Now, so long as you have positioned your tank correctly (commonly known as Angling) you will 'bounce' or ricochet pretty much everything they can throw at you. Let's take the Tiger Tank, for example, you could be parked up on the battlefield in your German Tiger at a nice range away from a few enemy Shermans armed with the classic 75mm gun. This 8vs8 mode essentially pits your squadron head to head with another squadron for what can usually be a very intense and competitive battle, especially given that all the results are tracked and players will be keen to see their squad make their way up the leaderboard in hopes of being the games #1 Squadron! Doing so unlocks a few extra cool features such as being able to research a few qute rare high-end vehicles and access to a pretty cool 8vs8 PvP mode. Last but by no means least, you can also join player Squadrons, which most players would probably associate as like a 'Clan'. You can also do this as a solo player by enabling “Automatic Squads” if you wish, and it will squad you up with 1 other random person so you both get the benefits of being in a squad without having to get your friends to jump on! But generally speaking, it's more fun when played cooperatively with people, and not just against them.

You also get bonuses for playing together in a squad with proximity type assists and “Best Squad” rewards which will boost how much in game currency you earn each game.
