[Replay] A very close game in the Strv 103-0 [Heartbreaking ending]

The Strv 103-0 on the other hand seems to do fairly well even when stock. So far averaging 3.2k damage after 6 games, so its pretty fun.    I'm really looking forward to the 103b so I can hopefully get TD-15 done for the Obj 260. I've been stuck on that mission for a year and I can't seem to get 8k damage again. Did it once in my Fv215b 183 a while back on Pilsen, but I got really lucky to do that. (Think I ended up penning 3 tier 10s with HE and then shot a few tier 8s to get it.)    I could try to go back and do LT-15 and SPG-15 with honors from the 55a to get the orders to skip TD-15, but I don't really have good tanks to do that in (or I don't get the right situations.) But Hopefully I can get it after it gets buffed
