How about if you play artillery, that there are certain maps you don't put artillery on? Like Himmelsdorf, Paris, Ruinberg, Dragon Ridge, Pearl River, and Port. 

[matematicalone]

Than it would be so OP, hence clear no.

[Highlordwurm]

I would surely like the same consideration for lights, a good chunk of the maps are misery and death to scouts...got a funny feeling heavies and TDs feel the same....The idea would be awesome if only I could do it, if everyone could you would only see, like, one or two tanks populating both sides on any given map.  Prok would be nothing but scouts, Himmelsdorf would be all TDs and heavies, etc....  Being a scout on a scout friendly map is only fun if there are a wide variety of tank types to take advantage of your scouting, and a bunch of reds to take advantage of.

Good point, yeah that might be a good idea for lights too.

I don't think so. Artillery is a tough to play, it's not as OP as everyone says it is. And artillery in a city map is practically useless.

As it should be.

Where I go from arty to TD mode.

No!  Arty gets advantage in open map and disadvantage in city map, this is called balance.   In city maps arty can still do damage enough for it's repair cost, it just needs to move a lot and if needed go forward with shotgun.

I agree with this, it makes no sense to handicap a team by putting an artillery piece or up to three on a city map or otherwise restricted map. All they do is give you a useless match and an easy target for the enemy. Light tanks and snipers are just barely viable on some of these maps if they take the right position, artillery is entirely hampered and can be cut down way too easily. In a realistic sense as well no commander worth anything would send arty into a city when it has effective range up to several miles, even though this game isn't exactly realistic it doesn't make sense in any way.

1 time out of 10 does this happen, the other 9 times on Ensk arty is one of the first to die because most of them at high tier can't move fast enough. By balance you mean handicapping teams and players, which if people care about stats in the slightest having to play arty in a city map is just killing stats. True balance of arty would be following PC and cutting their damage but giving slightly better rate of fire to compensate. One shot from across the map, shame on arty. Three shot from across map, shame on the person for not moving. Doing that and having arty not see the claustrophobic city maps would be the best solution. 

 

Gif is also Conqueror Gun Carriage doing CGC things. 

With a range of 1000 meters it's basically built for shorter ranges anyway.

Ensk and it's variants are 600m x 600m, maps small as that should be removed from the game or put to tier 1-2 maps next to Province.  No tank should be spotted from the spam before it get time to reload it's gun.

Also true, tier 7 cap maybe. That would also alleviate the entire arty problem as most tier 8-10 arty are the ones that should never be on a map that restricted.

Its not always Op, but broken.

Arty isn't tough to play, it's just random. The only tough thing is being on a bad map for it, or when your team lets a single fast tank through the line and you know exactly who priority number 1 is.

its practically impossible to shotgun tanks since the last couple updates the gun degree isn't at zero anymore and is always slightly elevated and makes it hard to defend  themselves  against enemy lights or anyone at that  this includes the B.C 155 58, T92 and more often then never  the  GW E100  i haven't played the CGC or Obj 261  but they have the zero degrees  of  elevation to be able to shotgun enemy tanks that are near by. so out of all the arties only about 2 out of  5 can effectively defend themselves against incoming enemy tanks. if RNGesus is  feeling good that day and allows them to one shot from point blank range, which with me is maybe 2 out of 10 times

How about limiting arty to all arty vs arty games on 50m X 50m  open maps?  Each arty in arty only games get far more HP.  So then,  roughly every 30 seconds a arty user depresses the button used to fire a shell and random big numbers pop up to show how much damage they've done.

 

I think my above suggestion would be a significant net improvement for WoT Console.

 

 

Arty is a broken game mechanic, not "OP" but just stupidly broken.

How about they restrict artillery to only, Arty Vs Arty, and they only get to play on two maps, Prokorovkha and Malinovka.

This should make them happy, lots of easy to hit targets that dont move to fast, and little to none cover, not to mention it should be extremely fair and balanced, everyone would off course also know how to play "artysafe"
