Now, many of you are aware that artilery inst the best ability, while personaly find it OK, there are few things that make it real annoying and hard to use compared to airstrike and orbilta laser.
A 1mm glass can block artilery
some of you are awere of this, some may not, but maps like underground has cealings made out of glass, some of them are impossible to break and some of them are breakable.
Now the breakable onces, can be broken by a gun, airstrike and orbital laser. The artilery however, wont.
Reason why artilery wont break the glass is because player would have to target the glass sealing, not the ground under it, unlike laser or strike which dont give a s#it about glass.
So to use artilery in places that have breakable glass, arty has to shoot the glass before he can use the artilery to shoot the are under the glass.
Not only this, but a small props around the map can block artilery from being used, example: the trainyard, there are power lines all around the map, that 1mm power line will block the artilerys lock on, causing huge fustration since other abilitys dont care about power lines.
So how do we fix artilery? well the artilery first of should not give a damn about things that other similar abilities dont care.
Other thing that could help artilery is to give it some sort of indoors ability, just like airstrike works as grenade indoors.
The artilery targeting… thing, coud have inbuild grenade/rocket laucher? just to give some use for this ability in indoors.
It would not do mutch more than 60 damage per rocket/nade, but it would be still more use than nothing at all.
(i find out that kira is also has to break the glass in the sealings to use his ability, differense is between arty and kira that kira can use his ability to break the other glass:es in the sealing with her ability in one use)
