Grille 15 - 11k Damage - World of Tanks

Send your replays: toptierreplays@gmail.com Top Tier Replays - World of Tanks Grille 15 is a German tier 10 tank destroyer.

In the summer of 1942, Waffenamt (the German Army Weapon Agency) concluded an agreement with the Krupp and Rheinmetall companies for designing a tank destroyer on the chassis of the Panther tank. It was planned to mount either the 128-mm K 43 gun or the 150-mm sFH 43 howitzer. The projects were designated Grille 12 and Grille 15, featured rear placement of the fighting compartment, and differed only in the artillery system type. Later, the Grille 15 received a 150-mm gun with a length of 63 calibers, which could penetrate 200 mm of armor at 4,000 meters. However, development was slow, and the Grille 15 remained only in blueprints.

The final development of its tank destroyer tech tree, the Grille 15 is a far more reasonable conclusion to its respective branch's play-style than the enormous, hulking, DPM burst-damage monster known as the Waffenträger auf E 100, which the Grille 15 replaced as the Tier X tank destroyer. Upon entering the fray, the Grille 15 was unsurprisingly met with a polarizing reaction from the community. Some players praised the new vehicle's dynamics and characteristics as much more familiar to what they were accustomed to with the previous vehicles of the branch. Others were simply relieved that they would no longer have to face the overwhelming, unbalanced firepower of the WT auf E100 on the battlefield. And the rest cried out in disappointment, having lost their team-slaying behemoth TD and received a much weaker, albeit much more sensible, vehicle in return.

However, even though the Grille 15 is nowhere near the "lane-crushing machine" status of the Waffenträger auf E 100, it is a more than capable Tier X tank destroyer with its own unique set of skills. The obvious first aspect of the Grille 15 is the extremely long-barreled 15cm gun for which the vehicle is named. It is the most accurate and fastest aiming gun in the game and on top of that, it fires highly damaging AP shells with ludicrous velocity. This makes the Grille 15 the undisputed, best sniper tank in the game. Keep in mind, however, that this amazing accuracy is only available when the vehicle is stationary, because the reticle bloom while on the move is gigantic and heavily negates the gun's amazing aim-time. And on the topic of moving, this tank can reach extremely high speeds and re-position effortlessly should the need arise.

The armor of the Grille 15 is a completely different story. In such that it is almost nonexistent, making the fact that, if this tank draws the bulk of the enemy attention and comes under heavy fire, then it will almost certainly not survive long. Play this tank as a concealed sniper or as a fire support vehicle to heavily armored teammates who can protect your tank. That way the Grille 15 can do its job best and take apart enemy vehicles with its exceptional gun.

The Grille 15 marks the end of its German tank destroyer line.

Pros and Cons
Pros:

Most accurate gun in the game with absolutely amazing aimtime
Absolutely ridiculous shell velocity, with AP, further improves already amazing sniping capabilities
Very high top speed and power to weight ratio
750 Alpha with decent reload
Good gun depression and has pseudo-turret

Cons:

Armor is totally useless, HE shells will pen, also lowest HP in its tier
Very poor accuracy when moving
Gun gets often damaged, engine is located on front
Rather low penetration on both AP and HEAT rounds for tier 10 TD
Camouflage isnt as good as on earlier tanks

Performance
The Grille 15 was introduced in Patch 9.15 to replace the Waffentrager auf E100. The tank performs like an E25 with a high alpha gun and worse camo than the WT Pz. IV. It can run around the map going 55-60 kph which allows it to easily relocate after shooting to make up for its average camo values. Its accurate gun with fast aim time makes snap shooting very easy. A big threat is being circled; it may be fast but its traverse is subpar and you can easily be killed by heavies who out traverse you. You need to use your speed to stay safe and your gun to keep enemies at bay.
