i'll send a stormtrooper for it

it's allways nice to kill units of arty noobs

[Smokaz]

I've had 4 vet 3 howies, you suck tym.

[Tymathee]

you said you had 4, which means you've lost 3...i haven't lost one. My one howie had gained enough xp for 2 howitzers. I've only played about 20 games and i got it to vet 3 in about 3 or 4 i think.

but anyway. its lost, all because the truck decided to do its own thing and run off the field while building so i had to delete it, forgetting that this also destroy it oh well. Gotta get up another one

and wait, was my earlier post deleted? i could've sworn I made a post earlier in this thread

[MistenTH]

That's nice.

What happens if a vet 3 Howie with counterbattery counterbatteries a mortar, then a vet 3 Hummel with counter battery is in range? Will they both be stuck in an endless cycle of counterbattery until one of them blows up?

[stumpster]

I believe that there is a counterbattery cooldown, so it'll be a little odd...but you won't be stuck in an endless counterbattery loop.

[Tymathee]

Yeah there's a cooldown.

[brn4meplz]

It's a Howitzer, it's not hard to vet it kills a ton of crap. especially on players who don't know the sound(a recent game comes to mind...) But you sure make a big fuss of it considering you squeal like a pig when someone gets close to it in game.

this fairy tale will not prevent us from looking for it

since when a 105 howi get a counter battery?
or is it an exploit?  in last case i would admit a bugfix and bans for people using it

[brn4meplz]

No, dick

"Howitzer (2.5)
1 Maximum Health 1.25
2 Cooldown -30s - Accuracy 1.2
3 Cooldown -30s - Receives Counter Battery"

Veterancy values for Howitzer

And in the new Vet tables they want Priests/hummels/nebels/howitzers/stuka to have counter battery. So no, not an exploit

[Tymathee]

thanks brn, I really didn't want to have to put that fool in his place, i am seriously sick of this dude harping on me.

i you could read, that was just a question so calm down noob

Nooo ! now you've done it, I'll have this in my head for the rest of the day (nsfw).

[Mgallun74]

my 2nd howi is at VET 2 now after a game last night.. epic game, took over 1 hour, numerous attempts on the howi but all failed, my two teammates did a great job of protecting it while i went out and got all my other stuff killed aimlessly running into stuff.

[CafeMilani]

what a joke, 160 fuel for arty with huge range...

It doesn't even move! An is on a cool down, develop a tactic to destroy one.

If the enemy is defending it, that means a shit ton of Pop is stuck on his rear, use this to you advantage, double team his team mate, they will be weaker than you.

[VictorTarget]

Priests are harder to engage than howitzers, but easier to destroy, so it's harder to retain vet.  I have had three destroyed on me (something approximating losing one every 11 games) But they generally do enough damage to pay it all off.

I'm working on getting my vet 2 priest back, because that is a dangerous weapon in the extreme.  Gets the rounds out faster, so it can be gone before any sort of retribution arrives. 

[Unkn0wn]

I'll take a hummel over a priest any day.

[Bubz]

But priest has a .50 cal mounted on it!

[VictorTarget]

Priest is faster, has the .50 cal which can kill Marders, Armored Cars, and infantry (believe me, I've done it!), and while it's not as heavy of a shot, it does have slightly better armor.  Given enough time, Brens can put a Hummel out of its misery.  LMG42s won't do the same to a priest.
