It might as well be! Can no longer call in strikes while teammates are using one so if you need to use one right away you’re screwed.

So the arty being called everywhere all at once constantly was a fun gameplay mechanic? Being unable to attack at all? No thanks. Arty nerf was well deserved.

Artillery Radio Operators play a supportive role not an active combat role, so you’re screwing yourself in the knee here.
If you want artillery you mark it on the map and request it from a “Artillery Operator Support Squad”
You don’t get special MOAB privileges to call in arty directly lol, i hope you take a rifle round to the face while trying to call in.
Go back to CoD, this is Red Orchestra now.

Well that’s not what I said at all was it?
The AI one is a decent complaint. The arty one is just seething.

I think AI is better at closed combat than it was, I see 1-2 kills daily. Before - it has not happened for weeks after they removed the terminator bots and made them listen.
I also composed a very long and boring brainstorming about solving issue weeks ago. 
Oh here we go someone who literally thinks they are in real combat. The nerf wasn’t necessary and makes the radio operator useless

But it doesnt. I can still call arty quite helpfully. Upgrade your squads, bro.
The AI in general is frustrating
But do you not agree it’s useless when you have to wait almost 5 minutes and between artillery volleys?
No, it makes you useless, to yourself, and others, git gud.

Much better than it constantly being spammed and ripping everyone apart, teammate and enemy alike, for what can be no risk at all for the radio operator, just like m*rtar users. Upgrade your squad for a 60 second reload

Upgrade squads.

›NOOO GIVE ME BACK MY CRUTCH I WAS TOTALLY CONTRIBUTING FROM OUR SPAWN!!!
Now you actually have to play the game instead of spamming arty making it utterly unplayable for everyone else

The arty nerf was really big, but I don’t hate it. I’d rather have arty as a situational tool that can change the battle at a crucial moment than being spammed every 30 seconds and covering half the map.

But when it hits it should be big. I don’t have much experience with the new way it goes, but I guess they reduced the damage too much.
Only 3 months of daily posts about artillery nerfs. “Was not necessary”

If you aim right, it does hit big. I stick it behind the point when the enemy pushes, easy 10 kills.

Before the nerf the arty spam was hideous and totally lethal especially in invasion maps. A good player could just win a match by using arty squad ( i ve done it many times). The nerfs were huge indeed but imo we need a bit of time to see if they were ok or too much. Imo they are fine since you can still spam arty every 60s with your arty squad and in my experience it isnt that difficult to use since not many people are using arty after the nerfs.
The AI complain is fair, but i am pretty sure the AI in general will be better with time. Dont forget that the game technically jsut came out to OBT

The dmg is not less. It is different. Each strike hits harder, you now need skill to get a lot of kills but you can still get the 10+ if you actually place it well.
