FireStrike's ''Tank Destroyer Survival Guide For Dummies'' (Pocket Edition)

I found a very good guide on EU forum. This guide were written by FireStrikeOnline. Enjoy!

Welcome to my guide on how to survive your encounter's with Zeus bolt shooters Tank destroyers !

If you've ever known the feels of being obliverated by an Invisible TD 400m away then keep reading ! 
hugz 2 maek u feel better :)

First off i would like to say i have never had serious issues when fighting against Tank Destroyers (Except for the new German TD line, Those Rhm Borsig Waffentragers are little ninjas :P). However just looking round the forums one can easily find venting status's about these Tommahawk Cruise Missile launchers Self propelled Anti Tank Vehicles.
As with my other Guides i try and make them as GIF heavy and comedic as possible to keep your attention to the fact that this is a big hefty guide with lots of big words. So please,  Sit back, read and laugh (And try and learn something new in the process :P).

I would like to start by saying that TD's are not invincible, In the Battle Of Kursk during Operation Barborossa the German's lost almost ALL of their ''Ferdinand'' Tank destroyers due to infantry rushing them (As they didn't have MG's). 
Wait what ?..... Really ?.... World Of Tank's dosen't have infantry ?..... Oh man these players are F****d !
But despite the fact World Of Tank's dosent have infantry you lot are definately... not....... f****d........ (damn i suck at lying)

Part 1 - Check yourself, Before you wreck yourself ! (if you don't wreck yourself i'm sure a BL-10 will)
The best way to survive TD's is to not get hit by them !
Jeeze creapy Nicolas Cage Gif, Let me finish !. Let's talk about how you can improve your chances of not getting a person sized shell being slammed into your fighting compartment. I have taken the liberty of making a diagram showing the physics and mathematical calculations including schematics and data graphs plotting the exact positions where you should not be to avoid getting hit by a tank destroyer (See diagram below) :

Spoiler

After reviewing this diagram extensively you can see the area's of a TD's view that are safest for you to be in, I would strongly recommend sticking to these area's at all times.

Part 2 - Rock's Stop Shots (Try and say that 15 times really fast lol, #ultimate tongue twister)
Alrighty, What if i told you that there was a magical formation of matter and elements that have been present on our very planet for billions of years and are even present within world of tanks, Objects so powerful they could litteraly stop a JgzPanzer E100's 170mm shell dead in it's tracks, These mythical objects of wonder are known as ''ROCKS''. I even took the honor of once again making a physical repersentation in the form of a mathematical schematic to demanstrate the appearence of this illusive formations of matter on just one map (They appear on many maps). See diagram below:

Spoiler

No but seriously. Cover is there for a reason, Use it. The amount of times iv'e been in a TD looking at a tank/ers in the open just sitting their and exchanging fire with me is crazy. Use cover !, If there isn't any then run to some. Don't make it easy for the TD to win, Your typical TD in WoT is tough and has fantastic Alpha / DPM. You will loose almost everytime if you sit in the open exchanging fire with them. Because if you do that then i have one thing to say to you.

Part 3 - A circle a day keep's the doctor away ! (Ever been hit by 183 HESH ? They litteraly kill all your crew, WoT Medical bills must be insane)
If you come across a plasma ray beam launcher tank destroyer in the wood's then don't just sit infront of the buggar like most fools do, Get around his sides and rear and punish him !, Fair enough this is difficult to do against turreted TD's like the T30 but turreted TD's often have horrifically slow turret traverse so you can still try your luck. I don't think it takes a genuis to figure out thats its better to be where the TD's gun isnt facing (Reffer to my first diagram ^^^^). Also i don't think i need to say that you have a better chance of Penning' his sides and rear then his front :P. Seriously when i'm in my jagtiger and a little pesky scout / medium gets behind me and im in the open i litteraly just give up, No matter how hard the TD tried they will never get their gun round to you (Unless you have rocks or buildings blocking you from doing a full 360 degree carousel of death, Then its all possible they can kill you.
Just whatever you do, don't sit infront of a TD,
The best way i can put it is the TD is a Ferret trainer, and you are a ferret..... sort of like this
(except your actually dead)

Part 4 - Make a topic about how OP TD's are in the forums ! (pffstftststftstf i think they'll fall for it ! :D)
Yeah no don't...... please.......... don't................., Many people think this is the best way to counteract TD's (That being by getting them Nerfed). It was once said, And as i quote 
"Stop whining about TD's being OP and learn how to fight them" - Miley Cyrus

Remember, Only silly people think TD's are OP
Afterall, Artillery is the real OP menace here ! (COMPLETELY JOKING, calm down guys !, I am joking !)


Other than what iv'e already said, the other stuff to fight TD's is just very very very basic common sense. (I.e shoot him back, or .... shoot his weak armor) stuff like that. Whilst everything iv'e said kind of sounds jokey it's true stuff. (This guide was never intended for experienced players, It was made for newer players just to grasp the basics. But if you are an older player and i made you giggle then mission complete !


Haha, Thank you Jack Black !. No but seriously i hoped some of you found this review helpful if not comedic,

Stay safe and happy hunting everyone !
