** In recent patches, the dev team has been tweaking the AI so that they're not just cannon fodder for the players. Adding new spawn points, and adjusting the types of vehicles that spawn in the battles has made it slightly more difficult all-round for players to complete the missions. It's not surprising for players to be defeated in even medium-difficulty missions because of this. All of this does mean that if the players don't work together, they will lose.

* TooAwesomeToUse: Artillery in PvP is subject to being hit by the opposing artillery every time it fires an shell due to the class having ability that ferrets out other SPGs with sonar-like pings on the minimap. All it takes is three shots fired from an general area to fully reveal an SPG to their counterparts. But the previous two hints that the sonar provides are also accurate enough for an skilled player to deduce the location of the enemy team's SPGs, as well. So it boils down to this, either rain down an volley of high-explosive shells on the enemy front line and risk getting killed by the enemy artillery or fire an shot or two and relocate do an completely different area unless you'd killed off the enemy artillery. Either way, you're going to suffer by either impeding your team without your dedicated bombardment or yourself for giving your position away.

*** Although his skills are all but useless in most vehicles, he's actually a perfect fit for commanding Artillery Vehicles. The increased chance of module and crew damage on enemy vehicles hits well with SPGs if you can get a direct hit, and even failing that, it increases the chance that a splash hit will knock off the other guys tracks, making them an easier mark for your own team to take down.

Both Tank Destroyers can pump out a shell every 4-5 seconds, which can result in your commander calling out the effect on target almost as fast as they're calling out next shell going in the breach. They both however have paper for armor, but their small size, and powerful engines make them able to dodge incoming fire.

** The Fox AFV is known for the difficulty of controlling its extreme maneuverability, having a bad habit of spinning out if it hits a rock or bump in the path the wrong way while driving at near it's top speed of 105 km/h, and a slightly lower than average for an AFV camo rating. However, it packs the 2nd best view range of it's tier, sports a combination of a powerful 30mm Auto-cannon and 2-salvo Missile Launchers after upgrades to put out massive burst damage. And as mentioned above, it also drives extremely fast while sporting a small profile, making it a pain to even hit one after it builds up some speed. This means a player can rush ahead of their team, find a good area to spot most of the map from, and earn tons of spotting assist and designation credit, and once a gap is punched in the enemy's line, rush through it quickly, and begin flanking them from the rear.

** The Shishkin line of Light Tanks is filled with this. At Tier 3, you have the FV101 Scorpion, a fast 76mm howitzer carrying box of a light tank, with an effectively powerful HE shell, useful against the weaker armors in it's tier range. But with armor so thin it would be lucky to stop a Heavy Machine Gun round such as a .50 caliber/12.5mm round. Tier 4, players switch to the M551 Sheridan, which is decently armored for a LT, but much slower acceleration to the Scorpion, and a reload time comparable to the Self-Propelled Guns. Of course, that may have something to do with the fact that it mounts a 152mm gun that fires HE, HEAT, and ATGM munitions[[note]]Yes, that means there's a light tank mounting the same style of gun, as the KV-2 from ''World of Tanks'' and ''Warthunder'', but also able to fire an anti-tank guided missle[[/note]]. Then at Tier 5, the gameplay shifts ''again'' with the Begleitpanzer 57, which goes back to semi-fragile but decently fast LT armed with a 8-shot magazine 57mm auto-cannon. It may not put out huge numbers on each shot, but it has very good DPM. And unlike the Sheridan, the Begleitpanzer can swap to it's ATGM while the main gun reloads, and fire a shot off from that.

** [=ATGMs=] which lack their own separate launcher and thus are fired from the Main gun barrels, such as on the Starship and Sheridan tanks. Immensely powerful damage, and armor penetration values, but their slow travel speed and increased reload time, combined with the need for the player to keep their tank immobile while using them hardly outweighs the advantage of faster firing HEAT shells. Since the player can't quickly swap to a seperate launcher system while the shells are being reloaded, that means swapping the standard shell for a missile is considered a normal ammo swap reload. The ATGM on such tanks is best reserved as a last resort against extremely well armored fronts of an enemy MBT, or when out of regular shells.
** Likewise, [=AFVs=] which have the option to completely replace their auto-cannon for ATGM launchers. An AFV is generally designed to be a fast, highly mobile vehicle, which only ever stay in place when flanking completely unaware enemy tanks, and putting entire clips of shells into the enemy side and rear armor or when hidden by sufficient concealment to spot and mark targets, while taking a few shots before moving to a new position. The ATGM requires vehicles to stand complete still to fire and maintain aim, while having significantly long flight and reload times. Additionally, by Tier 6, most vehicles have some form of Shaped Charge munition resistance, be it composite armor, ERA and cage type spaced armor or APS.
** Commander Ioannis Sanna is considered something of a JokeCharacter by the community, as his skills heavily revolve around either causing enemy vehicles to catch fire, or his own vehicle being on fire. Even with his perk that boost the chance of inflicting the Fire status effect on enemy vehicles, it's extremely rare for it to happen. Even his ability to have increased damage inflicted to enemy vehicle modules and crew fails to make up for it, as other commanders have those perks and others that have less or easier to achieve activation conditions, like Freja.

But she does come with a variety of vision range, aim time, and stealth enhancing skills, making her the prime go to candidate for commanding Light Tanks, Armored Fighting Vehicles, and Tank Destroyers.
