TDs good or not?

  1. Have fun, if you like TDs

  2. TDs are usually about firepower, you can pen and kill more targets than a same BR tank (exceptions do exist)

  3. Some of the best vehicles in game are TDs, i personally liked M10, Marders, Jpzs, NaTo…and some others…

  4. Some matches TDs are better (open maps, tougher enemies), others not so much…

  5. See 1)

Of course there are BAD TDs and some that are worse than same BR tanks…and some are annoying to play (bad mobility or slow reload)…BUT it is not a bad class in itself. I use them in lineups with tanks and take into combat what i feel like…(or what i have left) and effectivity varies a lot.

The 1963 has bad APDS, HE resistance via roof, and a weaker engine. Completely dowater

23

Well it gets the closed roof but the armor is so thin it just weighs you down more, the APDS is the main difference and just isn’t worth the 1.7 BR increase and I think a worse engine.

24

TD’s cover a wide range of vehicles. ASU-47 to M36 to JagTiger All unique and played very differently so maybe think about your style of play or adjust your style to the TD your playing.

ASU-57 is really fun :)

just like L3 is not a TD, it’s a MBT(main battle tankette) as it quite literally was the main tankette Italy used!

The doom turtle just isnt good

That’s an interesting limitation. I wouldn’t have enough willpower to stick to just one type of vehicle. It’s just too tempting to try them all xd

IMO turreted vehicles are superior to TDs, simply because of the small brawling maps. I usually do best with jack-of-all-trades kind of vehicles.

PS. I had great time with Hungarian TDs (Italian TT)
I bet you’ll like them too :)

I beg to differ. I love the thing, wiggle, fire, hold the fort, not pushing out beyond team mates, but holding the alleyways that they cant. I plant my fat self in a bottleneck and I ain’t movin’.

TD doesn’t mean there is no turret. Many TD’s have a turret…

M36 - turret. many of the self propelled arty in the game have turrets and WT calls them TD’s, but then the M18 was a TD according the the US military and was labeled that by WT until recently… go figure ; )

Really?
I love that “Light Tank”
