[@PilotTed]

What I like to do is take the IS-1 and move close to the front, turn it around, and reverse into the enemy. Its an amazing strategy as the rear armor is actually really good if your keep it angled and any penning rounds will mostly do nothing but destroy your transmission or engine, which allows you to fire back. It also kind of disguises what tank you are and confuses the enemy, making them take longer to shoot at you as they try to figure out what you are and where to shoot.

[@_spooT]

I actually put bushes at the rear or some of my tanks. It actually helps when theres a bush in front of you but your ass will remain exposed. Idk, it just makes me feel more secure and 80% of the time, i've been saved by it when there are people passing behind me and they don't even notice

Turned the is2 into an archer it’s even more confusing if it were the German tiger p or maus

[@sephirothbahamut245]

why would you ever do that with a maus?

[@sephirothbahamut245]

@Yuvaez there's no advantage in showing maus's back armor compared to frontal armor. The engine is on front, back is thinner, less sloped, and gives direct access to turret crew

[@Prenz01]

The maus turret is near the rear outing it forward would give the enemy a migraine out of confussion makeing any shell redundant and inaccurate

[@sephirothbahamut245]

@@Prenz01 you must be blind or stupid to not recognize the only tank in the game that has that size and turret just because its hull is rotated. The E100 is totally different on the hull as well. The only effect of going to battle in reverse with the maus is nullifying your armor advantage, which is the only advantage you have, and exposing your turret crew to being oneshot, which is normally harder.

[@abaj006]

I like Phly's Chivalry, he sees an enemy tank to his front, but must first turn backwards before firing, and then honourably bounces a shot, while taking out the enemy afterwards.

[@treysmith8917]

i got to see one of these up close in Massachusetts, it was recovered in Berlin, it was knocked out by two or three panzerfausts

[@Sfven]

About the bushes: The option to have six bushes was an option everyone had back when bushes were first introduced to the game. Anyone who bought them could have the six bushes. Gaijoodle figured out that is pretty OP so they changed how it works. However, to be fair to those who purchased the bushes when they were first in game, the people who bought them then get to keep their six bush capability. Now, anyone who doesn't already have them will never be able to get them. It wasn't an esport thing.
