The artillery gun is the same as the M7 priest, or at worst the wespe 105mm with 50% faster reload(which is already a excellent gun).

overall the french artillery is a larger, slower, much more heavily armored M7 priest really.

...ergo, a pile of crap. The M7 Priest was one of the worst arty experiences I've ever had in this game, only next to the su-5. Why bother spending gold on a bigger, slower French version of the same thing?

Also, the TD is a neutered Marder II in every way. The Marder gets a tier 5 gun, decent mobility and a high camo rating and view range. This thing has none of those things. Completely defeats the purpose.


You seem to have a recurring theme of being totally wrong about the new tanks in the test server.

The Priest and B1 artillery have high rate of fire, accuracy, and range. Grille may have higher damage per shot, buts its up to the player to which they are better with. damage vs speed.

the FCM36 isnt a "neutered Marder II in every way". Its slower, less mobile and has more narrow gun gun, but its also much more armor, with more accuracy and rate of fire(compared to the pak 40 75mm). Compared the the stolen 76mm, its downside is -20 penetration for more accuracy.

That is a downside worth noting.

Oh and keep the personal attacks to yourself.

The SPG is a two shot kill on just about any tier 7 and below.But above that it takes a lot to knock out 8 or higher.

Well, they are still premium tanks. I hope you know what would happen if the new premium tier IV arty is designed to be better than Grille and the new premium TD is designed to be better than Marder 2?

Also, tier IV arty is the highest tier arty that can get into medium company battles. If a premium tier IV arty were made to be better than non-premium tier IV artys, it will unbalance the competitive scene. Competitive company battle arty players will be required to buy and play a premium tank instead. We certainly don't need more pay-to-win options at this point.

Getting matched up into tier 8/9 matches is a bit hefty for this little artillery, as direct hits vs t8s were doing ~4% damage.

This is the test server so you have to remember everyone is playing their shiny new tier 8,9,10 tanks so the mm is going to be stuck throwing low tier arty into a tier 9/10 battle.

How much does the SPG cost? I'm curious as id like to get one.

[kraftinator]

The TD really needs a bit more horsepower - on Sand River we had enemy tanks in base (south) before I had made it to the top of the hill right by the flag.

I think the TD is so immobile that it's simply no fun to play.  The gun didn't impress me, it's big, it's low tier, it has no armor, and it can't move.  What's the point?

The arty is not bad.  I'd like it better if the pen was a few mm higher.  It's absolutely devastating in low tier battles - it's an SU-5 with almost unlimited ammo.  In higher tier battles, because the pen is so low, it is often frustrating, because it just doesn't do any damage to heavies.

i urge all NOT to buy these pieces of crap, i have the larger one (fock knows what its called) and the gun cant hurt anything, that's right nothing !
ok it has a good rate of fire but it pens nothing and when it /does they are just 0% hits, buy these and you have no hope, ive played lots of game with it so far and not killed a thing, probably done about 5% damage in about 8 games ??? wtf wargaming???

[NicolaTankGirl]

DO NOT WASTE GOOD MONEY ON THIS FRENCH SH!T GUNS ARE PATHETIC, CANT DO ANY DAMAGE, TIER 1 GUNS POSSIBLY FACING KV-5'S TIGER 2'S ETC.  UTTER RIP OFF, RUBBISH.
