Tbh: Even if the enemy team is a bunch of potatos... getting a Kolobanovs in a SPG is impressive

Enemy: "6v1 against an arty!" Arty: It's hopeless... for the enemy.

Me: fck its 1v6 and im an arty Enemy: okey guys, lets not group up while every one 1hp

The problem with that arty position these days is the french ferraris zipping around. Used to play very aggressively on the Bishop and FV304. Now it's near impossible.

That might be the best arty game I’ve ever seen. Can’t believe they won a 1 v 6 in an arty...

Enemy: Ha ha, it is 1 vs 6 and he is an arty, EZ game ! M44: Cowabunga it is !

"Artilery is fair and balanced" -Awsome epic guys

3:12 biggest highlight of the game... That KV-2 aimed well xD

"You can't win a battle in an SPG"....This player...."Hold my beer"

i can hear a lot of cracking keyboard ang * beep * from his enemy

I knew this was going to be a good match as soon I saw the three mark medal on the barrel

Even though it shouldn't, it baffles me that this game ended the way it did. There were so many ways the enemy team could have won and only 1 way to lose and somehow, they found the 1 way to lose. Truely amazing.

Well, in my situation, I usually have to face 6 tanks with heavy armor and rush to me TOGETHER...

So u mean social distancing works well even in WOT 😀

quickybaby featuring an arty gameplay? must be april fools...

I haven't clicked on one of your videos since I stopped playing WOT , it's been about 4 years. You're still as entertaining as I remember :)

Having played wot in the era that sometimes had a match up with 10 arties each side........ I honestly do not get all the crying about arties now a days.

I've always despised the suiciding arties as an arty player myself. This is the exact playstyle I have. I use top down (I frown on the horizontal aim personally), use various positions, shoot and scoot, WATCH THE MAP, fight to the bitter end, and know what I can and can't do. Thank you for showing not all artillery players are drowning scumbags.

That was amazing, talented, inspiring, and all kinds of other descriptive words!! Thanks for sharing!

Fran, I remember when I had my m44, I even have a replay saved where I dive off a cliff to get the final kill. Such a great arty, very fast and accurate battery

3:12 kv2 teamkilling the 40tp

Send this to Jingles, let the old man be amased in he's old age and see if he's heart can take it

Just wow! Hats of to that guy for not just giving up👌👌

true story often times i kept watching games just to witness arty players going around the map and carrying it all ......... 07

"If artillery players develop a bit of hydrophobia..." XD

What Covid-19 can do to you without social distancing, edition: World of Tanks.

When trees start speaking American

Before EBRs. 16.3 is the fastest reload I have seen on an M44. Sitting in the middle of a map and no one finds him? Incredible.

That's how you're supposed to earn a Counterbattery... xD

Well, having binoculars on arty is just normal to me too, it's especially useful in situations near the end of the game, when arty got to spot for herself, or if spotters suck, and I got to cover some bottleneck positions, say the approach on the flank with windmill on Fisherman's Bay map. And yes, there is something about using top view only, I've seen at least one other good arty player doing that (he's often the number one on Russian servers), he said battle sight view is only good for firing over ridges. I'm not that good, so I use that "trajectory view" mode quite often. And in this particular game, if I was on the red team, I would go with both arties together, but not side by side, so the first one would serve as a bait / spotter, while second (preferably M44) stays a bit behind and aims at possible adversary's positions, which they _sort of_ did, but didn't succeed. Also I would not call "Stark's medal" an unusual one, got several of them (looking up my profile), specifically - 11 of them, plus some Gore's medals, a couple of "Rock Solid" (for killing tanks by ramming them with SPG and surviving the battle), one "Cool-blooded" (for killing two LTs in close quarter combat on SPG) and one De Legland's medal (for killing at least four adversaries while they are capping). Funny thing is, I got those later two in the same match. XD So, I'd say Stark's medal is the easiest to get of all of those, judging by the numbers of medals I got. P.S. If that means anything, I have not drowned my SPGs even once... However, I've "suicided" one or two times by shooting point blank at the wall, when the "team", I happened to be in, really, really sucked.

Love it, need more videos like this to learn how to move and attack like a real RPG user.

Dang. Well played. Impressive. Did not see that win comming :O

Did you notice the enemy KV-2 teamkilling the 40TP at 3:12 :P

also extremely rare to see a 3 mark of excellence artillery, probably his most played tank

Reminds me of some of my Arty battles, man it can be fun! That was stellar!

