This game has the worst community hands down

cant argue that its quite a bit more accurate then it should be....the American M114 155mm can snipe out my tanks from max range, placing it right in my commanders hatch. in BoW mod had an opponenet following my Panzer IV with it. US and Soviet Artillery are snipers while German Artillery isnt haha.

The M114 is the worst artillery piece I have ever used in game. By the time I finally scored a hit on a tank (which didn't do much but disable it) I had fired all of its ammo.

it musta gotten alot worse since I used it last then, I sniped out and killed all my dad's tanks w/ it...1 shot, right on the roof, Hull Destroyed..he had like 2 or 3 and they were only like Panzy IIIs and Stug III's but still.....no I dont use aim bots either

I doubt M114 is worse then any of the other artilleries. Except for that D1 that seams to be the most accurate.
You where only unlucky, have had games where the artillery haven't hit anything and other where it destroys several tanks.


Don't count on your arty to be tank killers, its mostly for soft targets. Infantry, light armor, cars, AT guns, artillery etc..

[KnightFandragon]

I dont use my Arty as anti Tank, in the hopes that it will kill the tanks, its good that arty isnt AT...it would be more retarded if it did kill tanks w/ regularity ..i use it for Anti Artillery and to knock off tracks, break guns and wasting guys behind sandbags.

I use artillery in Battlezones and Victory Flag. For knocking off tracks and anti infantry and light vehicle I use rockets or AT rifles. You should try the British artillery, its not accurate but it seems to have a fast fire rate.

[KnightFandragon]

British Arty? you mean the 25LBer? ive never tried it but im sure the reason it has a faster fire rate is b/c it is only a 88mm gun and so it uses the load time of the 88, seeing how this game's load times seem to be based entirely off the caliber of the gun, where large calibers like the 122 and 155 load like 12-15 seconds and the small calibers like 37-45mm have like 3-4 second load times and the middle calibers 50-76 are like 8 seconds and such, rather then any skills of crews or anything else

i agree with the o.p about the community, both these forums and in the actual game

case in point i created a thread with a few questions, and barely anyone even bothered to read it or answer.

ive been using this game for a few days now
and besides a few players who are friendly to me

the majority are just guys spaming in some weird language
theres no hello no sense of a community, yeh u see the odd people who know each other and exchange greetings, but as a whole its totally different to games i play like warband and mount and blade where theres hundreds of clans, groups etc.

also, i think there should be a ticker or something with a risk level by a persons name, and if a person quits regularly, like more than twice in a one day period during game, the person has a high risk level symbol by his name, so the admin can kick him and not risk the idiot quitting mid game..

quitters are annoying!

also, the waiting for ages for somebody to hit ready or connect is such a pain!

its totaly different to war games where u just log onto a server and bingo connect..

it seems though that the people with decent connections have to pay the price for the people using a toaster to connect

Well strange enough the last game I played with the Japanese I destroyed 3 "tanks" with the self propeled artillery. Which surprised me somewhat. But I have to say the tanks had extremly light armor (only the Achiles and Archer). So even a close hit might destroy it already.

In a gem test all heavy artillery reloads at about the same rate. The D1 is smaller then the other guns so it loads half a second less then the other guns.
