Lert's tier 3 challenge

Lert: Updated OP with the first 10 battles. Copypasta of my thoughts so far below:   This is more painful than I remembered tier 3 being. Maybe I was just too oblivious to the pain when I actively ground through tier 3 as a noob. Or maybe the meta has changed and power creep has changed the game so far. Or maybe I'm just going through a rough spot with my playing - Odin knows my high tier play hasn't been spectacular lately either.   I really dislike the Medium III, so far. It isn't very mobile apart from some decent straight line speed. The gun is mediocre. The armor nonexistent - anything that hits this thing does damage and autocannons and derp guns just shred it. I've not survived a single battle. No viewrange to scout with, no camo to hide with, mediocre radio range. The tank is just too average without a stand-out quality I can take advantage of.   I'm going to need to start practicing what I preach and hang back and support instead of trying to force breakthroughs / fights.   I miss my expensive equipment and skilled crews. Ah well, nothing to do but soldier on.   Some stats so far:   Battles played: 10 Win rate: 50% Mastery: 2nd class DPG: 180 (in a 280 hitpoint tank...) Survival rate: 0% APCR fired: 1 Battles with a credit loss (assuming standard account): 1 Top tier battles: 4 Battles vs tier 4: 2 Battles vs tier 5: 4
