Tactics

• Hull Down

A tactic involving only showing your turret to enemy tanks by using the terrain. This tactic is excellent for tanks with good gun depression and strong turret armour

• Side Scraping

This tactic is commonly used with German Heavies, such as the Tiger I, Tiger II, and so on. This involves the tank commander angling his tank just 20-30 degrees or so, while facing the enemy or using a wall, so that all the shots to their side bounce off.

• Angling

Angling is when a tank is on one side of a 90 degree corner and the enemy is on the other. The one who is angling, puts out their front and turns it towards the enemy at a 110 degree angle. It is key not to show your side, because you will be penetrated then.
