Driving KV-1S, KV-1 ZIS 5 and T-34-37 with most kills and assists. Pretty good start, being able to distract a lot of enemy tanks going for the all important B zone. Unfortunately we get sniped by a 88mm flak truck from across the river. Now when I'm driving one of those I always cringe at the sight of some KV-1s because they can withstand tons of damage. Even easy sideshots often end up being absorbed completely by the tracks. Well, I didn't get as lucky here. One hit and I'm toast. Due to the lag I failed to take out that T-34-57 where I already lined up the shot. You can even hear the sound of my cannon firing but the shot didn't register with the servers - too bad. Next up is the KV-1 ZIS-5. Better gun than the S variant but I think design and armor wise it's a step back. That 88mm that took me down didn't live long enough for me to get back to him but we manage to dispose of a different flak bus as the first kill with the ZIS-5. Really nice hull break here, ripping straight through the chassis. After some good long distance engagements we do have a nice flanking position for a while but I get some pressure and I have to move up and as it turns out it was too far after all. Things started to go haywire when I got hit by an assault plane that made me a sitting duck with destroyed tracks and barrel, the latter ruining a nice sideshot into one of the advancing Panzer IV F2s. That engagement with the Dicker Max was a bit hilarious as I absorb one of his shells without any significant damage. I couldn't make any use of it though because he went on and accomplished the same feat as I hit his barrel in return. Now I tried to get closer to him to make his follow up shot more difficult but enemy reinforcement ruined my day. The Dicker Max is pretty quick with the reload so I don't know if I would have been able to pull through without any further movement.
Last entry here is the T-34-57 and as you can see if you don't have a good angle I get a lot of deflections. The gun doesn't really have much oomph behind it. No way that I could have defeated that Jagdpanzer 38(t) head on so I had to disengage. Overall my team already had the upper hand right about when I lost my second tank so we just had to drive the game home so to speak. After some flanking kills with the speedy T-34-57 the enemy team runs out of vehicles and the game is over.
