Commanders!
Turretless American tank destroyers are known for two things: strong armor and high firepower. The VIII TS-5 was among the first in line when these traits were distributed. Therefore, it boasts armor that is hard to crack, especially at the front where it is 260 mm thick and a DPM that will be the final nail in the coffin of its opponents. Pick a route to the enemy base, preferably one that allows for favorable hull-down tactics, and roll out and over opponents to victory. They will have a hard time stopping you, while you hammer them into the ground.
