It doesn't matter what YOU can do. It is the acres of cover for deadly TDs that make it death to drive anywhere.

I've just embraced it and camp to hell and back on my TDs now.  The SU-152 is badass enough but gets paired against T9s at times.  I'll have the ISU unlocked soon enough, then it's fun time.  I've added the spotted perk since all of them have enough for one skill and my K:D and Damage Dealt have been increasing steadily ever since.   It's hilarious.

You might as well go for it. My biggest problem always was that I never had the patience for camping.

My favorite camping map is redshire not because Of the fact the everyone fights over the bushes on that map, but that the 2 big points are the Hill on the top center and the rocks on the hill on the right hands side of the map. The big problem is that they are both out of rendering distance to one another, so basically both teams line up for a camping duel in places where its impossible for either side to see one another even if they have scouts lighting up the other side  DRILLING AND MANLINESS

They are effectively in 2 parallel lines and the 2 closer edges of the lines can see one another, but they mostly are 2 far away to see one another. But hey, I've only sad there in my TD staring at the opposite lines hoping the blips on my radar would appear. Anyway its just funny to me, not trying to start an argument.

The French TDs are actually quite fun as well, very mobile, but the camo value isn't great.

That would be the super annoying E25 premium tier 7 german TD that is op as heck.

Yeah when I found out it was a premium I had flashbacks to the early days of the Type 59.  It'll get nerfed in time, but not until they've sold a bunch based on how OP they are now.

It's basically a Hetzer crossed with a Pz1C, to give some context.

I did, mostly because I needed to reload gold so why not do it with a freebie tank. Haven't touched the thing.

Fun replay where my platoon carries the team to victory, and I kill the last two tanks to win (and get Top Gun). That SOB Engels beat me for top XP though  Mob

Even as a heavy I still love the 3601.

Patrol duty in my tissue paper TD. 7k damage done, 3k dmg spotted.  Hardly moved more than 300 meters after getting set up in the trees half way up the hill. Sometimes games just come together.

This was my 10th or so battle in this thing and did it with the stock gun (which is the t8 gun). The whole line is soooo trolly.

Goddamnit but I don't WANT to go up the German TD line.  I like my Russians.

I also don't want to buy the E25, knowing a nerf is in the cards as soon as I do based on my history.

I've enjoyed the American TD line so far.  I've leveled past it, but I still play the hellcat when ever I can.  Think its my favorite tank in the game.

Not no more.  Ohhhhh, I see.

This whole campaign is maddening. There are going to be a bunch of afk assholes who get tanks just because their clans did missions.

As I mentioned to my clanmates in game, it is just a little puckered asshole of a tank. Almost impossible to shoot from distance due to its pancake-like height, fast, and a rapid shooting high pen gun to chainsaw opponents to death. There is definitely a learning curve as to how to effectively use it, and it suffers on some maps, but all in all pretty fun.

I am almost through the Nashorn...one subpar TD before I get to the trolly part of the line. I can't wait!

I certainly hope so, cuz I'm a bit pissy with Alaskan. I asked him yesterday if there were going to clan wars last night and he said yes, there were at least 3, 15 chips each fights. Well, turned out that yet again, there was only one real fight. The other fight, the one I got in, was a gimme for -J-, which was fun enough, but not a real fight. A whole month and I've only been picked for 3 real fights. I think he doesn't get that adults have to schedule stuff around CW and setting a time aside for CW day after day with nothing happening is just utter bullshit.

Just wanted to note that I'm amused nearly 1/2 of my teams are TDs now with almost no light or SPG that has a chance of being a problem to be seen.  It's darkly amusing.
