All french and italian tier VIII tanks are mind bogglingly fast. 

To put it simply, run and gun,

Or in the wise words of donkster, junkman extraordinaire

Flank and spank, rinse, repeat. The frenchman says

hon hon hon nice derriere 

Yes. Thats in the most simple terms

french heavies: do not be shot at and unload during a window of opportunity. Hide that massive tank. Its fast. Use that to relocate and retreat.

french meds : its okay to take hits. Okay to brawl as a support tank, but beware of clip reload. Or just run, stop or circle depending on your target, aim, unload, run, and repeat

french lights : both wheelies and tracked is in this part. Wheelies can harass very well. use your speed and HE pen to devastate soft and slow targets. Tracked light can spot passively and actively. Use your clip only in self defence, to slow or track enemies, or to take kill shots.

italian autoreloaders : like the wise words of donkster, junkman extraordinaire, flank and spank is your namesake tactic. Take your brojetto/spaghetto, cripple opponents, circle as a autoloader and switch to a normal tank when needed. be flexible and take kill shots if it means to save an ally or yourself.

 

There you have it. Next guide will be on... British and american tanks!!

Awesome work. Probably should be pinned in the new player section.

Hello there Ezz,

I put it in game guides and tutorials since its technically in new players. This guide is targeted at ppl who just got a tier 8 in the FL meta. Or ppl who suck at FL to up their game and perform better leading to high profits and smoother games. And for people to use these base tactics to devise a large strategy.

 

Other than that thanks! I do research on my guides and i didnt think its that good.

Seconded! I'm really learning a lot from this, it's really helping me take my Lynx 6x6 gameplay up a step! I hope there will be a ocunterplay guide sometime too so I can learn how to deal with arty strikes and wheeled light tanks better!

To be fair it's well intentioned so I guess as good a place as any. As an aside given the op perhaps there could be a subsection for people transitioning from blitz to PC.

Sure will make a counter arty and counter wheelie guide after my frontline series is done with. 

Im gonna re-purchase my AMD and save blueprints to get the lynx for FL. I dont want to research any tier 10 except strv 103 b and the fv 4005. Apart from that, i research tier 8's for better games and FL.

 

Ezz i quit blitz from bankruptcy and every matchup (7v7) was 6 p43 bis and a kv2 versus 7 p43 bis. Plus really toxic players in general were there. I had a 1vs3 situation back in the day, and i got rushed. Slow reloads are sad and i was overpoered and killed. Had a player beg me to uninstall and stuff. Also ive played blitz on 3 accts since tier 4 could see tier VI tanks back in blitz (now cant) and since the hetzer and sherman had their 105 mm that has since been removed. The KV-1's derp is useless there as every shot deals 60 dmg.. And the ATGM made me uninstall. But i will try to make a guide to explain differences from here and there.

(I actually came to pc of general interest in arty and my first tier V was grille)
