Artillery attack range.

4 Jun 2021, 01:07

I find it strange that artillery has the same range through each level. I think it would more realistic and all around better if higher levels of artillery had more attack range. This would promote the researching of artillery more, as players would now be able to attack from a distance without taking return fire, like they currently do.

I don’t agree with this idea. It will put too much emphasis on researching artillery. This would compared to high level infantry getting thrice the speed.

Elite artillery still only has attack of 50, just like every other level. But how would this be compared to high level infantry getting three times the speed? A 1944 infantry can only walk as fast as a 1939 era infantry. But a 1944 era artillery should be able to outrange a 1939 era artillery, just like in real life.

Artillery isnt as dominant irl then than it is in this Game, That's the problem

I totally agree with you, it's not very real like that

Making the range bigger of artillery is difficult as you are limited in weight and size of the cannon in order to also have maneuverability. I see the research more into the shells that are being researched in the lab and can cause more mortality that way.

My plan of spamming tanks wouldn't work, some people would make a crap ton of arty and then make my giant stacks useless.

spamming tanks in my opinion is not a very winning strategy

Depends on who you play with and what country you are. In the last game I played(Historic World War) I had a 102 stack made up of tanks, infantry, anti tank, and other things. Also I used my diplomatic powers and managed to survive the whole game as the smallest remaining country in 3rd place. I'd have to thank Unknown, Ciro and Nova for letting keep the 3rd place spot. The spamming is mainly for rush and overpower, or defend and overpower.

I agree with you that the country and also the doctrine affect the strategy to be adopted, the tanks are very strong units but also easy to counter with the help of the right troops, then how everything depends on how they are used

completely true, but we can always use SP artellery as it's range increases with upgrade. Its faster too!!

artillery right now is far too dominant, extra range would make them the only meta estrategy

true, artellery has its max power, use railroadguns for now if u want range, its good in range

It would make artillery to OP(now ppl are already suggesting to nerf arty)

The different doctrines already have different level 2 research unlock days for artilley. And on a world at war map, t would render most artillery useless to pan asian artillery of both countries were to have a artillery shoot out since pan asian would out range the other doctrines on day 2 already.

Artillery is already one of the strongest units in the game and if buffed any further, you're you're gonna see "Artillery only" games for every game you play

Or you could learn to use artillery yourself?

I spam arty, then send a bunch of 10 stacks on a trip through my enemy, but I don't use arty, aa, or anti tank much. I've rarely seen people make a crap ton and use them against me, usually its 2 or 3 but at level 3 or 4. By then I either have planes on the way or tanks close by to attack.

I use arty, I think you got my msg wrong. IMO, arty is good the way it is now. A buff would make it too Op.
