I'm also going up the British line in another account Flexsphincter4 and follow heavy's or meds depending on map and team make up, if smaller map I go meds sometimes ,, if larger map ill go with heavy's some times, depending on map/teams ill go solo some were near middle , knowing were I want to be as I watch my meds/lights flanking and spotting, or heavy's spotting reds heavy's, watching mini map for the spots ,so I can plan my attack,
Always move from solid cover to solid cover , so they cant COD you, every time you move from solid cover know were you are going to go, and have solid cover spots along the way , even canyon type wall is your friend to rub off a pesky light, If you get shot during the move ,don't stop to turn , keep going to the cover so they cant COD you. You got hit points and from distance a light or many meds don't hurt ya bad.so take a couple hits and get to solid cover, then turn and DPM there butt, , and wiggle your tank so they cant aim at hatch , you will bounce a lot of shots in a brawl working your corner and scraping the rabid light or med off your side ,, if you stop in open your COD dead.. at tier 7 the gun is offset from center , if played proper at solid cover like corner of building very little of the tank is shown to enemy as you shoot from the corner, so always look for the opportunity to exploit that advantage, especially in town at a choke point.
One can carry the win in these tanks if playing a corner in town at a choke point or holding up a horde of flanking meds.
I'm in upper 50% and at the tier 7 and so far yes , they are slow and if the team is going to do a race around the map "together" except for your slow [edited] at rear, you can feel/ know when there flank is going to catch up to you and come up your rear ,, so I hit the help button at some point, at "good" cover position and turn around to set up ambush and wait for the horde of red flanking lights and or mediums to round that last corner with reckless abandon to dish out some British DPM. ,
The sides of map at himmelsdorf is a lot of fun to set up a trap for the rabid red tanks. there are many ambush sites on most maps, exploit them and reek havic to there
flankers with the fast firing british guns,, shoot the tracks so your buds can get in on the fun ,,,lol .. happy hunting , gl
