Tournament strategies/best tanks etc

churchill50: Generally, the tanks you'll want to bring need to have a good combination of HP and DPM, with either armor or mobility.Tanks I would suggest would be:Tier 5: Pz V/IV if you can. KV-1 with the 57mm gun if you can't.Tier 6: T-34-85M, VK30.01P, HT No VI/Tiger 131.Tier 7: Tiger I. T29 with the 90mm used to be a decent option, but it's not anywhere near as viable after the Tiger I buffs, except on a few maps.Tier 8: Caernarvon is easily the best option. 53TP, E75 TS, Obj 274a, and Progetto 46 are also decent choices. For equipment, I would run Improved Hardening, Rammer, and Vents. This boosts both your DPM and HP. On some maps, you'll want to drop Vents for Optics (Malinovka, Prokhorovka, Redshire for instance). A few guidelines as far as strategy/playstyle:You do have to play the cap, or at least close enough to reset it if the other team tries to cap.If you can safely do so, try to get some early shots. If you risk taking too much damage while doing so though, then don't do so.Depending on what your enemy takes, you can just push them and force a DPM fight. For instance, if you're in a Tiger I and your opponent takes any other tier 7, you can just push into them because your combination of high HP + high DPM will allow you to win. To add to the last point, always be aware of the pros/cons of your opponents tank. For instance, if you're in a Tiger I and your opponent is in a T29, you can absolutely push them and force a DPM fight. BUT, you have to be careful not to facehug them, as the Tiger I doesn't have enough gun depression to shoot the T29's hull when facehugging.If it's a 2v2 or larger tournament, don't get separated. If your opponent can catch you out one by one, you'll lose. Stick together, focus fire, and share HP and you'll do well.You can look up your opponent before the battle (on the tournament page) to see what tanks they have and what their skill level is. You can use this to make sure you can counter their most likely tank picks.If it looks like you're losing, try for a draw. A win gets you 3 points, a draw gets you 1 point, and a loss gets you 0 points. So it's always best to draw instead of lose. That 1 point can make a difference in the end standings. That's about all I can think of right now. If I think of more later, I'll come back and add to this post. I hope that helps!
