Apr 23, 2018 · The M12 is harder to use. It's main benefit is a much longer stun duration than M44. It's been a while since I played the M12, I have the M40/43 now and don't plan to buy the T9 until I'm done with the T55-A missions. Being bottom tier Arty in T10 game really helps rack up assistance damage if you time your shots well.

Apr 14, 2016 · M12 is pretty mediocre compared to the M44 despite it's higher alpha. Worse aim time for one, and gun arc isn't as good...but it's still pretty decent for an SPG. The premium round for the M12 only increases it's splash and increases pen by 3 or 4, so I never use it. My M44 is a keeper, but the M12 will get sold once I unlock the M40/43.

Nov 30, 2020 · The M12 is indeed a generally bad vehicle. M40/M43 is noticeably better, but it’s got a very long reload timer, so it requires a lot of patience to play well. Reply reply

Feb 16, 2016 · The M12 is a bit of a downgrade. First off, you lose the massively OP heat round. The premium HE round that the M12 carries just has a bigger splash radius so don't even bother with it. The gun constraint is much narrower which means if you're shooting anything fairly close you will constantly be turning which points out the third problem.

Apr 15, 2023 · Haha, fair enough. If you really hate arty I'd try for a while with the m12, definitely doable, but for the layer missions you'll want M53/55 anyway, so if it's frustrating just get the tier 8. That whole line is great, though maybe don't worry about getting the tier ten.

The M12 is actually balanced, while the M44 is overtuned. The M44 and M53/55 are the only SPGs in the line that combine excellent mobility with wide gun arcs; the tier 7, 8, and 10 have only OK mobility and not-super-wide gun arcs.

Feb 3, 2019 · The M12 is the dog of the US arti line, all the others are mostly golden, get past it as soon as you can. The keepers are tier 6, 9 and 10., with the tier 8 M40 being an improvement over the M12 but only marginally. The link is to a comparison of the US arti, the on paper stats don't always compare to the in game findings, but it gives an idea.

Jan 2, 2023 · having full intuition on your loader(s) is extremely useful for arty as well. you don't want to drop stunning shells in when your teammates are in close engagement because you can get banned for that (damage they take while stunned counts as team damage and i think if they get killed while stunned, it counts as a teamkill). it's also handy when you have an arty with lower pen (like a bc 155 55 ...

M12 5 A decent upgrade over the M44. Shares engines and radios with several tanks in the tree. T71 CMCD 5.5 After the split of the T71 into 2 different vehicles, this is often seen as the 'lesser brother'. Terrible lack of shared research. Higher DPM than its autoloading brother.

Sep 12, 2022 · I have the M53/m55 finally and it's fully stock still with a 1.5 crew that has BIA as base skill. Almost all my T55 missions were completed in the M12 or the M40/M43 and the prior campaigns were mainly completed in M44 and M41. I hate playing artillery and I'm only doing it for Object 260 missions because I suck at it with less than <500 WN8.
