I'm surprised they didn't buff trash Sexton.

Sexton doesn't need change.

They will lose their jobs if they fix everything in one patch. Remember they said they have a 5 year plan? lol...

I actually made a post where I pointed out the buffs sexton needs but that disappeared into the abyss for some reason.

I can only say to that:

The Sexton in its current state is a unit that is so bad that calling it in actually puts you at a disadvantage from the wasted resources, population and upkeep.

You woulnd't even get this unit if you were vastly ahead of your opponent and just wanted to troll them.

I once played a 1v1 against a guy who went arty commander. He starts shelling a position with a Sexton, and instead of moving around, I just knowingly moved my infantry blob through there. I remember raising an eyebrow at a lucky shell killing a Volkssquad.

I mean, I suppose it's not UTTER garbage, since there we have the proof it wiped at least one squad in the history of competitive 1v1s due to my stupidity. :foreveralone:

It needs a buff.

Go on, dare UKF players to choose Artillery Commander, especially in 1v1 and 2v2.

Hey, less Churchill call-ins. Win-win.

What confuses me is that the whole doctrine is plainly bad, yet the only change it gets is to make the valentine a 6CP call in instead of 8CP. Even then I'm convinced it will be as pointless at 6CP as it is at 8.

There hasn't even been a comment on if the line of sight change in the last patch was intended or not.

I think the devs are hesitant to buff the Sexton at the moment due to the dominance of certain faction's indirect fire within the current meta. At the very least the Sexton can certainly do with an increase to range; it's very silly that it has to get so close to its target to let off a barrage unlike any other of its counterparts.

Sexton and base howis need a radius increase on their shells.

Sexton needs a range increase too.

I'd be happy if it had a bit shorter of a cooldown, but I dunno. When used with the valentine it can fire pretty frequently and it can dish out a ton of damage.


I'd love to use it more to really get a feel for it, but it's fucking impossible. By the time you can get 9 cp's and the resources to call out a valentine and a sexton, you're facing down medium tanks.

I'm not very quick to say things are unviable. I think it's a terrible word that people use to describe "hard to use", but jesus christ on a pickle I haven't been able to make royal artillery work at all in any semblance of a real game. I'm still trying to get it to click by focusing on playing a longer t2 and not even teching up to t3 but it's risky as hell to play Brits without proper armour. (It's possible, but I find it difficult)

Using the sexton on its own just seems like doing the doctrine wrong, it's meant to be used in synergy with the valentine. But getting both of them and then keeping the valentine alive to vet 1 is just UGHGHLA>kndcl.asnbf right now.
