med tanks in ranked

Draschel: Because they want damage, assistance damage (tracking) kills, and to live as long as possible. They hold an advantageous spot, providing low risk (camo) yet great vantage, many shots, many opportunities, easier escape routes. They may wish to also keep their distance from Soviet / Chinese brawlers, or heavy tanks. Even in defeat, it isn't too hard posting good enough numbers to set you top 3 on the losing team, and quite possibly 1st. Of course you knew all this stuff, (by that I mean definitely not) but just ignored it when you decided to post in whatever heated way.
