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.
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.
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?
I am premium, i now have the Charioteer mk vii now. I would not of been able to get this far with out premium thats for sure. Im dong ok ish and i say ish, i make a lot of school boy errors like rushing in, theres not much i can do when you play Britian and only being used to make team numbers up is pretty crap. I need to find good british players in the same match as me so i can watch replays but i dont see any british seasoned players about
I find it ok to, i have gone head to head with tigers and when i get the first shot in on the gunner its fine, but i also get many assits from not having a fast enough reload due to team finishing off the kill or im killed by there team
