This reminds me of the episode with Saunders, what is it with schools sending their flag tanks off alone somewhere? I'm somewhat excited by this result as it segues nicely into a Season 2 .. but the absolutely abysmal tactics shown in this series since the very first battle and every battle since kinda irks me. It's definitely a show about girls and tanks .. but not warfare or tactics! Everyone's tactics are bad! Everyone!
Well, there are two choices with a flag tank. You can hide it somewhere, either alone or with a thin escort and hope the enemy doesn't see it before you find theirs. Or you can put it inside your main formation and risk a lucky hit.

According to TVTropes, supposedly they once considered something similar to a flag tank mode for WoT called escort with effectively 3 flag tanks. Even the test players couldn't protect them. The natural conclusion is that if you are going to get into flag tank matches, your best move is to hide the flag tank somehow.

Physics Note:
1) Armor is not powerful but the carbon behind it is
2) When trying to aim, everyone spins around in a circle 20 times before shooting!
2a) This is only not true when people are shown on screen dramatically aiming, then those shots are 100% accurate
And 3) There is a positive correlation between the invulnerability of the target and the hit rate!

You have to remember, though,

Spoiler for that those tanks:
