What tier have you reached? So far, I made it to Tier 4.

Yeah, right now I have a mix of Tier 3's and 4's. I have a n M3 Stuart, an M5 Stuart, a French D2 (my best so far), an M3 Lee (pain in the butt to drive, easy to get ambushed, I prefer to snipe with that one), an M3 Stuart Russian Lend Lease version, and the first German tank destroyer. one thing I need to learn with the M5, it is so fast, I tend to rush and I get jumped quite a bit. :) One of my co-workers got me hooked and we do plan to platoon. I'd like to see a Wrong Planet platoon too as well as one other forum I hang out on, Free Republic.

the m3 lee is one of the hardest tanks to play, due to its high profile , less than ideal armor angles and lack of turret, for a medium tank it makes little sense.

just got the vk3002, its sloped armor makes small caliber shots pointless, as long as they dont use HE.

I know, basically as my friend told me, "use it as a tank destroyer." I tend to hold back with it and try my best to snipe from hills, where there is a lot of cover and so forth. When I get out in the open or into narrow valleys/towns, I get jumped and I can't fight back very well. The 75 it has is a good hitter, I just have to understand the limitations of the Lee. I like the M5 Stuart with the 7 on it but the downside is I get lumped into Tier 7's and 8's and many times I'm the weakest one. In that case, I just do my best to scout, many times I do not fire a shot, I let the others know where to shoot. If it looks dire or I think I can take 'em, I will fight.
