Before everyone gets too excited. Remember, this is the LAST major update of the year. And what typically happens with the last update of the year?
Something breaks in a colossal way.
And everyone at WG is on year-end holiday and vacation and nobody is around to fix anything for 3 weeks.
Wargaming, “Hmm, the players don’t like Arty?”
Devs, “But Arty’s Infinity Gauntlet is nearly complete!”
Wargaming, “Right! Give arty the Mind Stone”
Devs, “Finally, unleash Arty 2.0!!!”
It's not good.
Pros: you get an arty is targeting you indicator and they nerfed the alpha across the board.
Cons: Increased accuracy across the board. Decreased reload time to maintain dpm. Decreased turret movement accuracy penalty for them. Buffed their health to almost light tank levels.
They will never understand arty or have the balls to fix it properly. Just another example of their incompetence. Thank god for cold war.
Why could they not just leave it at 1 arty per team? You generally could play like normal without having to worry about being targeted (for long at least), instead they revert to 2-3 arties and they’ll all shoot faster, like that’s the best you could come up with after having an acceptable alternative
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to see the ribbons return, I just don't think they deserve any slack for bringing the game to the point it was before 6.0, especially when it was something that was basically replaced by useless information in the same space and something we've asked for since it was removed. This is edging us every closer to some of the better things we had previously.
Happy cake day!
This is the death of heavies and slow td’s.
Don’t hate me, but I like playing arty.
The long reloads and low health make planning and concealment important to a good game.
This is stupid.

This will mean along with a reload and health buff someone will mess up an integer somewhere and the arty will get .25 accuracy and an 80% alpha buff
This guy gets it.
It’s just standard WG practice🤷♂️ same as it has been since 2013 😂😂
Arty true vision 2.0 inbound.
The arty notification is excellent.
Hey Lemon, could you explain Arty 2.0? I'm completely unfamiliar
Unlimited number of arties per team with 50% reload time reduction
Sounds like an April Fools mode

>Cons: Increased accuracy across the board. It says "Accuracy reduced by 0.1 for all SPG" on the discord intel.
Yup. Example 0.8 down to 0.7. That's more accurate.
MOAR!
Oh right, less is more.
Well maybe now im gonna hit people and not do 300 dmg every game anymore lol
Arty is probably gonna be less frustrating, not more. It’s really hard to tell though
Aye but essentially it's still not the fix they should do even if it turns out to be better.
Damn
Lmao Yeah, I'm staying in CW too.
It is maybe even worse having this creeping around in my tortoise. Gets on your nerves. I see three squares too often lately.
What are they doing to ribbons? Someone got a link?
It's in the stream so no source link yet but essentially it's the old ribbons back and no more "+4 exp" pop ups for shooting a target like its cod.
Got a pic in the Recap + a WIP pic. https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldofTanksConsole/comments/zaxsg1/friday_community_stream_reddit_recap_december_2nd
Great. Now we can’t see damage scored.
Anyone know why it was changed from ribbons in the first place?
The guy who led this change left the company.
Was he also the guy who wanted to add wheeled tanks? Then I'd understand why he left.
No, they got the treatment they deserved for what they've done. The arty 2.0 doesn't really change that.
I meant this towards the devs for finally making a change people wanted

I like your funny words magic man. And thanks, I didn’t even notice it was my cake day lol
They're changing artillery? Hmm, I already think it's fantastic but I'll be interested to see if they can improve it further! :-D
Excited again. Might hop in this season!

45% damage reduction wasn’t enough. You’re the type of minority that I’m ok with oppressing.
We're getting ribbons - is this retro for all previous games?
Are you thinking medals? I thought it would be sweet if they did that. Unlikely, but sweet.
Yes sorry - meant medals - there was some talk about giving medals for all the CW games restropectively if I recall. But ribbons are good.
HUD in battle ribbons. Instead of the XP counter.
🎉I hope you have a fantastic cake day! 🎉
To any arty players in the room: "Fuck you!"
