Sight for artillerymen "Arti (ST)" for WOT 1.6.0.8

Description

This time we will pay attention to a special type of sights - specially designed modifications for ART-SAU. This type of mod belongs to sight for artillerymen "Arti (ST)" for WOT 1.6.0.8.

Artillery sights stand apart from all sights that are used as modified ones, and artillery fans prefer these modifications, since they mainly play on ART-SAUs. On the one hand, they need a high-quality and detailed art sight, on the other hand, in terms of a sniper sight (for tanks), what is installed by default is enough for them. It is in this case that special ART sights come to the rescue.

Exactly what is needed

It’s worth noting right away that art sights are not always successful - some authors, in the pursuit of originality, try too hard, which ultimately leads to distortions - they either oversaturate the sight with functional innovations, or, in the pursuit of originality, they make the graphic aspect too ornate and complex . It follows that the sight must be made both beautiful and functional, but at the same time it should not be excessively beautiful, that is, there should be exactly as much content as is needed and no more.

Beautiful, moderate and informative

In principle, this set of preferences acts as a litmus test for choosing the optimal art sight, since such a set of rules is fundamental.

From the point of view of the picture, the sight should be clear, with optimally selected colors and contrast, so that too bright colors do not tire, or too dark ones do not make the player sad. All inscriptions and indicators should also be clearly visible, since in battle we don’t always have time to look closely, everything should be clear, simple and understandable.

In terms of information content, a measure must also be observed - there should be plenty of information, but only within reason, so that the player does not get lost in the jungle of information trinkets.

So that you can more clearly understand what criteria you should listen to, let’s list them:

  • Dynamic and digital recharge indicator;
  • HP indicator and fragment scattering circle;
  • Shell counter;
  • Indicators of the distance to the target and the time of approach of one projectile;
  • Nickname/tank type in sight.

In my opinion, these are the most important criteria, that is, with them, the modification of art sights has everything necessary, everything that is more than this, the type of angle at which the gun is currently raised, is just a pleasant addition without which your game will not suffer in any way.

Artillery sight "Arti (ST)"

It’s not without reason that we listed the most important criteria and described what a good art sight needs, and that’s exactly what the “Arti (ST)” artillery sight is, which is why I liked it - it has everything you need, and there are no unnecessary “whistle-stars” which are of no use, and now let’s move on to the debriefing.

Dynamic and digital recharge indicator– these values ​​​​show how much time is needed to reload and how much is left before charging if you fired a shot a little earlier.

HP indicator– an indicator showing how much HP the tank has or has left at the moment, allowing you not to be distracted by the damage panel.

Circle of scattering fragments– an area around the center of the sight that is slightly different in tone helps to understand what the radius of damage from fragments is and to correct the aiming at the desired point.

Ammo counter– like the HP indicator, it duplicates the capabilities of the damage panel, and in this case, the icon panel;

Indicators of distance to target– shows how many meters are left to your opponent, helps you make the right lead, and for those who are too lazy to figure it out in their minds, there is the following indicator: %.

Time of arrival of one projectile– shows how many seconds the projectile will fly to the selected target, which allows you to take a lead (especially effective against slow targets).

Nickname and tank type in sight– I would classify this item as the least useful, but for those who have difficulty determining what kind of tank they see in the art sight mode, it will do. In any case, you can roughly understand what kind of armor this opponent has and what potential damage he can suffer.

Sight for artillerymen "Arti (ST)" for WOT 1.6.0.8– is an example of balance, moderation, coupled with a fairly high degree of clarity, graphic execution and the availability of the necessary tools. So we can classify it as a sight for artillery guns, which will appeal even to those who do not like to use modified sights at all.

Latest update information:

Updated 09/12/2019: Updated for World of tanks patch 1.6.0.5

Artillery, unlike historical combat vehicles, is deprived of the ability to fire direct fire over long distances. The mod for enabling sniper aiming mode for artillery eliminates this injustice and makes it possible to use World of Tanks artillery tanks as anti-tank guns.

The video illustrates well the operation of a sniper scope for art.

You go into battle, for example, on the German artillery destroyer Bison and you can play both as artillery, throwing across the entire map, and as a tank destroyer, shooting at enemies with direct fire. When playing art in this mode, you need to take into account that you have a huge spread, a complete lack of armor and poor mobility.

The accuracy of artillery is significantly worse than that of other classes of equipment. But, if in art mode a projectile hitting a target not directly but nearby can also cause damage to the enemy, then in sniper mode the projectile will simply fly past the target. Given the long reload time for artillery, such a mistake could be fatal.

