Had a good game yesterday continuing my FV3805 grind to get the Conqueror Gun Carriage. I was our only arty and my team had someone spotted that I could hit pretty much the entire match. The red tanks also kept making obvious moves that I could anticipate and almost none of my long shots ever drifted and hit where I planned. This match I was almost entirely looking top down as I did not have to move once I got set.
If you hate arty, you should learn how to use it. From Sun Tzu's Art of War: Know Your Enemy.
For those who never played arty but wonder why they always get hit, hope this replay will help you understand how arty guesses your moves and locations.
Also, if you are arty and get spotted, you need to move. You are no help to your team dead. I was busy trying to get the enemy ISU-152 when the red arty got spotted. After I was done there I went to look for the red arty which was no longer spotted and took a shot at the obvious position he might still be and there he was. Boom.
