If you have speed and depression, you can sometimes get an early safe shot at the slower red tanks going north. And you also might be able to take out an enemy scout that pops up right in front of you.   After that, you can look for shots of opportunity. Yes, you can be shot from multiple directions, but you can also shoot in multiple directions. It is "risky," but doable if you keep your wits about you and poke and duck in the right directions. It only gets really hairy if multiple reds appear at the same time in different directions.   You can constantly reevaluate and decide whether you want to flex north towards the aircraft carrier, flex south around the spotting tower, or retreat.   It's really not that different from playing mid on Prokhorovka.
