OK, so previously if you were spotted by someone and your gun was pointed the wrong way, you wouldn't know until arty started aiming at you? Is this right?
And now, if you're spotted from behind, you know you're lit but have no idea by what or who is aiming at you?
HOW is that bad? I understand that it makes the game harder to exploit, that you have to rely more on what you see and what you know. How is THAT bad?
EDIT: So update, I received a PM from PortableNuke thoroughly explaining to me what I got wrong about this. In two days of discussion with many players on this subject, and the entire time I was ABSOLUTELY WRONG. I failed to grasp the idea that if a scout spots you without also pointing the gun at you, SS is triggered but not !targeted.
I was basing the entirety of my argument on my fundamental misunderstanding on the mechanic that is supposed to be easier than the old mechanic which I also didn't fully understand until PortableNuke politely and thoroughly explained it.
So to Nuke, thanks for the free education on the mechanics of the game and the lesson in humility I obviously badly needed.
To everyone else, sorry I wasted your time. I'll be running my stock Tiger P on east when the servers come back if anyone is looking to punish my R2D2.
