I'm not bothered by arty players. The class is nerfed enough. BUT:
I can't remember how many times I've been stunned by my own arty, but I can surely count how many times an arty actually knew how to play the class and helped us win. How many times they knew how to counter. About 2 times this year so far.
How many times have you pinged the minimap, like "A0, arty here!", and nothing happened. They just don't know wtf is countering. It doesn't even help, that since the arty shell changes, they have visual traces where a shell starts, flies through, and lands. You can see it clearly!
Why is it, that literal arty mains have no idea how to blind shoot an arty, that at least at 5 minutes into the battle already 8 people pinged on the minimap. Tier X arty players have no idea! They simply don't care! No matter how hard you beg in chat, to shoot there, shoot them, they have no idea how to counter. There is only one bush in the A0 area on the given map where I'm crying for help in chat for you, why is it so hard to click it, and get rid of the enemy SPG? Why do I have to get stunned for 5 minutes straight? JUST COUNTER IT!
Full respect for those arty players who do, I've met 2 so far in 2022, because that's a big big big help if you get rid of the enemy SPG. The rest are just having a dinner or lunch, with one hand, while clicking with the other.
Sorry for the rant! I just think, that if you at least play the most annoying class, you should be able to play AGAINST it and counter it, while the entire team is giving you info where the enemy sits.
You who's reading, what's your opinion? And again, no offense! I just don't get it why it is so hard to shoot where the entire team is pinging.
