1. behind hedges- there will be "gaps" for you to shoot through, for example, in luttich, near farm, the area I marked could station a tank and watch for any incoming stuffs, usually your enemy would never see who's shooting at them.
In totalize this could also be exploited by the defending germans, tanks hiding behind hedges could shoot through the small "window" of each row of hedges, a stug positioned like that could be very difficult to be taken out except by air.
This method could be used extensively in goodwood, an evil method!
2. behind a big piece of rock/slope/wall- it is the more practical method of camping in the desert maps, when you only show your turret your enemies can't really hit you that easily.
3. hiding behind vegetations- similar to 1, since freelook is "higher" than your gunsight and your tank, so, you can watch your enemies behind the vegetations without the chance of being discovered, simply drive out and shoot your enemy when you sight one, if your skills are good enough, maybe you just shoot through the vegetations. The marders, though weak in armour, could employ this method effectively since the gun is high.
4. freelook glitch sniping- nothing special, maybe just an exploit instead of a method. Not recommended.
something you need to pay attention when camping is your engine noise, which would reveal your presence to nearby enemy infantries, not a really good idea to camp in normandy without securing the flanks.
also, when your enemy don't see you when his turret is pointing at your camping place with "uncertainty", don't fire at him yet unless you are confident to take him out with that shot ;)
it'd be a good idea (quite gamey though), to switch to the passenger seats and hear for enemy engine noises, everyone want to flank that camping bastard, so you won't have a heart attack when your tank is suddenly blown up :P

some fundamental tips these are, but nevertheless I want to show these as I don't play much now and won't worried of getting owned by campers.

With advice like this, I really dont need to worry to run out of juicy tanks to toast with zooka, piat, schreck, faust or even satchel.
but yes. You are somewhat safer from enemy tanks.
Keep em coming ! ;D

black dot : good spot
green dot: also good spot
bleuis dot: nice spot

black line = the line to follow if you want to get to black dot
green line = same as black but you get to green dot
and bleuis line= same as green and black but you get to bleuis dot

camping a lot is bad because ur going to end up with an AT up ur ass.
-
Bring a StuG with you. Low silhouette, and a big enough gun.
-
Luttich is the worst place to camp for tankers... very few spots are really AT-free.
-
Yes, stopping and listening (alternate tank seat position) is a must on the Normany maps: where you have vegetation and other cover. It's easy to do, even with simple two speaker earphones and all channel turned on with a good soundcard (i.e. XFI).

I think the general best advice for tankers 'on map locations' is ..
BE UNPREDICTABLE
Thats all that really matters. Periodically being in 'choke points'can be interesting, but sooner or later you will be caught. So switch places once you have killed of the same people twice, or temporarely switch locations to give the false impression you really switched locations. (my fav tactic 8) )

In my opinion, camping with Tanks is rather stupid. Camping is "ok" with STUG or Stuka zu Fuß, because you need tot get a good aim in lack of a turnable Turret. Imo, a camping tank is easy prey for AT troops on nearly every map and wasted potential.
Especially on Lüttich, Tankers have to fear every hedge, bush or stone, because AT troopers are in the better position.

hehe and on Luttich beware of the mighty JEEPERS :D
Willys+Beaufort+Me+Zookas= Dead kitties ;D

Abused it since 2.2 released :P
And Luttich is becomming the most comfortable map for my panther,either by camping or moving and killing

Luttich
Even a regular sherman can become a killer on this map.
This map is not really much in terms of THE tank
This is a map in wich it matters WHO drives it.
