That with a 6s reload at 9.7 seems reasonable.
I find I can expose myself less time when ridge peaking if the tank has roof mounted sights, does take some getting used to I’ll give you that, but I find I’ve become a mildly better player because of it.
(Also helps with over peaking in stuff with neck weakspot)
Yep, that is a more realistic reload to 7.5 seconds too
Perhaps th FV4211 could also be added at 9.7, featuring real chobham armour as oppose to the 900s planned armour

My problem is that you’d have parallax errors, especially at close range.
Plus I usually just use binocs to peak over hills anyways.
The Khalid at 9.3 seems good but not great – having great mobility but mediocre firepower (for the reload) and what seems to be Chieftain Mk.5 armour.
I think a 6.7s reload for it might be warranted too.
they could give it L23A1 and a better reload if needed i guess
L23 as ingame, never existed, and should really be removed entirely anyway

L23A1 AND a reload buff might be too much for 9.3 to be honest with you.
Probably 9.7 worthy at that point.

Muscle memory is all I can offer for that unfortunately. The worst part about parallax is when it bugs out, e.g. gaijin forgetting to enable the sight parallax compensation on the Stingray, or the game not resetting the parallax compensation when lowering the range.

It seems like you’ve been doing fairly well despite those shortcomings, at least xD

that was my plan lol, i think its better at 9.7 as its better than the Chieftain 900 in every way already
A variant with TOGS thermals could also be added at 10.0

FV4211 Literally was just a Mk5 protection wise.
It was a Alluminum hull with Composite, that made it equal to a standard Mk5 Chieftain.
The armour was certainly better, with the hull and turret being immune to 105mm APDS as well as 5 inch HEAT
The side armour was also much better being immune to 84mm HEAT from any angle
Though Chieftain 900 actually has quite decent armour in full downtiers:
The Khalid has slightly worse turret armour, but much worse hull armour:
By no means would I say the Khalid is overall worse than the Chieftain 900, though.
The much better acceleration, top speed, and reverse speed is worth it.
It’s cause the 900 has full volumetric armour, the Khalid only has it for the turret IIRC
Hopefully they’ll roll it out properly

didn’t exist, and Chieftain was already is immune to 105 APDS.
That is only due to gaijin not upgrading the Khalids hull to volumetric, which should really be done and hopefully will in the near future
I just realised kitten said the same

Every fuckin time, EVERY GOD DAMN TIME.
The British get something fun, and it gets moved up for literally no reason. Other than to protect the win rates of Sub-par players who complain and complain, while they drive straight into sniper lines directly infront of tanks again, and again, and again. With no other Strategy.
wdym didnt exist?
84mm HEAT is what is fired by the carl gustav recoilless rifle which has existed since the 1940s
… What lmao
84mm heat is Carl Gustav RR/L14A1 Infantry Anti-Tank Gun’s basic AT round.

Clairfy next time.
The 20pounder was 84mm.
Which i know for a fact didn’t have a HEAT round.
