Fair enough. I definitely wouldn’t put the churchill 7 in the same category though. You can at least make that work in a downtier.
No. I struggled to get a positive K/D with it. Around 30-50% of all my kills with it were open tops killed by HE.
Who cares about K/D. It’s a heavy tank with a peashooter cannon, you aren’t really meant to be racking up kills.

Then you are useless to the team.
It is too slow, it is a CAS magnet, it has no reliable armor, pathetic gun…
Look at this:
With the Churchill 7 i somehow managed to get a near 2 K/D.
With the NA 75, that i played at BR 4.7 too, the K/D is more than double, with even less armor, and a bit better mobility.
The more than double K/D is due to a single aspect: It has APHE.
You can help your team win in more ways than getting kills. Especially in a heavy tank like the Churchill. Just drawing enemy fire is a benefit to your softer team mates.
Yeah that is the downside, but if you’re getting bombed by CAS it doesn’t really matter what tank you are in.

Some of you have implied that the challenger is better than the comet. I will very shortly get the Centurion and i am concidering giving it to my challenger crew, thus comet will become the back up. Then when that is spadded my comet crew will get the charioteer mk vii. Your thoughts please?
From 5.0 to 7.3 brits are one of the worst nations in the game. You have a small number of functional vehicles, but mostly you are playing underpowered tanks with no armor, solid shot, and nearly no advantage over the tanks you are fighting. To make it worse, your BR clusters have been broken up so you have to play with only 1 or 2 of your vehicles at the higher BR you are playing.
I guess britian got to strong for there own good and are over tird
Brits have never been considered a strong nation. Even back when they were the only nation with high teir stabs, they were still mediocre because of the power of ‘cheatfs’. Hesh got nerfed just before the IS6 came out and has never been functional since. The centurion mk3 went from 7.0 to now 8.0. The centurion mk1 and charioteer used to be 5.7. APDS has been nerfed numerous times and shell shatter was added and constantly messed around with until its happening constantly. At this point, its a joke.

Shoot centre mass, avoid modules and crew. On anything other then light tanks aim for a spot with space behind it most central to the crew layout. The cone can then form and will one shot tanks.
Any Cromwell hull has bad reverse so be careful in where you situate yourself because you can’t just back into cover like others.
Don’t show your side armour at all (exception churchills) , the armour is too thin and aphe or he on your tracks will kill you.
Remember you have really good pen and most tanks armour can’t stop you. You have a fast reload, flat shooting rounds and the best average gun depression so use your terrain and gun handling to your advantage where you can.
Basically after you leave 3.7, right up to the point where you get the Vickers Mk1, all british tanks are practically useless (except the Churchill NA (NA stands for “Not Awful”) 75, since it is 4.3).
Maybe a Concept 3, and very maybe the Challenger (and the FV4005, but that’s more of a troll vehicle) are usable, but the rest…
And then, with the Cent Mk10 (EDIT:) and the Vickers Mk 1 (END EDIT), you get 2 extremely good tanks, after you have lost your sanity.
Is that with APDS?
It does not matter. What he said is true in only a very small amount of cases.
Usually you will have to pick crew 1by1, or aim for ammo.
no its true in most cases. people who shoot crew individually are making their life very difficult.
basic rule of any solid shot ammo.
old video but principles apply still to any br.
Because your third person camera is above your gun. Your camera might see above the rock but your gun is not.

So is it normal that i can not do a bino shot with APDS while in hull down?
Depending on the terrain, yes. Binos are above your gun so just because you have a shot with your binos, does not mean that the gun is clear
If you are struggling 5 you wont do any better at 6.The comet is back to 5.3 so you could get a good line up around that level.Do you have access to premiums?
