Assault mode, attacker side, lots of arty,...

Motions's Photo Motions 07 Jul 2012

More and more often I get in the following situation with my Jagdtiger.

3-4 tier 8 arty.
attacker side on assault mode
Map like prohorovka or malinovka with 0 arty cover


Each time I try to play this map I get frustrated and have to make an arty whine topic after every game. When I am spotted ( which is basically each time I shoot some enemy tank cuz of 0 camo) I get arty shells on my ass. After each shot I tried to move in random ways or in such a way that would make arty miss, but it doesn't help! Boooooom, 1 arty shell: 1k damage, double detrack, gun destroyed and a loader dead. This is best case scenario. Often I die after 1 shot or lose even more modules and crew.

How the hell do you play that sort of game?

Assault rewards the side that is willing to be the more agressive without suiciding.

If you have overwhelming arty on the enemy team ask one of your scouts or mediums to take the heat for you. Arty will always shoot at a scout or medium that is looking like its going to rush them specially on prohorovka if u send a medium over the tracks towards the arty without over committing they can use the terrain to make it hard for arty to hit them while giving you the chance to snipe the guys chasing the lights/meds.

If your team isn't willing to help you your screwed sorry to say this but JagdTiger is not a tank that can dictate the game it is always on the back foot specially when arty in involved.
