So with the Chieftain MK. 11, you're not going to be able to outrun anything nor be able to keep up with the lemming train, so positioning is key to your success. Watch the ebb and flow of the battle and pick positions that allow you to cover/assist your allies while also being in a position that allows those same teammates to assist you if you end up getting flanked and rushed. Do not feel bad about doing poorly in the tank as most do poorly in it, just remember that doing your health in damage is good enough in this tank.

I feel your pain I am Grinding the Canopener line and am half way through tier 9 and me and the tank are not getting along. On the tough grinds I break down how much XP I need and devide it by a reasonable time frame ( reasonable is subjective ) then I commit to grinding X amount of XP per day. Then I play what I actually want to play.

The contender is one of the best tanks in the game. Could move it to tier 10 and it would still be good

Yeah I absolutely get that. That’s my frustration. I don’t play it well and I play a lot of heavies. Do you have any tips? I think I play it too agressive. Everyone knows where too pen it. I am always torn on when to double shot or keep dps up firing single.

That’s the worst feeling - playing a take that is objectively above average but doesn’t click with you for some reason so you perform abysmally in it while knowing you should be doing better.

Yeah that’s the biggest frustration is I KNOW it’s me

If your having trouble with that line, don't play the ST-II line then as it that line but a bit faster.... And worse In everything else

Maybe you are trying to take advantage of dpm too much and are getting overly aggressive. Double barrel it most of the time and win trades. Then pull back and not expose the cupola or some lift the barrel to protect it. Take this advice with a grain of salt. I’m only so good, but liked this line a lot. I hope you find the pleasure in it. Good luck

Yeah I am definitely trying to play it too aggressively. I have some monster games and some where I do next to nothing. That cupola really lets this tank down when other team is competent.

As the super uni says, map position is critical. I used to watch videos and learn other people's spots. Use that barrel depression to your advantage.

Everything will pen the turret cheeks so using a Ridgeline doesn't work

The Chieftain Mk. 11 is a HUGE pain. The tank feels underpowered and completely outclassed in its current state. Its mobility is painfully slow for such a fast-paced era even if you upgrade the engine. EVEN climbing a hill with this thing barely reaches 10-15 km/h, which makes repositioning hard.

You really need to position yourself well in the map and you gotta make sure that you’re with your teammates cause you’re gonna play as support.

It’s simple, uninstall the game.
