I've got 4 of them 
I <think> they're easier to achieve at 7-8; I've 1 in the GW Panther, 1 in the SU-14-1, 1 in the SU-14-2 and 1 in the FV207.
I think higher up, people become more arty aware and try hard not to bunch.
By my estimations, the best SPG in the game for it is the S-51 or the SU-14-1 at tier 7. You get that big 203mm gun and can get into matches with tier 5s - just shoot the premium HE round as it boosts the splash radius from 6.07m to 8.49m. The Americans are good for it too as they get big bore guns early on, and the lower tier the targets the more chance of completely overwhelming them with a huge blast. Trying for a Bombardier in the CGC is tough because of the terribly ROF - I see plenty of chances for them come and go while I'm reloading, but then I'm loaded and looking for the shot, I end up pulling away from a risky shot on two heavily damaged tanks because I know I can hit an E-100 for 1400 assured damage, which is more useful in the effort to win.I <think> they're easier to achieve at 7-8; I've 1 in the GW Panther, 1 in the SU-14-1, 1 in the SU-14-2 and 1 in the FV207.

Truly, we must pray to the goddess of RNGenus for reward. I fired at a T110E5 last night, only for the shot to stop dead a few metres short and the splash hit the T110E5 - I'd gone right through the side of an unspotted M46 Patton, killing him and passing 600 damage onto the T110E5.
No doubt I've left a few players feeling a bit salty since I brought the CGC out again. Just waiting on Z06George to play through the M53/55 and get the (arguably inferior, sort of) T92 for SPG doom platooning.

I think that's the first time I've seen "best" and "S-51" in the same sentence since the great arty nerf! Used to be my favourite arty but the tiny aiming arc combined with a slow aim makes in unplayable to me, unless you just aim at one spot and hope something moves into it...<snip>
I'm convinced that I'm close to a MoE on the CGC now, more successful games tonight, I can feel myself getting better and better in it. My first shot of the night was a one-shot on an Object 263 for 1900 damage, a soft target with it's open top and tin can sides, later in the night I nailed an Object 268 for all of his 1950 health. No hate mail tonight though, a slow one.
I'm only about 12,000xp away from unlocking the S-51 too, I may well pick that up for a laugh - though the grind to the 203mm gun looks pretty brutal, having watched a platoon-mate struggle for 20,000xp or so, then free xp the rest.

All I hear is more players for Armoured Warfare.
They had their fun when I was grinding through the utter s
t to get to the CGC, now the tables are turned. We all get slapped down by arty now and then, the better of us less than others. Sometimes though, there really is just nothing you can do about it except get in your tier X arty and dish it out for a while.George, the T29 is wild and will tie in with the crap Chinese mediums and tier 7 Russian arty me and Rich are grinding. I really need to get back to work on the tier 6 French arty but by the time I've got my MoE on the CGC and put some hours into the Type 58 I'll probably have the top gun for the Type 61, so I'll end up converting that into an STB-1. The Japanese tier X medium is the main goal, but I've got a few sub-grinds running.
The T29 is a total beast once it's fully upgraded, that 105mm gun is ridiculous for a tier 7 and the turret armour is incredible. Once you learn to play it hull-down it's a total monster. Don't be afraid to sling that APCR either, it will butter the front of a Tiger II pretty much no matter how he angles.

t29 is great, if you have he 90 to start with especially.
I do indeed from the TD line. I imagine it would be a bit of a pain to play with the stock gun.I'm having great difficulty completing the last of the T28 HTC missions.
The final medium one is to cause 2000 damage to TDs. A lot more difficult than it sounds!
I also have light tank 14 and 15 left. Light tank 14 is to spot and enable 3000 damage. That's difficult too.
On the plus side I've been very much enjoying the O-Ni. Loads of players have no idea how to pen it from the front so you can just push forward and bounce loads and loads of shots and tie up the enemy. It has a pretty good gun too.

I've just done LT14 in my amx elc on campinovka 3900 spotting and 1600 damage. Its just a matter of the right map and the right team and sensible passive spotting.The final medium one is to cause 2000 damage to TDs. A lot more difficult than it sounds!

The medium one I just kept trying high tier games. Waffentragers have loads of hp and no armour so if you can snipe at a few of those...
Aaaarrrgh! Was in a platoon with two of my clan. Two of us in AMX13-75s and 1 in an S51.
I caused 2100 assisted damage, and the other AMX did 850. Bloody hell!
Did similar when I took my Bulldog with binos and coated optics too. Balls!
On the plus side, it doesn't half bump you up the team at the end when you get a lot of assisted damage.

So the target is 3000 spotting damage, what I'd do personally is use a French light as they have incredible camo values and pick the highest tier you can. Tier 8 is best as it will see a load of tier 10 (so will the tier 7 for that matter) and with those big tier 10 tanks, 3000 damage is nothing when you consider the average health on the battlefield is about 2000 per tanks, and TDs are doing 750-1000 damage a shot. I'd run binoculars, camo net and probably a GLD - vert stabs if you can but I'm not sure if they'll be available, but basically I'd just park up in a bush with a good view and do passive scouting to the max. Don't fire your gun unless it is to save your life. Some good spots are the hill at F7 on Malinovka, The hilltop and G9 and the bushes at E1 on Prokhorovka or you can run the mid-ridge if you're fast and don't get greedy, last of all the cliff edge at G8 on El Halluf is very strong. Alternatively, if you spawn south on El Halluf, bomb down the hill and peek over the ridge leading up to the town at F6 to look at the enemy in the north.

I'd drop coated optics because really you should just be sitting still in a bush and not moving. Get that camo net and the binocs running and just let the damage pour in.
Scouting can be hard in World of Corridors, as so many of the maps are tiresomely designed to force the two teams into head on smashes. Getting 3000 spotting damage is nothing special though, it just needs the right tank, the right mindset and most importantly the right map and team. The last two are pure luck though, so just keep grinding.

Yes, I didn't realise the camo co-efficient of French lights was so good until last night.I'd drop coated optics because really you should just be sitting still in a bush and not moving. Get that camo net and the binocs running and just let the damage pour in.

A real problem is my crew don't have sixth sense but I'll stick with them. I think I'll try the ELC and the 13-75 for a few nights and see how I get on.
Hopefully it will come sooner rather than later!
The ELC is the stealthiest light tank of all, but it has a crappy 300m range radio, making it a poor scout.
The 12t, 13 75 and 13 90 can all use a 750m range radio. Their view range is better too. While they're not quite as super stealthy as the ELC, they all have the same camo value, which is the best at their respective tiers.
I managed to get 3000+ spotting/tracking damage yesterday in a tier 9 game on Redshire.
Unfortunately it was with the IS heavy tank, which is as blind as a bat. Go figure.
