Do you have it? Do you want one? What are your opinions on it?

I have the XP for it and plan on getting it tonight. Not sure I'll spend a ton of time running it due to the probability of mass amounts of them for the foreseeable future...may play my T49 instead with all of the soft skinned German TDs running around...might actually be able to get my 3rd mark in the damn thing.
I think everything about the tank is the gun, gun depression and speed to relocate. Camo value isn't good, but neither was the Waffle E100 so not expecting too much there and didn't really expect anything either. |

Haven't got it, but want it. Have the Waffle which I very rarely run. This just seems a much more natural progression of the line. Have enough gold to free XP it, which I'll most likely do, and take advantage of the sale price. But as Snorelacks says, I probably won't run it too much yet. Saw a vid by Cosmic and it looked like there were 6/7 to a team in it.

I'm shocked a damage standing is available already. Many, many people prepared for this day obviously.

Well, I caved in an bought 100 bucks work of gold. Free xpd to both tanks. So far I like them both. I have only played a few battles in each but they are fun. Grill 15 is nice becuase its mobile. I didn't notice the sluggish acceleration but I am running 100 0ctane. Gun hits hard a far too! The Waffle E100 is pretty sweet too! No epic battles yet once I get the hang of it and once both my crews are trained in their tanks I'll be set!

So, had enough free XP to get the Grille, and did. Initial thoughts: I like it, but want/ need to get better in it. Highest damage so far is only 4K. Averaging about 2.5K, which aint enough.
It's quick, decent view range, reasonable gun handling but with slow "turret" traverse. But, to me it's still a much more natural progression of the line than the Waffle. Can see this being a keeper.

Thought I'd copy&paste R35T's writings on this if anyone missed it.

I'd say yes, it's a bit different having to adjust to the camo, and I was also basing my performance on how many pens I landed, but then I remembered the alpha of the gun. Can't check my averages right now, but I'm figuring it out. |

The only thing I don't like is the reload speed 12ish seconds with BIA. Wish it was a little faster. I could run chocolate but I won't do that til I get alot better with it.

There seem to be a lot of salty folks on the live forum because it's not a hideously overpowered monstrosity. They have a point. It doesn't fit with our TD meta and I think most people thought it would.

It doesn't fit with our TD meta and I think most people thought it would. I found myself using a batchat style tactic with it successfully. I'm not to great with the shoot and relocate becuase I don't know many TD sniping spots, but sneaking up on distracted tanks and blasting them worked! |

This 1 foot in, 1 foot out thing they have going on will only cause more and more problems. They should, imho, brought our TDs in-line with the PC versions prior to adding the Grille 15 to console. |

Took 1 for a go yesterday on console. It's alot of fun. Forget sniping and use it like an ELC or 416 (or a Batchat like Zero said^ ^ ) when played aggressively except the Grille gets gun depression instead of camo, which is great in its own way.

It seems to be free hit points or to hide at the back of the map and wank in a bush the whole game

So far with the Grille, I had split opinions on it, Mostly raging from the gun at distance which can prove to be troll here and there, Im closing in on my 3rd Mark now and averaging around 4.5k damage per game, 3.63k overall at 150+ games. The thing with this tank or so to speak the way Ive been playin it sort of like a support medium, The best skill for it is to analyse the enemy team, If you get a map like mines and theres 3 BC-25t's on Opfor Dont rush the hill but instead try get to a position where you can put a deadly shot in at the start, This will piss said players off and they will play passive.
If not and the enenmy has all heavies and TD's you can play the grille like a medium, I split my gameplay between the lines of a Supporting medium/Tank destroyer because the gun is really good at peekabooing if you concentrate the reticule. Its not like any other TD ive played for sure, You cant use the same positions as what you would in a 183 268 or even E3/E4. I find, its a tank that performs at its peak in late game stages. Ive carried a few because the gun late game is where people make mistakes and because the gun accuracy and shell velocity is soo good. Catching an E5 out can decide between win or loss. Essentially, Its like a medium but just remember you have no camo rating and it suffers a similar fate to the JP II.. Not a good reverse speed.. Soo dont get too cocky with it. Conserve your HP and if you can try bait enemy into positions you know you can smash them in or use team mates as bait.
My equipment on the grille is Binocs, Optics and gun rammer. The reason Ive doubled up on view range is because it works. The max distance with optics alone is crap so doubling up on them has allowed me to shoot players on distances of up to 700m away which is fucking epic. I dont use Chocolate on this tank anymore, just a waste of credits, The gun wont perform better when sniping people, The dispersion of the reticule will still let you down here and there and the reload is already pretty decent - 13.6 sec reload. I dont use camo net, Its useless. I have tried double bushing (Im aware it dont work on console) with camo net activated and still get spotted. JesterUSMC pointed out he uses a medium spall liner, I dont use spall liners personally because I have personally seen no use from them, If someone fires HE at you.. They will probably pen regardless and for ramming? Well.. Its a waffle 4 with a 15cm.
