I've got two sidescraping tonks KV-4 KTTS and VK 75.01 (K) from the lootboxes and some time ago enjoyed a rental on Chrysler K. I wanted to ask for tips how to use them. If I get a city map, then it's no brainer – they work pretty well. However, current meta favours gun depression and if I get Campinovka on KTTS or Prochorovka on VK 75.01 then I have no idea what should I do.
Hypotetical situation:
I'm playing VK and I'm last on the team against, let's say, Centurion 5/1 RAAC, also last. He's one-shottable, but digged in hull down. I'm at good position, but can't reach him. If I try to go at him, before I get to the hill, he'll track me and finish me off, because I have no gun depression. What can I do?
I've encountered numerous situations like this, similar one on Airfield map, but I've had US heavy that I just supported and in some cases I just shot-baited people with my hull on the hill, so my ally could finish them off. Those games were super stupid, because VK would get outmanouvered easily. KTTS is at better position, because of the DPM, Chrysler had better reload time also. Nevertheless, on Prochorovka I ended up spawn-sniping with VK, because I have no idea what I could do with this tank (I was bottom tier).
What's the best strategy with those sidescraping tanks on open/hull-down maps?
