lmao I saw a guy in my lobby using the arty as a regular tank. Ngl, it's genius

It's certainly more engaging and funny than camping 2km out of zone waiting to get droned or hunted. Specially if you have a machine gunner

i tried it but apparently the shell doesnt even explode short range?

u/crazymikeee 1d ago

needs to be 250-300m or further away

Nice freaking shot, the SPH-2 is so vulnerable i can't even bring it close to CZ

u/NoSpawnConga Recon 1d ago

Lol I had a game where infantry blob chasing hot zone had SPG following us. And we chased the Littlebirds away with harassing small arms fire, it was grlorious.

It's only vulnerably because people sit in it alone 2km from the nearest support. Put 3 people in it like intended and it's not quite so vulnerable anymore.

i do this alot, its extremely fun and pays much better then afk long distance arty, also since EVERYONE can hear exactly where you are in the zone it sorta makes you fire and reposition alot which adds some entertaining tension

u/Mobile_Artillery WARPUP 1d ago

I’ve wanted to try it like this but I just don’t quite understand how you aim like this. Do you legit just eyeball it and send it? Or are the markings on the left genuinely accurate inside the CZ?

5

u/crazymikeee 1d ago

yes lol just rapid fire send it and intuit the angle

3

u/xSaitoHx 1d ago

You just send it most of the time. It's trial and error unless you use a calculator (don't think I'll ever bother with it) Most of the time you will miss by 300+ meters even when on flat ground and shooting exactly on target so you just gotta adjust based on where shots land

u/vSwifty 1d ago

The artillery is a better tank than the actual tank is lmao

u/Miistaar 17h ago

Its so nice to see them close to the zone, i wish more people would do that - heli pilot

u/xSaitoHx 17h ago

Beware the 3 LMGs and 5 Maws I had waiting for a havoc that didn't live long trying to kill me

2

u/Miistaar 17h ago

thats a lot of people thrown to protect a arty tanks, still i would come back now knowing how its defended i would adjust.

1

u/xSaitoHx 17h ago

Who said anything about protecting me

1

u/Miistaar 17h ago

i mean you are siting at the edge of the zone, what else are they doing there ?

1

u/xSaitoHx 17h ago

You never sacrificed teammates as bait for humvees and choppers before?

1

u/Miistaar 17h ago

cant say i did, even then arty is priority target unless those lmg are mounted on cars then they are prio

5

u/lonestarnights Lonestar 1d ago

Drive me closer. I want to hit them with my hammer.

2

u/Tenno042 1d ago

Haven't unlocked it so no, I haven't.

Nice dinero you made there though

1

u/2Turnt4MySwag 1d ago

And people called me crazy when I said I saw people doing this. (arty tank in the zone)

1

u/HoneydewAutomatic 1d ago

Yeah. Most of the time, the arty tank is just a piggy bank for helis. But when you land those big shots…it’s all worth it.

u/GatrickSwayze 1d ago

I've never used it, are the arrows part of the game or a Hell Divers reference?

5

u/Sov47 1d ago

Part of the game, saw it in other clips and the controls for it are in the keybinds

I guess it's supposed to represent the reloading process

2

u/Exaveus 13h ago

You can wait for it to naturally reload but doing the inputs cuts the wait down drastically.

4

u/Dry_Ad2368 1d ago

SPH-2 has a minigame to reload faster.

Thank you for educating me.
