Yes. If you build and operate a TD properly, it can compete against
anything else. One advantage of a TD is that it forces you to keep the
front of the vehicle pointed towards the opposition. One disadvantage
is that it can't easily "track" vehicles at long range moving across the
field. That can be offset somewhat by building a "pivot" mechanism for
the gun, which allows you to accurate shoot stationary targets at a
distance. When targets come in closer, pivoting the vehicle is faster
and maintains your defensive posture, so there is no difference between
a TD and turreted tank in short range engagements.

A TD would have a completely different playstyle than a turreted
tank but is it practical with smaller, faster tanks on the field?
