I backflipped it on one of the little hills and it landed back on its tracks lol. It was a moment when I looked up in the corner and about shot myself when there wasn't a little red 'R' there lol

Oh yeah I'm loving it too! Last night we where charging a group of 4 M18s full speed trough the forest to overwelm a king tiger behind a hill. It really felt great... until we all got slaughtered by some hidden tank nearby. King tiger survived but what the heck, it was fun!  :rock
I say its worth the little 1 perk you have to spend because there is usually another M18 on the opposing side you can easily kill to repay your money  :devil

I had a fun engagement with a Tiger 1. I saw him moving up a flank at the 135 spawn, so I took the scenic route and got behind him. He had no idea I was there. I shot one round into him (while still moving) which destroyed his gun. I then shot him in the side while driving past, shot him in the front, then shot him in the rear again. He wasn't able to follow me with his turret. Unfortunately my shots didn't kill him, and I had to bug out as he had a friendly Hellcat coming to help, but I dare say the M18 is superior than the tiger in some situations, particularly in GV battles that take place in larger, wooded terrain.

A Tiger only has one thing working against it vs the M18: turret traverse.  When in a Tiger and you see that M18 racing to your flank, forget trying to traverse the turret. This is where the true pivot capability comes in to play: pivoting that Tiger to keep the front hull towards the M18 and to get your gun on him faster is going to be key.  Also, and I will remind people of this next tip as often as I am able, I HIGHLY suggest not taking %100 AP in a tank, especially in a Tiger.  Why??? Because HE will be more effective vs the M18 than AP and here is why: you do not have to hit the M18 with HE to disable it, it only has 13mm of armor anywhere on its hull and HE will punch right through it with a near miss and disable it via throwing a track or damaging the engine, or even destroying it outright.  Firing HE at an M18, moving or still, will be more effective than AP.  Mark my word.

I was so disappointed last night when Bar321 killed me four times while I was in an M-18.

He was in a Tiger 2.
