I are confused. So...the OP is suggesting that using cover is a bad thing? Leeroy...is that you?
No what he is suggesting is that peeking round a corner firing once then taking 4 shots in return whilst being blocked by allies is bad.
He is also saying being fixated on "that" spot whilst enemy team is flanking and getting ready to surround and murder you is bad.
An example from a match I had in WoT many months ago:
Two heavy tanks proceed to the infamous fail corner on a particular map. They proceed to peek out from the edge pinning enemy tanks behind hard cover and taking hits broadside.
Me and my mate in our ISU152s (with 152mm derp guns that hit for around 800 damage a shot-about 80% of a heavy tank's TOTAL hp) are sat at an angle where of enemy come round the corner we can obliterate them in one salvo. We ask the two heavy tanks to pull back and take an ambush position and we'll smash them as they advance.
One heavy said: "why?" The other said "stop camping noobs."
Both heavy tank players died. We got overrun in the end.
This kind of gross stupidity happens in every match of MWO. People just HAVE to peek.
