I've been full penned one too many times by the cancerous plague that has ravaged this game for 10 years. I don't think we can get rid of artillery entirely, but I have to do something.
My goal is to limit the negative impact of artillery as much as i can, without getting banned. So far I have a few ideas.
- play an artillery, and do not shoot any enemies except for SPGs. this removes 1/6+ of the cancer from a given game, and increase queue times for arty players. I will not fire even in close quarters, although ram damage is acceptable
- Counter battery enemy artillery. I can at least stun them, if not remove them from the game entirely
- Stun allied artillery. I can't kill them, but I can slow them down and make them less accurate. I am not sure if this could be bannable however
- Push allied artillery when firing. This is bannable for physics abuse, I will refrain from this for now.
- Never drown myself, or crash myself. This is a scumbag move, and I'm not going to spite the enemy for no benefit to myself
I am not sure what tier is best for this, and I am considering doing it in frontlines as well. I have every tank unlocked so I can counter arty at any tier. I will probably take a hit to my stats and credits, but I can counter that pretty easily with premiums and 3 marking tier 10s.
So reddit, am I insane? Have any ideas for how I can do this more efficiently?
