Get in a high tier battle so there's plenty of HP around

Get a good spotting map, in this case Go-camp-in-a-bushorovka south spawn

Have only one light tank on the team, an AMX 1375 that spends all their time surfing the mid ridge

Sneak into the usual bush on the 1 line

Have a Jagdtiger and ISU- 152 behind you that know what they are doing

Let binos engage, out spot the AMX and sit back while you spot the enemy blundering down the 2 line bushes getting farmed

8.5k assisted damage damage plus a whole 236 from the one penetrating shot I got

Loads of missions completed and pleasantly surprised it was enough for an ace tanker

So...technically, you could've got it without firing a single shot, too.

 

GG!

[wAr_God_11]

gg, but why did u took that shot though

[aleksot]

Nice, but i run super helcat on optics, rammer and idk if its cammo net, but not for passive scouting, but to be unspotted after shot. It can do easy 2 k damage game while spoting for team at the same time.

Absolutely but hindsight is 20x20 and when I did shoot I made sure I was double bushed.

 I spotted the KV-122 and backed up enough to be double bushed so I remained unspotted. It was only at the end of the game I pushed up a little to far and was spotted and killed but I still got some assisted damage after I was killed.

 I use Improved Rotation Mechanism in the firepower slot. It makes a big difference to vehicle mobility, turret rotation and gun handling. The reload time is over 5 secs so I use gun rammer. Then, as I may have to do my own spotting late battle, usually from cover, I run binocs. If it was a medium tank I'd be running optics

 

Edit: Actually I've stopped using camo net on my TDs because of a tip from Quickybaby: if you are using bushes properly you don't really need one. It actually works and frees up an equipment slot for the IRM.

What about Improved Aiming for the Firepower slot? It should reduce dispersion down to 0,31m, making it a lot easier to hit what you're aiming for even from longer distances, although you lose out on the traverse and aiming circle improvements Improved Rotation gives you.

Rammer, optics and improved turret rotation/binocs to super hellcat

 

Good Job, now you realize that hellcats arent tds, they are big light tanks.

Camo net is giving you advantage of shooting at distace without being spoted. Wth optics i can spot enemy for team and do instatly shot  at 350+m. If distance is closer, then bush mechanics should be used. Easiest 3 marks i had.

Didn't I see this battle on some youtubers channel the other day?

 I remember the one you mean. I think Claus Kellerman featured it. Yes the player did more or less the same as I did but it wasn't me. I didn't record it. Just took a snapshot of the end plates.

 

BTW that battle got me to 64% of 1st MOE. Couple of battles later I got 1st MOE on the Super Hellcat.
