Wondering if anyone knows why the ISU-152 earns comparatively fewer xp than other tanks with less overall damage?

 

Been noticing it since I started playing it a week ago. Today in a tier 8 game on Redshire I placed fourth in xp with 2795 damage (no assist). I destroyed a Ferdinand, a Motherland, and a Fatherland. 5 shots. 5 hits. All tier 8s. 

 

A Fatherland on my team had 2401 damage total. 1591 hits (6 hits w/ 5 penetrations) and 810 assist.

 

He got 661 xp. I got 632xp?

 

I've noticed this in every game except those where I High Caliber or exceed the next highest player by a couple of thousand in damage?

If you're the only one who spotted the tank and did damage, you'd have more XP. Otherwise, you'd need to share the XP with other spotters as well.

Fatherland is a brawling tank which is likely to spot by himself whereas you might stay back sniping while someone else lighted the tanks for you.

Do you have binos or optics? ISU has crippling view range so without those you were probably shooting at enemies you couldn't have spotted yourself, then the teammates who spotted for you will share the exp from your damaging shots. 

 

IS-3 is more likely to damage enemies in front of his face so he didn't have to 'share' the exp.

Interesting. 2 kills came near end game. At one point just arty and me against 5. Pretty sure I was the only one facing down the Ferdinand and the Motherland. I do have binocs on, but end game the 152 becomes a brawler. Anyway...just asking. I'll just have to do twice the damage of others to get to the top of the board. No worries. Free XP to the BL-10 and can now drop most tier 9s. Get a bit of respect from tier 10s (except one guy who didn't get the memo, apparently). Thanks
