Does stun from artillery disable crew perks?
It has happened to me sometimes that I get hit by artillery without the 6th sense light bulb popping up, on a spot that is totally not obvious for blind-firing.
As the crew stun lowers effectiveness of the crew, does this mean that it also disables perks on crew members?
Solution 1:
It doesn't affect perks according to the Update 9.18 bulletin:
... tanks in the arty burst radius ... have their characteristics temporarily weakened.
This leads to the question, "How you can get hit by artillery without a 6th Sense alert?" Possibilities include:
- Counter-battery fire - When in bird's-eye-view artillery can see your tracers anywhere on the map and blind-fire at the source. See this video for an example. A teammate on arty's side, maybe somebody you're firing on, could guess your location and point to a map square for arty to watch.
- Breaking things like trees/fences/poles/buildings/etc. or moving destroyed tanks because these are visible in bird's eye view.
- If you were spotted earlier and didn't become unspotted 6th Sense doesn't alert you that you're still spotted. (Obvious but worth mentioning.)
