Big changes in 8.6 update

[Dirk]

What I've heard so far is ~25% worse aim time, dispersion, and reload times combined with reworked damage mechanics that nerf artillery further. Tiers 7 and up won't feel this too much since they actually have enough alpha and wide enough splash to do damage regardless but everyone below that, especially below tier 5 where you're very nearly completely splashless, is getting fucked.

 

They're basically taking "Aim All Day, Miss Anyway" to a new extreme to satisfy the handful of unicums that whine about arty nonstop.

 

I should be fine with the s-51 then. its got 1800 damage so it should still work. I still dont get who is complaining about arty though. Arty almost never does all that well in battle and gets taken out easily.
