I bot frequently with my 38H (aka the micro-maus) and it is an absolute beast on low-tiers with the bot. The vehicle (which is botting 80% of the time) has it's own win/lose ratio of 46%, which is really good for a bot. I also use the T-18, but it's not nearly as good. Going to try the T-60 soon to see how that is. I've found that high-armor, low-tier vehicles botting attracts almost ZERO attention, since it's filled with noobs anyways, and your bot FREQUENTLY does better than most players. I've seen my 38H rack up 5 kills in one game, and 3 kills + is happens fairly often.
Highest tier I let bot is the TOG and it is rather shit at it, good for nothing besides being a damage sponge and maybe getting a few rounds off before dying. The Prem Churchill is great and so is the T-14. The British TDs like the AT-2 also make for great botters.
Basic rule of thumb for me is stay low-tier, have monster armor, and have a rapid-fire and accurate gun. This way I can bot for long hours while still attracting minimal attention. Meanwhile some of my crews are getting trained for other tanks and I make a hefty profit on the side.
The new Tankleader 2 beta by the way, makes these low-tier iron nuggets even more beastly, as they can aim their hull. Steel walls everywhere.
