Over the past few weeks we've noticed that there has been a rise in topics about artillery/spg's. These topics always have the same content, a screen shot of a battle with an angry message about how MM needs fixed. Now unless the "search" function isn't working and no one has told us about this, it would take a few short moments for players to see there is already an existing topic about what they're about to post, and there is no need for a new topic.. Today alone I've seen 3 threads created.
The reason for this pinned thread is for players to provide feedback about SPG's and also to cover a few points so that people are aware of what's going on. This thread will be updated with any new information relation to SPG's and MM.

- YES, since the new MM changes we're aware of matches where you may encounter high amounts of SPG's (6 plus per side). These matches are still however rare and not the norm.
- The problem is only really active at tier 9 and 10. It's very rare that in lower tier games you will have more than 4 arty per side.
- A fix is being added to 8.0 to make credit generation for tier 8 arty in line with tier 10 tanks. these means tier 8 arty won't be as profitable as they are now which may discourage some players from playing them so frequently.
- If the 8.0 fix doesn't make a noticeable difference in the rare occasions where there is 8 or more arty per side in a team, we will look into further ways to balance things out.
- there is no current plans to place limits on the amount of arty or any other class of tank that may be placed into a battle/team.
- A fix for arty balance may be on the horizon soon. Will update you all with more information once it's confirmed and available.
