I got the grille yesterday and have no idea what to do. I know you cant frontline; so my assumption is to shoot from a long distance.

Any words of advice other than to sell it?

No matter what you do, just don't get spotted because chances are that somebody will fire HE, (in this case in my E100 will strip you of 1,000 hp and probably light your tank on fire), cause between 600-1,300 damage and then light your tank on fire while also destroying your engine... Not fun when driving the Grille lol. If it's a one of the two deathstars, you avoid them no matter what because they will one shot you (HE damage+engine fire damage) 6/10 times and if not, you're crippled for the rest of the battle.

Gonna assume you do not have a 100% crew on it?

The tank is defined by: High alpha, High accuracy, Quick reload speed, Quick movement, Good enough camo and Paper armor.

You can go with med lights to get your first shot in, then reset camo and rellocate, take your second shot, if you see the other side of the map struggling: relocate to support it or get a shot in when that side falls.

Never peek when you are spotted unless you are 100% sure it is worth it (a killshot with limited exposure to enemy line of fire for example).

Perform a docking manoeuver when you are in close combat situations(which you should avoid btw) so if they by miracle hit the gun you get 1-3 more shots before you die.

Sure the grille can play way back sniper, but it’s also a mobile tank, meaning you’re giving up on strengths not running with the meds. It doesn’t have a high alpha shot where you can sit there waiting for someone to wander in front of your gun like a jageroo or 183 get your 1200 and call it a battle. If you do that you’ll end up with a lot of 750 hp battles. You have to know the spots on maps that are for the grille and when the team decides L or R, get to those spots and support your team. When the battle shifts or the team pushes don’t sit there, use that speed to keep your gun in the game.

Have you checked YouTube yet? Absolutely the best resource for this game.

Take off, nuke it from orbit.  It's the only way to be sure.

@OP: you should've been prepared to grille by the time you've grinded through the waffle...

Just please be careful around tanks with 150+ mm caliber guns because if they shoot HE at you, chances are that you're gonna get Grilled from engine fire damage.

I used to love the tank, until they butchered its mobility and left its camo in the same sorry state.

Beg for the Waffentrager auf E100 and hope wg adds it.

[Mako__Reizei___]

Give the FV4005 6 shells in the clip and make it a one minute reload. Might be balanced for blitz due to smaller maps and shorter time which means that you will probably be only be able to reload like 4 times. Either it would be broken op, balanced or under powered depending on how it's added into the game.

Thank you guys!

Go for spots as I do instead of damage.  The Grille is pretty fast once going and you can quickly be behind enemy lines before anyone realizes it.  

 

It's great fun watching all the reds trying to turn around and go after you as you whiz by going quickly.

Like my grandpappy used to say “when you have a nail to drive, don’t getcute, just grab a hammer and pound it in”.
