avoid getting blasted. The playerbase never bothered to relearn it after arty got complacent, probably because even then its still a waste of time vs ruining some poor heavys day.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ihkf1qhrd_o A decent video explaining the CVS effects. TLDR: CVS is probably the first slot choice for light tanks. Light equipment should probably be CVS, Optics, Muffler at high tiers and then pray you don't get Himmelsdorf.

Trip report on the LIS: It's a real solid hard hitting medium. The gun handling is incredibly good. And its mobile enough to almost play like the T-44-100. So if you already have that tank and want to go down the polish mediums it's worth it. I figured having it 70% off would be worth it enough to also get the crewbook missions.

Another great thing about the LIS is that the APCR shell has nearly 1600 m/s shell velocity. It's like shooting a loving laser beam.

I only play T10 arty but counter battery is still pretty common there. What was the tracer nerf? I took a 5 year break from the game and came back just under a year ago but it still seems as easy as it used to be.
