British high tier Squadron tank options / Petition to NOT add T-90S to Britain

I just assume THICC 0-0

on the bright side we might not have a gaping big turret weakspot for once :)

he says over-optimistically lol

Just great big ammo rack weakspot to the left and right of the breach 😂 on second inspection the bustle weakspot is much tinier than I remember plus that long ass composite array is huge

I’m annoyed that the normal 105 isn’t tech tree, cause it really is a better TT vehicle.
So for now I’m still using Warrior for my lineups at top BR cause there’s no alternatives as versatile for my needs in a light vehicle.

Why is it better? They are exactly the same apart from turret shape and the MTTD has a auto loader to boot.

The warrior absolutely stinks

The warrior is like the beaten old dog at this point, we have needed new ifvs since 2020 and have not gotten them, but i am sure that Ratel 20 got the job locked down XD

The autoloader arguably makes it worse, as you get a giant ammo rack in the turret, along with one less crew man so if you get penned you just die. A well upgraded 105 has the same reload an extra guy and no massive turret ammo rack

Most importantly: MTTD does not have smoke grenades & DM33.

@nathanclawfish
I’d love a replacement for Warrior, but nothing has thermals, smoke grenades, and speed all at the same time in the tech tree right now.

I know, but gaijin has said they are working on it… as of like 3 to 4 years ago, which to me seems like a not working on it

the 105 also has a turret machine gun so you can chokeslam aa cars that rek the mttd

But you don’t need to worry about annoying reload mechanic being stopped if loader decides to take a sleep and such plus if you don’t need to worry about maxed loader skill with auto loader. Plus regardless of the ammo rack your a light tank that’s going to get bummed from any angle and likely die in one shot anyway.

I would love to see the Challenger 1 Flacon in-game, the vehicle is obviously very unique and could create a new playstyle for ones who main this vehicle. The issue though is the removal of the T-90S Bhishma, as a Britain main I’ll at the end of the day be bias to the glorious nation but the T-90S is something the nation REALLY needs at its current state.

And I’d prefer not to play the Challenger 2 every Ground match as well

If the loader is taking a sleep your still alive, if your penned by the mttd your just dead

The Bhishma doesn’t really do anything better than the Challengers as far as I’m concerned. It remains to be seen what’s planned for its ammo loadout, but it’s most likely going to be a 10.7 tank, which means that it won’t have a lineup and is a pretty middling tank anyway.

Its just another chally that now cant reverse and you have to uptier stuff or be uptiered to use it with anything ;)

It is certainly a interesting vehicle, the turret was designed and manufactured by Vickers but the armor itself was made by Engesa, do you know if they helped in other areas too?
Very unfortunate Engesa died shortly after and didn’t have the chance to do something even better.

yeah, we all foresee an increase in 1DL in the future from britain

The only part of the tank with an obvious footprint from Vickers is the turret. I think the hull was domestic but I unfortunately don’t really know the details of the tank that well.

The T-90S Bhishma if I’m not mistaken has a new Cast Turret which provides more protection over the T-90A (not sure on the numbers) and new Sights so I’d expect it to be 11.0 and not 10.7 but we’ll have to wait and see.

I personally don’t, cause Vickers Mk7 exists, and Chally Mk3 for the most part.
So you’ll have speed w/ turret, armor, and careful all in one lineup.

But you are still either taking 10.3s to backup an 10.7 or taking a 10.7 into 11.3.
