Wow I finally got all mods on this tank at the end of this game. I know it's a low BR one and singled by out each mod is not taking that much time to research but this tank put some hardship on me nonetheless. Mostly due to uptiering into 3.7 or even 4.0 (where the armor is not useful anymore) and the very weak 40mm gun.
Usually the enemy is pushing for the north zone much earlier and with substantial numbers but I guess they were all busy doing some other stuff elsewhere on the map. We get into some combat though but it's mostly a waiting game. I guess I could have just rushed in but better safe than sorry. It was or is very close to their spawn so some unpleasant surprise might attack your flank or rear. It might look a bit boring but through patience we had the situation under control and the enemies were dispatched. After this rather long period of staring each other down literary I had to shift up a gear or two and so I'm starting to go yolo here. As a result we are getting ourselves into some brawling with freshly spawned enemies down a steep pathway close to their staging areas. When I finally got rid of the first wave down there I had to go afk for a couple of seconds and of course I get attacked in the meantime - I guess with my prior actions I got on the bad side of some of those opposing team's players. Since we didn't get overtiered much (or not at all, I don't really remember to be honest) I'm still able to survive and get back to the perpetrator in due time. We don't have time to get back up the hill for some more action since the game comes to an end. We only manage to get 2nd place and no special awards but we didn't go down one time and still managed to get a decent score. Number one player lost three tanks over the course of the game - I prefer 2nd place with no losses to two more kills any day. Sometimes you can't avoid having to sacrifice some vehicles if you want to force a win or a better score but this is not one of those matches. My team was bringing this game home without breaking a sweat, too.
I guess it will be some time till I get back into the Matilda Mk II again. Solid shot rounds with the Brits are tough to play already but fired from just a 40mm gun in such a slow tank...oh my!