Poor armor and mobility means you can't glow at all. If detected, the chances of escaping or getting a ricochet from the armor are minimal. If you are playing in art mode and an enemy light tank breaks into your base, then there is still a chance that your allies will destroy it before it destroys you. But if you play on art in pt mode (sniper), then, most likely, your combat vehicle is in the direct line of sight of the enemy. Unsuccessful camouflage and exposure in this case usually means a volley fired at you from several barrels and sending you to the hangar.

Settings

The mod configuration is located in the cammod.cfg file in the scripts\client\mods directory. In it you can change the buttons that activate various aiming modes, as well as the free camera. The mod for a sniper scope for art is not a cheat, but the mod for a free camera in battle is

Battle Assistant is a mod authorized by the developers, which is necessary for more convenient aiming for self-propelled guns. In this article you will learn as much as possible about this mod. You can also download the sight for the art mod battle assistant world of tanks 0 9 17, I will also tell you in detail how to install it.

Benefits of the Battle Assistant modification

Battle Assistant is a completely different sight for artillery (self-propelled guns) in World of Tanks, the peculiarity of which is that the view during the artillery mode completely changes, that is, the basic top view is replaced by an adapted isometry and thus it is much more comfortable to fire at enemies. When aiming, you can literally count the trajectory of a projectile.

This is especially noticeable when shooting in the city or near standing buildings, since you can see whether the projectile will fly through the houses or not, unlike the normal mode, where you only have to navigate by the changing color of the stripe.

The mod only works for self-propelled guns; work in sniper mode for other types of equipment (tanks, anti-aircraft guns) is not provided.

Is the Battle Assistant mod allowed by the developers?

It was this mod that took first place in the Wargaming Developers Contest (WGDC - Wargaming developer competition). Therefore, the mod is not prohibited, and moreover, it is approved by the creators of the game. So don’t worry, you won’t be banned for this.

Key features and benefits of Battle Assistant:

  • switching aiming mode (key J by default) - standard and “self-propelled guns of a healthy person.”
  • ignore obstacles - the camera will not jump over obstacles in the path of the projectile (enabled by default).
  • zoom for art - also known as zoom mod, that is, you can move the camera as far as possible from your tank and see almost the entire battlefield.
  • “Expert” mode - now the skill is triggered a few seconds after the damage inflicted on the enemy, and the perk is now activated after the command “support with fire.”
  • fire spotter - have you noticed that when the enemy on the hill is hiding, the projectile flies much higher? This is due to the fact that if there is no target, the aiming point moves far behind the tank; in such cases, the spotter forces the projectiles to fly along a lower trajectory.

Here's a simple comparison of the standard aiming and the sight with the mod installed:

Description

We present to you the best art sight that currently exists in our game World of Tanks. This is a unique mod for artillery called Battle Assistant for WOT 1.6.0.7, which has a half-sniper half-artillery aiming mode. By turning on this mod, you can throw shells and at the same time look from the side at the enemy tank and see the real trajectory of the shell. That is, with its help the player can see for sure whether he can hit the enemy tank or not. With it, it is easier to target the enemy behind houses, behind hills, and in general it becomes easier to understand the trajectory of a flying projectile. The sight is simply ideal for precision art, where the spread is not very large (for example, for Object 261 or any French art). It helps you avoid hitting screens, harps, and just about anywhere, namely, aiming at those places where you want to stick the projectile to the enemy. Experienced art experts highly praise and recommend this mod; they say that they used to bend it before, but with it they began to bend it even better. This mod is not prohibited; the administration of the World of Tanks game knows about it. Moreover, this mod took first place in the category “Best Game Modification” in a competition held by the developers of the Wargaming company called “WGDC”. This is a completely legal mod for artillery. If you are not aware, the developers may introduce it into the game in the future. In any case, they have (or have had) such conversations.

To enable the Battle Assistant art sight, go to the artillery sight and press the "J" key or the mouse wheel.

Screenshots

What happens when you press the ALT key while firing?

Module "Useful Expert"

To operate it, you need a crew member with a pumped-up Expert perk. As a result, the perk will automatically trigger within a few seconds after shooting or tagging an enemy with the command “support with fire.”

Module "Fire Spotter"

This is a very cool thing. When playing with artillery, each player had cases when, when pressing the shot button, the enemy disappeared from sight, as a result of which the sight was lost and the shell flew off to the wrong place. With this module you will not have such problems, because it will clearly, in automatic mode, fix the sight after the enemy disappears from the light. This will save you nerves.
