I have played more than 1,000 1v1 ladder games and I have NEVER seen t3 arty on it. As others have said, Dualgap and astro are maps where t3 arty comes up a lot, but outside of it, its almost non-existent.
Nerf t3 arti

T3 artillery is in every game I play no matter what map it is, large, small or medium.
Your last 100 games are all the exact same astro map btw
The complaints about point defense and flak being op too are very telling
Stop playing the same map and you’ll stop seeing the same strategy.
put the xbox units in the game pls u_u
Even on astro (assuming its the non-rich version) there are a number of alternatives and counters to T3 arti and lots of options for ending the game before it even gets to that point. You'll also usually need 2-3 T3 arti to break through an enemy base with shields being a mass efficient defence in response to a single T3 arti due to how compact bases tend to be (1 T3 shield can cover your entire base if you've built it with T3 arti protection in mind)

I’m not simping(???) for T3 artillery, I generally dislike turtle games that end up with lots of passive ecoing and sim city gameplay which lead to T3 arty. I’m saying that T3 arty are only useful on a very specific type of map. If you play a different map, you will see different strategies. It’s got nothing to do with the balance of the T3 artillery. If you want T3 arty to be nerfed such that nobody makes them even on turtle choke point maps then they’d be unusable. Might as well be asking to remove the unit from the game.
put the xbox units in the game pls u_u
t3 stationary arty is a meme tbh

Alright lock this thread I'm sick of the excuses for people simping on artillery.
Yes please lock this thread @Deribus ? It is painful to see such needless ripping on OP.
Fewer people could have made the same point and have had the same discussion with OP.
