Sweet Arty Tears from EU-Forum (A preview of what we can look forward to today (8.6 release) ?!
So....just before going to bed tonight, and looking forwards to 8.6 tomorrow morning ! - I decided to do one final glance at the EU Server's forum to see what I might look forward to - vis a vis - arty come tomorrow, this week, and going forwards. As you all know, some of us are half worried / half hopeful about whether this patch will cure the Arty Problem on the NA server (or not). Well, looking at this interesting thread of EU Arty players giving their feedback on the patch, thus far, I can say I felt....inspired
---------
Here are just a few great examples from our friends at EU (Title of the thread there was "8.6 Arty =Unplayable, Refund option !"):
Arty after the 8.6 is unplayable. The aiming circle is now BIGGER than the screen!! And now even if u lock the cannon try to change position the circle gets even bigger!!
So welcome to the new WG game: World of Campers!
No reason for heavies and TDs to even move from their place.
Please give us an option to get refund for SPGs and keep nerfing them to BALANCE the game!
Don't buff them don't do anything just refund us!

My hummel is now useless and i have just researched GW panther which i dont think i will even try to buy it if this situation is not changed.
-------
(snip) aiming circle? In my su-8 its bigger than my screen too! wtf is that? new aiming system or whatever its called? in 8.5 and before you aimed, you aimed good and you got the ****, now? its like hitting a targed mid range with BL-10, its like russian rulette, you fire X ammount of times before you hit the target...
shame on you WG
-------
in 10 battles i havnt seen an arty do more than 1k damage :/ wg have gone way to far. all they had to do was lower the limit on arty per match to 3 and sane spg player would have accepted that.... hell even the slower shell speed makes sense.
Instead they have listened to the (EDITED) morons on the forums and have broken arty, my last match in an obj212 with small gun i did 376 damage...earned 8k credits and lost 14k all for 184 xp... Landed a shell next to a camping t71 (usa light tank...camping), a tank with no armor... and did 4....yup 4 damage :/ awesome. He didn't leave his bush... I fired 2 more shells and missed both.
I now find myself in the strange position of getting (EDITED) at by scouts and the team generally for not helping?? sorry folks.... but you did the (EDITED)...and now we are playing with one hand tied behind our backs :/
CDA (I think a WG employee there on EU) just said in general (discussion), "arty nerfs were based heavily on community feedback, and there (has) not been much love for arty"
That's because theres a large % of players in this game who sit in a bush and expect the other team to ignore them...and when they do get pwned after sitting there for 5 mins its always "fu arty"
Ive invested a lot of time into the ussr arty tree and managed to get the obj212 just before patch... but tbh as it stands now, im not going to give it any more attention.
And to the vast majority of anti arty QQers, when you find yourself all alone with an e100 bearing down on you and that arty shell that could of saved your *** doesn't come... well to quote and old saying you reap what you sow ;)
--------
fully agree, this nerf just sucks. my beloved bchat155 is unplayable now, drum load raised by 9secs(=75secs with bia), shot reload time increased, accuracy just sucks and for the reason the frenchies got close to zero splash, one simply cant get a good hit anymore except for real stupid opponents, aimtime that was THE advantage on it got nerfed to ground and so on. same as the engine/track research that had to be done, zero compensation, not even a part of my free xp spent.
--------
Tried US (M12) French (AMX 13 F3) and German (GW tiger) today and all of them are basically useless now, arty nerf has made arty pointless now, you are lucky to get ANY hit at all in a match.
Horrendous aim time, colossal aim sircle, insane reload time and even fully zoomed on a heavy tank 200-300m away your aim sircle is still 5-6x times bigger than the tank!
Feel cheated on by wargaming!
--------
There are so many more, of course, but we have to end it at some point.... needless to say, I don't often drink Arty Player Tears...but when I do...I prefer those that will likely come out on our server tomorrow !
STAY THIRSTY MY FRIENDS !
