Eh, arty is only annoying when I get the arty strike message incoming 10-20 times in 2 minutes. It's probably both the team and the enemy doing it. Generally, it doesn't do much, but there still are the lucky shells into the back of the tank...
Planes aren't really that bad, though I had one with cannons come in directly vertically and kill my tank just before crashing. I was in a mountain pass WAY behind enemy lines, preparing to flank them while they were obliterating my team. After respawn I killed quite a few, but at that point too much time was wasted and I can't fight on three sides from spawn...
Still, I'm proud. Mostly top, but 90% of the time at least top 3 within the team in every battle. Still only tier 2 (BR 2.7 right now, researching a few 3.3 tanks in advance), but since I know where to shoot a tank, I can get one shot streaks quite often, especially from close range (harder to target the right points from afar).
What do you guys think about the state of the AI right now? I find it quite fun and it actually fires at enemies decently (stop, aim, fire), even though its tanks are quite underlevelled. Had one the other day that drove in front of my T-34 with a T-26, blocking my fire at the StuG III (and 4 other enemies). Got me killed, because the enemy could easily shoot through him and behind my cover, while I couldn't see anything. Otherwise, they're fun targets and their shots can actually cause a problem if you ignore them, I think.
