    Arty is definitely overpowered with the lower tier tanks. Combine that with a game-matching system that often gives both sides 5 artillery and it seems really unfair. But your tanks will get better and if you play a while, there seems to be less artillery in the higher-tier fights. Use cover where available and if you're a light tank, make sure to spot for your overpowered arty :P

    To add to ATPG's advice, try to stay in cover -behind buildings and other obstacles, this will shield you from Arty shots. Unfortunately, zig-zagging in the tier 1 tanks probably doesnt improve survivability much as they are so slow. Tanks get faster and harder with each tier, the MS-1 and Leichtractor are particularily fragile and ponderous. Get yourself a BT-25 and you will cause people no end of headaches trying to land a shot on your speedy tank.

    I had a go at playing arty and it is very frustrating. Reloading is so slow, the vehicle so weak and the need for an escort/defense so acute that it can be painful.

    I rolled nazi for my first teiring run through. Just 5k points shy of my p3 light. I would already have it but I accidentally bought the luchs instead.

    It's hard for light tanks to take cover; if they're really laying low they aren't doing their job :P But as a TD, I live and die by cover. :3

    And arty's counter is pretty easy, once you their position is given away. I have a BT-7 I mess around in sometimes, and on one map I found an unguarded SU-8 (high level soviet arty) and just circled it for a good five minutes. It took about 30 shells to bring it down (low tier gun vs. high tier armor) but it couldn't turn fast enough to face me. I think if I was that arty guy I'd throw my monitor across the room.

    I got the code and I am going to give this a shot for the "lolz". Know nothing about the game, but from what I seen in thread, I hope there is a T-34 with my name on it.

    I hope so too, although i should warn you it'll take a little while to get it.
