Still unsure why i even bothered to grind it at all.
yeah, I was hoping DM53 would be worth it, but the fire rate nerf and a loss of survivability they simply arent good enough. I have the odd fun/decent game in it, but the BN is by far the sueprior tank still imo

Actually swapped my CR2 for the Vickers Mk7 it can survive shots and it’s fast.
I haven’t the 2E spaded yet but it’s proving painful!
I really need to work down that line and get thsoe Vickers tanks unlocked. But I just cant be bothered these days with Ground, between the compression, outstanding issues and terrible map design. I’ve given up. Naval feels like a far better gamemode and have had far more fun spading the sieve that is Rodney more than I have even trying to play something like the Chally DS to grind out vehicles in .

I’m fairly convinced the vickers mk1 and mk3 are the most fun you can have in this game.
Excluding the ❤️❤️ chieftain mk5 ❤️❤️ of course.

Depends man ive nearly whacked out the ztz 99.III and the ztz99A ltc or whatever it id bellow the vt4A, in about 100 hours of gameplay, that and tbe 140k.on thr 99II is over 600k rp.
But yeah rhe rewards are brutal and you need to sweat your balls off to get anywhere.
The DS and cr 1 mk3 with the vickers mk7 is a bloody fantastic combination, along with the jaguar gr1a.
But yeah the mk 3 is my goto 8.3 fun tank tbh
Legacy Challenger Mk.2 with G-LYNX and Jaguar GR.1A, Fox also. I rest my case. Only thing its missing is Stormer HVM with Martlet and some sort of capable fighter such as perhaps the Cheetah D.
Legacy Challenger was the peak of British tank design and you will not change my mind.

Just need the CR1s to have their IRL ready racks and Gen 2 Thermals.

gen 2? is this a 1.5 so therefore 2 situation or did they get an upgrade with the mk 3?
Challenger 1, Challenger 2 and TIALD all have the exact same Thermal imager. Based upon Gaijins method for determining “gen” its closest to gen 2 rather than Gen 1.
Challenger 2 is modeled as Gen 2. TIALD and Challenger 1 are modeled as Gen 1. Year+ old report for those.

Always wondered why the cr1 had worse thermals.
Yet another F’ing report that shall never be touched again then i suppose.
The cr1s are from lmy perspective actually good at their br
If gaijin ever get off their arses and fix the ch2 ready rack, would the ch1 also benefit? i.e. should that be 4 or greater?

Surely British crews should be able to “lap load” as one of the few advantages of 2/3 piece ammo is this

Notice how the loader doesn’t spend half a minute fumbling around after the first few shots…
He also has the dart piece of the ammunition load to hand and ready to whack in the moment the breech slams open.
Something Gaijin don’t appear to understand.

I think the real problem is not that us UK mains are trying to argue that the CR2 should be the best tank in War Thunder. It would just be nice for it not be broken for a change.
I know, radical thinking…

Gaijin can’t believe that most British kit wouldn’t function unless we had the very best level of guys operating it. Sadly we are unable to leverage the superior training in the game.
Conqueror is another example we have documented evidence the loader had to maintain a certain fire rate 4 rounds per minute (they had a training school specially for it) yet in game 18 seconds. Because that’s how long an IS3 takes to reload.

they claim its for balance, like for example chieftain with expert crew is over 8 seconds when in reality it was closer to 6 for a normal crew.
The conquoror did have issues loading but that was with shell ejection, which is irrelevant here, the Conquror should have roughly a 15 second reload overall
