The top tier American medium is a tricky tank to play. Many people despise the tank while others enjoy it's perks. One can find it quite different from the other tier 10 mediums. Anyways, here are some of my tactics....
1) Work The Ridges --- American tanks are known for abnormally strong turrets with great gun dp. Use this to your advantage. Hide your lower plate in the ridge while popping up and down taking shots at the enemy. It'll also mostly hide your cowboy hat of a cupola.
2) Get In Their Face --- This is usually as only a last stand precaution but nevertheless, it is still effective. With your somewhat troll turret armor, face hugging tier 8,9, and even some tier 10s can be worthwhile. Wiggling your turret during reloads helps too. REMEMBER, DONT BUM RUSH AND HOPE THIS WILL WORK. PLAY SMART AND ONLY USE THIS IF YOU NEED TO.
3) Grind, Grind, and Grind --- This is really the only thing you can do when you get the tank but it is extremely underestimated. GET THE TOP GUN. This is fundamental in good M48 gameplay. Increased pen, better gun handling, and APCR as the standard round can really go a long way. If you feel discouraged by having to go grind through a stock tier 10, don't give up. The pay is so worth it.
Lastly, before I go, I like to show my preferred equipment
• Vertical Stabilizers
• Gun Rammer
• Gun Laying Drive or Toolbox
Hope you can take some of what you saw here today onto the battlefield. Have fun and happy tanking!! 07
