Your kd/r is 722 kills and 358 deaths in the fox… your only real outstanding tank, which kinda speaks to the point of it being far too potent.
Yes, it’s called positioning
See a good position is hard to attack and might even make it impossible to attack from a certain direction whilst on the ground
Now if we can determine which tank provides the bigger threat this will help greatly
A fox will struggle to pen the mediocre armour of the front of your average mbt
If we prioritise the fox then it’s imperative you either take away his wheels or his crew
If we prioritise the tank then you shoot to either one shot or disable to buy you time
Another option is smoke grenades which block line of sight in certain directions allowing you to take one vehicle at a time
If all 3 vehicles push you at once that is not the fault of the fox

Clearly it is far too potent for war thunder due to the fact the player base doesn’t look around then half the time
Must be removed from the game!
Are you using a headset?
I can hear directional audio from the basic (albeit very good) speakers on my Macbook.
I can confidently say the 7.7 ELAND is much quieter than the fox

That’s a big IF you can get into a good position, otherwise known as camping.
I don’t camp almost ever, and I don’t try to remember all the mountain goat positions on all the maps.
Of course I’m using a headset, I’m amazed that people don’t.
So you are complaining about the fox whilst also refusing to force the fox into a disadvantageous position because you think it’s camping?

Not really what I said… but alright.
Also I do find it funny that most people in here have a skill issue and don’t have 1.0 kd, yet y’all kept saying I had one XD, and a few people haven’t even touched the fox / British tech tree in this thread…
Yeah that “consensus” clearly isn’t biased.
Also to add to positioning. Unless you stay in your spawn it really doesn’t matter. The fox will be pretty much outside your spawn unless it’s a sandy map, in literally 20 secs
Level 50 (Almost at 10.0).
Been watching/following/Playing since the game was planes only (had a few years of no PC to play).
Brit main yeah, because thats where Aussie vehicles are.
KD is shit… Because I play support positions and I don’t stop spawning vehicles until the match ends. Not only that, but you should also play with "260"ping so then a shell that should kill someone disappears before it hits an enemy.
Also. No. That 500m from the front is actually easier when you are smaller than the Maus. The ones of the turret roof, yeah would be harder to hit with Russian vehicles.
Is it wrong to actually have a 7.7 lineup that isn’t just Cents/20LBer?

But that’s what you’re doing
I main Sweden and I think you’re silly
There are many hull down positions with fantastic sight lines on most maps.
Fortunately the fox would’ve made it to you before any tanks so once you’ve had a splendid trip to specsavers it should be easy pickings seeing the cars bouncing on over with no other tank to cause distraction
I’d argue the tanks that are worst equipped to deal with a fox are some T series tanks and most BRITISH tanks due to their poor reverse speed and lack of side armour
I Feel your pain
Pretty much every T series tank operates like that…
Not to mention, Brit’s never have enough people to be Brit v Brit.
Some have side armour that stops the apds for a decent while
And yeah not enough so it’s mainly the soviets that may have issues if they’re caught unaware pretty close
That’s a long time to be lv. 50
Show me this magical weak spot on the Maus, your lying.
Also, with the fox gone to 8.0 (which would actually bolster your 8.0 lineup) you still have 5 vehicles at 7.7
Many other nations have had lineups destroyed by Br fixes, in this case, your line up would still be super potent.
Yeah. I am using the E100. But they are close enough anyway.
Years =/= time played some people may only have a an hour a day, or rather play other games they they were competitive in. They do still follow the news of the other games they play… Well some weird people i guess.
Which one? Because at best Soviet side armor is 80mm on T series
An E100 is a very rare tank to see, and unsurprisingly NOT a Maus.
Okay. I have 5-6 years playing the game.
No, you can go through the side of the maus out to 1km. Likely even further. Maus is arguably the worst example of a common threat at the BR, which most conventional guns struggle with at range. It also doesn’t kill Russian heavies particularly well if you’re aware of it.
I’m trying to not to say it’s a skill issue, but you’re making it bloody difficult.

The Is-4M can get driver hatched by the maus, the IS-3 is so short you can literally just shoot the roof and kill it, The T-10A can again be easily killed in the driver hatch.
Edit: the Is4m can also be shot in the roof by the Maus.
T-10A can get hit in the commanders hatch
So are you doing a straight 0 degree angle on the Mauses sides? Because that doesn’t happen very often. Even I think it was a 7 degree angle makes those all bounce on the side of the Mauses hull.
If you’re aware of the one weakness maus can exploit, position accordingly. It is not hard.
Happens plenty enough that I have yet to struggle to kill a maus with a Russian heavy tank. Even assuming you don’t have the flawless side shot, you A) have a cannon you can use to disable the only half threatening gun, and B) have enough machine guns to track it.
I also just took out the IS4, and without firing back or crippling any threats in a slight uptier, survived upwards of 20 heat rounds. Even a couple rounds from an m103. That’s worst case of just driving into the enemy. So quite frankly, you’re not all that flash as you think you are.
