It can also be penned frontally by an American 75mm gun

That does provide some flexibility to the playstyle of the tortoise, but then again it still remains a very very passive playstyle because of how vulnerable your one mistake can make you, likely more so than the jagdtiger, your shells don’t overpressure, they will not spall if u hit fuel, the spall might not be enough to take out the gunner in some cases and all these circumstances that already exist. And you limited penetration does limit your targets god forbid u face the is 3 or is 4 or any cold war heavy for that matter even ww2 heavies u have to go for weakspot that without aphe is hit and miss.
youre meant to play it passively? Just go full send with a squadmate and you can do a breakthrough pretty easy. It does work best as a defensive vehicle despite being an assault gun, Ive fought off two maus players in the thing hull down before with relative ease, just try and stay with teammates or in a hard to flank area
Well I’m not familiar with any kind of active defense.
-
you are slow so most of the time you’ll spot enemies in the distance and fight things from a distance.
-
if you do push far then there is a change at some point some enemy will end up at your flank, so you need to constantly check the map and limit yourself.

sadly, I don’t have any squadmates i can trust to cover my back in case no. 2
So yeah it is a very passive playstyle for some one like me. You sit at a distance, preferably on an inclined hill, throwing rocks, hoping for the best.
Idk how you managed such a feat. As far as I’m aware your armor is paper to them. And your gun can’t do shxt against their Armor from the front.
I roll my eyes whenever people start talking about playing anything passively, including these two vehicles - because rarely will you see people do it right, and what usually happens is they’ll sit back in an absolute silly spot and then get destroyed by CAS. And to top it off, they’ll come to the forum to complain about CAS instead of working on their positioning and tactics.
See i did mention pushing up the map but not far enough to be an actual push, just relocating to a more active area for you. As for complaining about cas, i have always been killed by cas most of the time, i will frequently have nuke level matches where all my deaths have been due to cas, i do rage but I’m not whining about. Cas is for everyone equally so what’s the point.
Aslo you are not adding anything to the discussion, you are just saying ‘skill issue’ like an oh so high and mighty godly player. The thread is not whining about anything, we are just having an uncivilised discussion about stuff. You may see me changing my views over the course of many of my replies. So yeah I’m not some brickheaded idioit just whining about stuff that killed me.
I haven’t even read the topic. That’s just my reflex reaction to seeing the ‘play it passively’ mentioned. Wasn’t even your comment where I saw it. Not judging your skills, haven’t checked your stats, not making any judgement of anyone here. Just saying about experiences in game in general. Wasn’t attempting to add anything to the topic, because I can think of many 6.3-7.3 British vehicles I’d rather take out than the Tort (I’m especially a sucker for the FV4005/AVRE, etc). Carry on.

Angles are wonderfully jank and I did keep breaking their main guns
as you learn maps you figure out good spots to both protect bases and force teams back
Why would you use those two heaps of crap? None of germany’s 7.0 jets are good.
i think they are good enough for 7.0.Otherwise i have to use ta152 and do335,they are too slow for 13km spawn.
They really aren’t, I’ve played the F2H Banshee recently and there is no comparison, it is so much better than a 262 or 229 and yet only sits a single step higher.
Look at the Su-11 and Me 262 C-1a, which are better than both and is at the same BR as the Banshee.
The dorito is downright difficult to use, due to the lack of rudders I kept finding myself having trouble putting the crosshair on enemy plane, it turns great and has enough ammo to spam full auto but the damn thing feels like a tank without stabilizer lol sometimes I think its a better CAS than CAP
Su11 maybe, but I’ve killed a few of those and they feel very very similar. 262 C1a requires a mentally insane pilot to be used well due to those dogshit guns.
Yeah I’ve not had any issue shooting those down. Poor roll rate, basically no rudder response, absolutely HUGE target.
I have 1v1’d some friends of mine in the Banshee, and I’ll tell you that I couldn’t really do much to the Su-11, although I did fair a bit better without the fuel tanks on the sides of the aircraft.
The guns don’t become an issue once you get the enemy slow, which can happen quite often with how great the flight performance is for its BR (with the boosters on, of course).
