Hello! I really don't understand why this tank is handicapped so much. I see absolutely no reason that it has to have three enormous weak spots on top of it. Seriously, this isn't war Thunder. I have no idea why they felt the need to put a flak cannon on top of it. Not to mention it has the classic lower plate weak point. that makes FOUR weak points that almost any tank in t8 can penetrate. Removing both of the machine guns and buffing the rangefinder armor too 170-190 would put the tank in a relatively good spot. I say this because it really needs to be able To avoid/ tank the first shot. It doesn't have the mobility/ gun arcs to fulfill a flanking role like a Hellcat might be able to, but it is incredibly mediocre at sniping.
Of course ou could always just say “you're not supposed to get shot at in the first place” but you could say that for any tank destroyer. waraming itself even says it's a mid-range support.
But I might just be really bad in this tank, please discuss.
