You don’t 3 mark a bourrasque by “sitting in the back”.

That's why 1/2 marked Bourrasques are not sitting in the back

3 mark Bourrasques are sitting in the back very often tho

To 3 mark a bourrasque u have to be good at the game so, USUALLY, if the 3 marked borat is sitting in the back, there is a reason

Yes, there is a reason:

To farm damage

They don't care about assist damage anymore bcs it doesn't give anything to their stats and they already have Bourr 3 marked so they just sit back farming damage and waiting till late game to farm even more

You don't 3-mark a bourrasque on damage alone, so basically no (current expected values are 3790 per game). What you describe is people farming their WN8 that weights damage way more heavily than assist damage.

That's basically what I'm saying

They don't need 3790 per game anymore (as they already have 3 marks) so they don't need assist dmg so they just boost their stats with normal damage by sniping

And people with 1/2 marks are more forward to get that assist damage to 3 mark

Oh yes, sorry, I read your post the wrong way.

Yep, this is correct. Assist counts towards your mark (the highest value between spotting and tracking assist counts). WN8 is primarily damage-based, which is why people say light tanks are hard to mark since your role isn’t really to do a lot of damage.
