So you want to play a TD and be really good eh?

As a TD Stealth is your strongest weapon
There are times when I'm driving by and getting shot over and over again by a unseen player. Think wtf man this is probably a hacker. Think again its probably a TD in stealth.
A tank destroyer shouldn’t be driven like a tank. Exploit your strengths and know your weaknesses every TD has different ones
Here are some weaknesses that most TD' s have:
Their turretless design means they lack the maneuverability needed when attacking. Because tanks have turrets that can swivel 360 degrees, they have the maneuverability to attack all around them – an essential advantage when attacking.
They are slow, and clumsy compared to tanks.
Tank destroyer's need to turn its body in order to attack. This makes them very clumsy attackers.Tank destroyers have good frontal protection. Their frontal armor is relatively thick and their sloped design gives them good chances to bounce front shots.
The sides and rear are generally more vulnerable compared to tanks. Because the sides and rear are often exposed when attacking, this places tank destroyers at a disadvantage when attacking.
Tank destroyers have lower hit points.
Tank destroyers are excellent defenders
Due to their number one strength stealth. Their low bodies makes them very difficult to spot and if used well, they can shoot at the enemy while remaining unseen
They have bigger guns compared to tanks of their same tier. This is another big advantage of tank destroyers. A humble Hetzer that sits at tier IV has a gun big enough to take out a Tiger (tier VII). Try doing that with a tier IV tank such as Panzer III or Leopard, and you’ll see its just impossible to even dent a Tiger.
