Love them or hate them, the time has come for a comprehensive review of SPGs, Commanders.  

The full text of the news item

small nerf but I guess it's something...

[Miepie]

...Time to quickly do the SPG campaign missions then…

[_b_]

How about just limit to 1 each side? Then you can even reintroduce old AP if you want ...whatever ... just as a start limit numbers further?

[SlashCrasher]

Any nerf to arty is welcome, I'll take it

[mislav_cabeza]

will you rebalance the spg missions then or it remains as they are?

[WoT_RU_Doing]

My initial reaction on reading these changes is that:

- for those that whine about arty, it's not enough. For those that play arty, it's an unwanted nerf.

- However, the biggest concern is that there is NO word in the announcement that the SPG campaign missions will be modified. If stun time is reduced, stun requirements need to be reduced too, both for stun duration and stun damage.

- Also, while specific vehicles are individually addressed, I found it odd that the M44 isn't in the rebalance list.

 

As a final note, an interesting point here is that it should reduce arty focus on an individual tank. You get a much better stun time by deliberately targeting a not-stunned tank with this change, rather than simply hitting an already stunned vehicle again.

1 arty per side is all that needs happen. it not rocket science.

[DaMP13R]

It's like this totally has went over the head of those at WG, the biggest complaint was the amount of arty in battle not the additional stun?  ... I mean seriously who is concerned about how much your additional stun is when you have 3 arty raining down upon you. 

 

Also when are we going to be given the option to have the free XP back which was spent on the arty lines? they were nerfed into the ground rightly so and now nerfed again.. what's the point in keeping them unlocked/ in garage .. compensate us.

Lets be real, any nerf to arty is a good nerf.

[_Sentinel_]

1 SPG per team!

Well, if it was then you'd have the oddness of it being the ONLY tier 6 in the list... The rest are all 7, 8, 9 & 10.

Me too. 5s stun and atrocious shell velocity is laughable.

Arty should have 0 penetration, stun should last longer but be less effective and cause less damage and you should not be able to remove it with medkit. This way arty could be areal support weapon, instead of focusing on unarmored targets and ignoring heavies.

[theApparatus]

Reduce the splash of arty and the massive effect that misses have on light tanks, and I might return to the game.

[Objec7]

Finally I can say that WG is doing steps to right direction. List misses M44 and tier 9 british arty, otherwise it is complete. I think that the nerf is good, not too much and needed. But I really think you should also limit arty to 1 per team or in absolute maximum to 2 per team. 3 arty per team is broken as team hp pools are low and they can make a bomb rain.

[kjkb1980_o7]

This is great news, thank you Wargaming.

 

However, please I beg you can you reduce the maximum number of SPG's per game. Reducing the maximum to 2 per team per game would be a fair compromise to both group of players. The current maximum of 3 is hugely detrimental to the enjoyment of the game.

Yeah, increasing bloom and decreasing accuracy and then decreasing aim time could be good solution to that.
