Is the Turm III a good grinder?
I've hit rank V already, so I won't be using it in a solo lineup. But is it worth it? Or should I straight up get the 2A4 CAN so I can grind to top tier with it?

Yeah I think its worth it, its super fun and kind of OP sometimes. Its definitely at a much more enjoyable BR than the 2A4

Although turm 3 is quite unique and fun, If I were you I'd go with leo 2a4 pzbt 123 so you can basically grind the same max br of vehicles from a lower br.
Leo's are copy paste so boring Turm 3 is Unique great fun recommend and easy to grind at that BR :VBCOOL:

-Also the BR that the Premium Leo's are at is unplayable with everyone spamming their own premiums it is the worst BR with the campers

Yes the Turm III is an extremely good premium: good shells, 5 sec reload, amazing mobility, 30mm coaxial autocannon.

Generally speaking, top tier premiums are a bad idea. Top tier gameplay is extremely cutthroat and reflex based. Grinding your way to there will make you a lot more ready to face that mess than jumping straight into that chaos. You will just suffer and be discouraged.

With all the praise here I want to throw in: They are not very armoured and everything with autocannons will punch through them with ease from my experience fighting them

You might be discouraged and quit, yes. Though there is also no room for building bad habits that are hard to let go off once you finally reach the deep end.

Turm III sits at a good BR for grinding, but that is because it is very forgiving in a good vehicle, which the Turm III is, and that combination is a recipe for building bad habits.

Not something that should stop you, but something you should be acutely aware of.

Honestly, best to decide what you actually want to play, what your lineup might look like, and then pick the right premium to complement it.

I have .50cal penned them previously. (don't ask me how, I haven't played that BR in months) They are very easy to kill. I think I only ever had any issues with them as opponents for the first 3-4 times I saw them on the battlefield, then they became juicy easy targets once I learned where to shoot.

The Turms III keeps its ammunition on one side of the thinly-armoured turret. A penetration there would result in the destruction of the tank. Adopting a hull-down position would still also mean that the turret is exposed.

p.s. I don't have it. As the previous fellow has said, they are easy to kill.

It sure has very thin armor and must be played pretty much like a light tank. But it's not like the Leopard I in the tech tree has that much armor to begin with. If you play it smart, it's a super dangerous flanker, ambusher and sniper. Just don't try to brawl against T-55s and you're going to be okay.

Its a glass canon with stab very good and fun at 8.3 plus you have strong lineup to go with it.

Turm 3 is fun only downside is out of my last 44 games as germany 8.3 only 3 were not 9.0 or 9.3 full uptiers.