Great performance but a big shout out to the other team for allowing such a great replay to get made.

I'm an arty player. This is what we live for. I've had maybe a dozen battles like this out of over 10k. A strategic mindset and the ability to anticipate enemy movement is absolutely vital to your success. Great replay. More arty please!

u can tell that after the enemy team failed so bad against one arty that people are having toxic dms from each other

Great job, pains. While I am nowhere near as good as you are, I also try to play like this, helping the team and never drowning myself, unless I underestimate the depth and width of the water, like trying to cross a river and not going fast enough.

I don't even play WOT but someone linked me this when were talking about the greatest gaming clutches of all time. 10/10 did not disappoint. Hell of a game.

Finaly an arty that actualy knows how to use a keyboard

You know, I’ve actually thought about something like this before: Arty is basically a kv2 with no armor or HP, but you’re more mobile. I haven’t tried it yet of course, and i don’t even think it’ll really work, but on paper it seems kind of possible

that was epic. Well done. i was thinking of ditching all my SPGs but this has me rethinking that decision.

This looked like my battle as the tier 6 french arty on himmelsdorf. Literally the match turned into me driving around and drive by shooting with the gun.

Dang, didn't know a WoT redleg had the strength to carry that many medals!!!

Quickybaby’s brain: say it Quickybaby: why Quickybaby’s brain: you gotta Quickybaby: ThE ONe ThAt EvERyONe WaNts

Good video -- very exciting. As an arty player myself and in defence of many good arty players, I must say I would never drown myself to deny the enemy a kill.

That was, boys and girls, a work of art of a true master .... respect to the maximum ....

Perhaps if all SPGs (especially high tier) were more similar to the M44 and Bert the Avenger, people would try to fight more often. If you're in an unarmoured box that's less manoeuvrable than a Maus and has a 40+ second reload, you don't stand much of a chance no matter how well you play. That still doesn't excuse drowning yourself, tho'.

This is my first time seeing a arty player winning the game, 1 vs 5 was epic, good player🖒

It definitely is. Hitting targets, specially moving targets is easier from the top down view than the angled view. The only time the second angled view is the better choice is when there are some obstructions like rocks, mountains and windows and you need to aim on vertical. There are some maps with weird locations where aiming from top view is impossible as the reticle jumps sticking to the nearest map element. Like K8, J9 Glacier when shooting from southern base, the path is through the mountain, some of the rocks are forming a ceiling and it's impossible to shoot there with arty without the angled view. But every other situation the top view is best to get more consistent hits.

he does have x3 marks of excellence on his barrel very skilled played knowing where to position himself and where to aim

i usually play dont play arty. but when i "tried" the tier 6 french arty (cant remember name, amx 105 F3 or something like that) i REALLY enjoyed it. i didnt enjoy any other arties than that one. it is literarly perfect for me. -good accuracy -good damage -PERFECT mobility. since it is so mobile, iam able to pull off 1v1 and 1v2 fights (iam a below average player tho). aaaand sometimes i just play it like a shotgun, i rush in and hope for the best. i usually get called a retard for that but i dont play the game for wins. i play it for fun. believe me, try it out, you wont regret it. i got it through the amx 12 t.

I love the fact that almost everybody hates arty when you get hit, tracked, stunned or whatsoever. But, at the opposite, sadly almost everybody forget that sometimes, your arty saved yo a** because he stunned the heavy/med/td/light/spg that was about to kill you, making him reload slower than usual and letting you finish him before you get killed. In almost every game, I see arty getting roasted over and over. And rarely, in 1 of 1000 games, I see people saying "thanks arta". ~We work in the dark to serve the light.

The most satisfiying and fleeting moment is when you hit those fast moving ebrs (t8 prem, t9, t10). Its not those slow moving maus or t95, yeah sure you can hit them but with the amount of hp pool they had, they'll shrugged it off compared to ebrs.

This reminds me of a tom and jerry episode :D ,,a cornered mouse never fights'' XD XD

That arty has wat to fast reload speed and way to good mobility. Cinda seems unfair not gona lie. SU-8 couldn't even turn while it zipped around the rock.

I play mostly SPG and TD. Years ago i had a nice Grill (in times when KV1-S was a clan war ruler) that scored 9 kills on now delated map, Dragon Pass. I always play to the last shot. Actually I even got some medals for killing last enemy tank with last bullet. 😋

Never thought I’d ever consider seal clubbing in an SPG

SPG:Shots Chuck Norris:I change my mind

Imagine if someone would have teamkilled him in the start of the battle.

