Opponents and usage.
Churchill MK III AVRE Petard is a close combat tanks which basically useless in huge steppes maps because his range 20-meter and shell velocity too slow. Howevery it able to kill most of the enemy with one shot, his mobility and armor not effective against his opponenets. But why? Thanks to +1 and -1 BR in battles with his 2.7 BR it will garbage against 3.7 and 3.3 vehicles. They easily penetrate his front turrent and hull armor with first shot from far distance and stun or kill him with one shot while Petard not able to get enought closer to take a shot and kill them. When fight against -1 BR tanks i never experiences yet, but as i see it will same as his own BR. On his own BR (2.7-2.3) if you find an enemy you just pray to they not know Petards weak points from front side which Petard’s tanks a big disadvantage.
Weak points:
Hull MG (which basically not implemented as a component) 50mm.
Spoiler
Gun barrel which contain a loaded shell. If the gun loaded you able to shot and destroyed the loaded ammunition which blow up the whole tank. You not need a big gun, a single MG enought.
Spoiler
Suspension under the turret and front front hull. If you hit this with HE shell which penetration skill ~ 22mm you blow up the tank. This work in every Churchill tank case…
Repair and sensitiv Modules:
-Fixing time too big for a single modul it take ~ 30-25 sec.
-Sensitiv Modules: Gun barrel, Track and loaded Shell in Gun barrel.
Crews:
Turrent crew: Mgunner, gunner, commander. Hull: Driver and loader.
Spoiler
Ammo:16 round but as i saw 16+1 will be the fair:
Spoiler
And a Huge nerf:
First-order mechanism: However the loader sit next to the 3 round and behind him +4 round only 1 shell contain the First-order. If you in close combat and take 2 shot the reload speed is increased more( Info based on Wiki
) becasue First-order ammo rack empty (~1,5-1,3 * basic reload time). First-order restore time similar as reload time(~15 sec).
I know that’s facts not a honeypot, but contain knowledge about this tank.
Thank you if you read it. Have a nice day!
