I usually get more assists than kills in it, but it still slaps as a sniper tank

oh shi he actually has no clue who morvran is.
Morv is maybe the most pure brit main on the forum and thats really saying something. he doesnt have more than 10 matches in a single non brit vehicle at all excl the sherman 105

That hasn’t happened to me in ages bar with the damn 105 on the L7 Type 74 redstar, oddly enough

Random thing about british APFSDS, why do we not have a tank Capable of firing L36 in game?
i want 1960s 105 APFSDS.
(or am i being lied to about L36 being a APFSDS round?)
I had it with like 50% of the APDS I fired last few matches in the Chieftain Mk5 but I reliably get kills with L23 in the Mk10.
I was averaging more assists than kills most games.
Dunno, a quick search on the internet tells me it’s APDS-T
It’s good man it’s not a mediocre round by any standard.
I can’t say I’ve had that issue at all tbh
you have to be a little more deliberate with your shell placement due to its disgustingly lowballed flat pen than you would initially think tbh. but as far as APDS goes in game it is the cream of the crop.
gaijin moments are more of a problem than that is tho

Even like 50-100hp would be very noticeable. 300hp difference is crazy. This will probably get a slower reverse speed as well so Khalid will be a lot more better than the 900 even with the paper add on armor.

the difference between mk3 and mk5 warrants a BR difference tbh. however a performance cars worth of power difference really demands it

105? Try 120.
all i get is shell shattered and giving crew headaches
The Mk3 should be 8.3 and the Mk5 should just get APFSDS and stay at 8.7. The Chieftain 900 should sit alongside the Chieftain Mk10 at 9.0 with APFSDS, the stronger engine and no extra armor.
They could also finally give the Rooikat Mk1D the longRod spall modifier so it actually does damage and move it to 9.0 too which would make for a good lineup.
I’ve had those games as well.
Maybe the snail just decided to let me play some nice matches for once and I’m going back to HESH ricochets, HEAT dealing literally no damage and proxy HE and SAMs only ever damaging flaps and landing gears soon
Did you not read my attached sources? The Mk 5 had a LRF from the start. It was only later in production it was swapped out for a better one. This is what people keep confusing.

No it doesn’t mate what ? The mk3 is essentially the mk5 but a bit slower.
The fundamentals of its capabilities are nearly the same.
No , at all no the mk3 should stay 8.7 and the mk5 should get the correct l15a5 with improved performance as well as the LRF which would see it be 9.0.
Finally! Someone with an actual source whos been talking about it for ages.
I did read it, but I interpreted that part as them changing the layout so a LRF could be installed, just like the Mk.3/3 had provisions for the TLS LF2.
The Chieftains that actually were equipped with the LRF would have the /L designation and I couldn’t find any mentions of a Mk.5/L existing online.