3:05 "Not respecting isolation"

I love how the dead tanks on the south actually blocked the entire flank.

Good to see QuickyBaby approves of the play style I have with SPGs

please tell me everyone saw that "Minecraft launcher" app on desktop :D QB never stops of impressing me day after another

SPGs are not hated for drowning themselves, they're hated because people have a visceral dislike of taking fire from vehicles they cannot retaliate against. And the WoT player base is mostly comprised of wailing infants. The drowning is incidental, I've seen plenty of tanks drown themselves, it's got nothing to do with the class, except that perhaps the SPGs have more opportunity. I guarantee you most heavy players would suicide to deny the enemy a kill if the option was available.

That reminds me of the battle I had from back when Arty had no stun. Me: AMX 13 F 3, alone The Enemy : Platoon of 3 IS-3 Same Map. The last IS-3 won with only left 32 HP because of RNG.

Damn, this replay was a delight to watch.

Well, these days I played the M44 again, after maybe several years. And yes, that little arty is fun!

How to avoid arty: Social distancecy

Now, this is just outrageous.

3:12 aaaah the good old TK times

This is an arty dream game. This is how I try to play when I choose arty. I wish I had a game or two at this level of performance. Even though the enemy makes these kinds of errors, that M44 still well deserves that victory. Gratz to him - got to be the finest arty game I've ever seen. Drowning on purpose is something that I never consider. It's the cowards way out no matter what vehicle you drive. I've had dead teammates telling me to drown many times in a "1 v X" and I've always responded "Negative". Fight to the bitter end - If they take my health then they earned it.

"stop camping" -Edvan(AEG)

I’ve had some great games with my M44 but dang! That’s great!

back in beta i used to rush my hummel to the other side of the map to shoot people from behind. This was possible because it could one shot any lights it might encounter if you kept your nerve. If you missed you were almost always dead. Waiting that extra second or two for the gun to settle is important. of course you cant do any of that now

As people say, social distancing is the key.

That was before arty was nerfed into irrelevance.

Glad to see I'm not the only weirdo to equip binoculars in some arties :)

What?... an artillery player with a fully functioning brain, willpower and motivation? Damn.. i wish all players had such a strong mindset.

literally just came from rewatching Circonflexes Artillery rant, hmm

I never drown my arty and report anyone who does for unfair playing

I got a kolobanov in a M44 about a week ago. If you want to confirm in game name is raptorchief. Won an assault game mode.

Top down view is definitely the better arty view. It's just so much easier to get your shots aimed to lead your opponents. You can see where they're going better, plus you can just aim better on the tank when they are sitting still imo

The rules of artillery 1. Stop camping 2. Hellcats is artillery favorite food 3. Don't sit at the same fucking spot 4. Don't hide in the obvious bush 5. High and low tier Arties love to shoot Premium tanks for "Balancing reasons" 6. Don't get too close to your own ally tank

As an arty player hitting the "g" key tends to make your shells go high and behind the intended spot. ps, I have drowned in my arty, never on purpose.

They weren't social distancing

That's how you make an SPG a TD. Incredible game.

Here we see, that playing Arty is more as just "sit, wait, click", like most of the peeps are pretending it is. Of course, not everyone does - or is even able to do - what he did here, but still, a good arty-player knows how to use his tracks ans splash ;)

When you are blesed by the RUSSIAN NUMBERS GOD or "RNG"

I used to play arty like this,M44 and Grille were my favs. But then I quit when the cars with broomstick came into the game.

Artillery Standoffs are probably one of the most nerve crushing situations... But damn, I love them... It depends so much on RNG and Cold Blood...

All these salt lmao. We could make a 2nd dead sea with the salt gathering here

What this player did would be impossible in a lot of other arty. The most lack a combination of mobility and a flexible gun. The American arty are the best imo.

Jee, what a replay

Wow! That was bloody amazing!

Love the content quickbaby. Just watched a video from your QuickyBabyWot. You have come so far Like if you agree

0:00 I see the title, i see M44, i m out.

I was doing German and USA arty at the same time, so I had this and Hummel. On Hummel it was easy to get ace tanker, but on M44 I had to struggle a lot. Finally I had a battle with decent damage and I was left alone vs 3 tanks, luckily I beat them and won the prize.

This reminds me of a lucky game I had in the m41 HMC yeeaaarrrs ago like maybe a year after I started playing I wish I knew that games could be recorded back then but it was on Airfield and it was a 2v5 where I did the majority of the work with some vk as backup
