       I personally don't like arty for two reasons. They seem to one
       hit kill me all the time! And well I'm not that good at arty! As
       far as people running them in a platoon with me I truly don't
       care! Run what ever the hell you want to run! But trust me I'm
       going to talk shit specially if it an't German! I'll talk shit
       on any tank that an't German weather it's arty or not! So if it
       was I that has made people fell like they where unwanted and
       want to leave well I'm sorry and I wasn't trying to make someone
       fell unwanted! It's just they way I am. I don't like many tanks
       that aren't German so yeah I'm going to talk crap! Now if I'm
       lighting someone up for arty and arty doesn't shoot at them well
       yeah that's going to piss me off too! But I know that arty is a
       lot hard then it looks so I'm not going to take it personal! But
       trust me I know I'm hard to platoon with I'm trying to hold shit
       back! Well sometimes it just doesn't  work!! And if it was me I
       am truly sorry!!

       The cartoonish splash radius of premium HE from the T92,
       perma-tracking in Bert, and one-shotting a tier 9 in the S51
       always makes me laugh. My only issue with green artillery is not
       watching the correct area. There's a chokepoint with a good
       brawl going on and only the red artillery is bombing it.

       I've been known to bitch (a little) about arty but in reality I
       can't image the game without it.  Its presence can completely
       change my tactics, and now that I'm enjoying lights more it
       gives me a "high priority/easy kill" target!  Plus the
       satisfaction of taking one down is pretty awesome.
       TKE, I too hate when a lone red runs to the nearest deep water
       or cliff.  I used to message them "Coward!!" but the last person
       I did that to replied, "No satisfaction for you!".  I laughed so
       hard I sent him a TY and now every time it happens I just think
       of that  :beer:

       If I can I will try to shoot the arty before he drowns and I've
       also been known to dive in to shoot and ram them.

       I have almost 3 yrs into the game and yes over 30,000
       battles.Being new to the clan I have met a great group of
       players that has added more fun and variety to the game and
       thanks to all for that.Unfortunately for most I do use arty time
       to time,but I prefer tank destroyers overall and only have 3
       arty in my garage.One is Russian tier 5 which I recently played
       a lot for the Russian op,most of my squad mates ran premium tier
       7 and 8's so I had to do the best with what I have as I own no
       Russian premiums.I did the best I could to help my squad and
       clan in battles even against tier 9.I did take a lot of heat and
       a lot of it was in good fun which was great,but some would
       actually blame me for being hauled up to tier 9 or ten matches
       because of my tier 5 arty and got to the point of people rage
       quitting.I apologize to any I may have maddened as I was trying
       to do the best with what I had.That being said arty is a part of
       tank warfare and there are a lot of tanks that can one shot you
       and you never saw them like a KV2,Isu-152,Deathstar and so
       on.Its part of the diversity in the game,take the good with the
       bad.If anyone I have played with feels I am dragging down the
       clan,ruining their games then its best to boot me as to cause
       less discourse in the group after all I am only new here.Good
       hunting to all!!

       Pffft. If someone feels like you're dragging down the clan by
       playing arty, they can pound sand. No need for you to go
       anywhere.

       I'm been as of late the lunatic ranting and raving about arty
       and I know that LC started this thread because of me.  Maybe
       because it seems that I'm always the primary target of them and
       I do enjoy very much a good game without arty on the opposite
       side. The issue for me is that if a platoon mate brings in arty
       in the party then for sure we are going to face arty on the
       other side and I have my thoughts on this as well as the
       occasional effectiveness of the platoon .
       I realize its part of the game and I'm probably one of the
       biggest offenders as the single tank that I have the most games
       in is actually an arty, i just choose to play it alone.
       Having said that last night I realized that I have probably
       crossed over the line so I do apologize to LC, Auger and Shaky
       for having to listen to me on my soap box last night. This is a
       game and the point of this clan is to actually have fun, have
       good games enjoying the camaraderie and everyone is welcome to
       drive whatever they want in my opinion too. So from my end I
       promise to shut up. I certainly dont want to be the cause of
       people leaving and if that is the case I would rather leave
       myself first before they do, so If one of our admins feels that
       this is the case please do let me know.

       #1 No one is leaving.
       #2 See #1.
       Actually there are a few events coming up that you will need
       arty. So get better on aiming those beasties!  :cheers:

       Since we don't have Typhoons/Thunderbolts shredding us from the
       sky...
       or kids with Panzerfausts popping out of second story windows...
       I think a sprinkling of arty is not much to suffer.
       Personally I run arty 5% of the time (everyone should do their
       community service :wink:)
       I have selected arty sometimes and had someone Groan... too bad!
       I don't take it personal.  Run yo' thang, man. :drunkdance:
       PS  - I would Love to run with a weekly platoon centered around
       three arties with a couple tanks acting as scouts/protectors
