Any of you fond of any tanks that you know are a bit pants but you manage to make them work and enjoy them anyway? I recently re-bought the Grille 15 (i sold it after 10-15 battles when i first got it). It's a bad tank compared to the other tier X TDs. Tried playing as a sniper and it just trolled me relentlessly. Re-bought it, and tried it as a hit and run tank (i play it like a giant ELC now) and started to love it, and i think it is 1 of the more fun tier Xs i've played. I will hunt down stragglers, and drive at them full speed, shoot them, then run off. Rinse and repeat. If i get held up or caught in a brawl i sidescrape and let the tracks eat shots, then peek-a-boom.
What are your tactics for making so called bad tanks work for you?

Most seem to think the Comet is crap, but I really enjoy that tank...I don't think the T20 gets that kind of scorn, but it does get lumped with the T7 mediums. However, I like it as well. I also like the T25 Vengeance a lot.

I haven't used the Comet for a long time. What are the issues people have with it?

People warned me about the Leopard PT A. Ammo rack on tracks, they said. Can't do anything very well, they said.
I have liked it from nearly the first match.
I play it more like a fat light and sniper. My top German crew is assigned to it, and he is the same crew that I bounce to several of my premiums, like the Awful Panther and 5/4.
I tend to go on runs of playing it. I was grinding several other 9s for awhile and enjoying the 46 Patton, so I went several months without playing it. I busted it back out during this goofy earn OP and am reminded why I like it.

I've heard of a few people really enjoying the Leo PTA recently, i might have to unlock it and give it a go.

I've heard of a few people really enjoying the Leo PTA recently, i might have to unlock it and give it a go. It's not a terrible grind, but it really does start singing once upgraded. Mobile and speedy. Low profile helps, too. Solid gun handling. Not the best, but solid. But you will get ammo racked, lol. Paper armor, too. Occasional bounces off the turret due to it being very well rounded in shape. Vision and camo skills are very helpful. I run it with rammer, optics, vents. Stabilizer is another good choice instead of vents. I tried both, but settled on the vents. I tend to be goofy like that and use vents on a lot of my lights as well as many mediums. There are days where that bites me,when I'm trying to hit on the move. But I like to maximize fire rate and view range. |

I haven't used the Comet for a long time. What are the issues people have with it? R35T...I think one issue is that it is the next tank in line after the Cromwell and it doesn’t play at all like the Cromwell....it’s noticeably slower and less maneuverable. Additionally, it’s standard round AP pen is 148mm and it’s premium APCR pen is only 208mm which can be underwhelming against some 8s and most 9s. |

It definitely has to be the Krafts Panther and Comet for me, they just look soo cool I can't help but play them. I do very well in them and love em both.

BDR G1 B for me. My only 3-marked tank. It's a total pain in the ass—both yours and the enemies'. Bad armor, bad mobility, bad turret traverse, bad accuracy, great pen and alpha. And I don't know how, but it just works for me.
