Well, no US TD is really armored until you get to Tier 8, after which they just get more and more ridiculous (just look at the T95).
The Jackson is basically a bigger Wolverine with a better gun and more reliable armor. Angling helps bounce shots from the front, but sometimes it's just dumb luck. Compared to the Hellcat, it is slower but has better acceleration, turns a bit faster and carries more ammo.
I have both.
In encouter, Jackson is better because it "dings" more shells.
If Regular Combat, Hellcat has the lead because it reaches to the chokepoints fast, halting the enemy advance and allowing friendly heavy tanks to arrive.
IF your teammates brain isn't made of Lemmings porridge....
I dont play Assault since they're full of shit so i have no clue who is best there.
Hellcat would be attacked and Jackson the defender.
But Hellcat will die there pretty quick I guess...

I always used tank destroyers as ambushers and long range support, Hellcat included. Its speed was useful to quickly get into position or rush back to base to decap (same with the M8A1 and T49). Anyway, I'm 11k from unlocking the T25 AT, let's hope the 105mm boomstick will be worth the effort, I would like to avoid another painful experience like the one with the T25/2.

If you played the T29 the 105mm will already be familiar to you. The AT variant of the gun is literally a clone of it with better acc dispersion and rof.
Also, I only ever have standard mode on these days, pubs rarely have the teamwork necessary to accomplish standard mode, much less assault or encounter
also got that mission done. Still hate the at2, T1 heavy is still hit or miss, and t34 suffers from the same horrid acc and aim time shared by all tier 5 meds.

I got the t69.
Not bad at all, Grinded it bone stock to almost elited out.
Its reload is way faster than I thought it would be even with a 75% loader. I expected some kind of bad delay. Way better than french autoloaders.

iirc the french trade reload for clip size. The americans do win out in terms of flexibility and gun depression/elevation for their autoloaders though.

AT 2 Sucks. You must know how to angle it and always worry about the commander cupola since its full of shit.
Gun selection is crap but i recommend howitzer because of its shell arc and HE will do damage.
If you want to see the point, check the begging where i take out SU-85B.
Here is replay file.
Spoiler:
Overall its a good thing, but you need to get used to it.
Also, if you fight tier 7, your ass is on fire.

Americans = epic comfort in combat.
French = strung out stressed in combat while high on coffee.

So yesterday I unlocked the T25 AT and played a bit (currently grinding to get the upgraded tracks, then I'll need the 105mm cannon). So far I must admit that it's not a bad tank, a bit tricky since I never used turretless tank destroyers, but still adequate for the job.

adapt and survive pihip.
At least youre not using ARL V39.
You need to spend money on Torsion springs in order to mount a better cannon, otherwie youre stuck with short 75mm, stock gun with Somua SAu 40.
And it sucks. So bad.

I wasn't complaining, in fact the stock tracks have enough weight capacity to carry the improved 90mm, the radio, the engine and all three equipment. That said, it's still true that the 90mm is inadequate for its tier, unless they're same-tier tanks or have shitty armor.

True, though to be honest, aiming at "softer" parts of a tank - sides and rear mostly - is much easier than exploiting weakspots (for example, yesterday I penned a Ferdinand from the front three times before he wrecked me, and only because he was showing the lower front plate of his tank). Speaking of weakspots though, I'm a bit disappointed that the T28 has the same problem as the AT series - the cupola is big enough to be hit from a distance, provided your gun is accurate enough. Oh well, good thing that T28s are rare in the EU server, and that many still don't know how to pen them from the front.

Spoiler:
The cupola is like inviting for getting shot.
Like French tank "Tumors".
But most of them are too stupid to aim there though.

Was matchmaked with a unicum player Named ducboy with 10k games and in the 3 games we played he just suicided in his t110e5 at the start. When I called him out for it the 3rd time I was mm'd with him he shot me and proceeded to suicide, yet the rest of the team saw no problem with that.
I think I've found what time of day to not play WoT.

If you read the wot forums you will find out that he's being a baddie on purpose, because he got tired of being a unicum and decided to start playing 4 funz. He now have fun watching bads cry about ducboy not carrying their lazy ass.

I thought this shit happened only in low-tier matches (or when the random light started shooting at allies and got fragged), but in Tier 10 battles as well? :V

I guess such will be the life of a solo pubber. Just had an unlucky streak meeting him 3 times in one night. Just trying to improve myself in the game at this point til I can join some of the bigger clans and do clan wars.
