i mean that comes with any low calibre apds, although i doubt itll matter at the br this thing gets put at as i dont see it going above 5.3 realistically. This would be a mini jumbo with better pen but worse post pen damage.

Currently the Mk III ingame, is also using the 6pdr OQF Mk.V.
So the main difference between this suggested vehicle and the one ingame, would be the applique armour and APDS. Where potentially only the applique armour, since the one already ingame would also be able to use the APDS.
To be honest, i think this might work better as modifications to the current Mk III.
i just want more churchills man, i already have a fantastic 4.7 lineup but giving it a churchill with less armour but a much better round would be fantastic. We could then get a mk 6 or mk 8(i think, the churchill marks get confusing after 3) which is a mk 7 with the 6pdr, that with apds would be amazing.
It has the stats of the 6pdr Mk. V but it’s modelled as an earlier Mk. III armed with the 6pdr Mk. III. Really it needs the proper stats applying and then could probably even be moved down to 3.7, which would also open the doors for another variant to replace it.
I’d love to see a proper representation of the late, long-barrel 6-pdr where it belongs. The current one should have its stats altered to reflect the shorter L/43 barrel and its lower penetration (and thus its BR lowered). This would then be a great addition to follow it. +1

Never happened
Mk IV with 75mm
Mk 7 with 95mm howitzer.
Has this been bug reported?

No, I don’t think so. The Churchill VII & VIII Service Instruction Book gives those values but I don’t have anything on the III/IV and I reckon we’ll need those too for a report.

+1! MOORE CHURCHILL
Three tech tree Churchills could be more. (Maybe four if you include the one with the 75).

There’s currently eight Churchill suggestions with a ninth hopefully accepted soon. I think fifteen Churchills spread across the tree would be pretty good. It’s a nice round number.

A tank with the ability to poke the crew to death by a thousand cuts?
British, please!

Jumbo Churchill absolutely yes, +1 i would like to see the Churchill III with applique armor too… at 4.0 the Churchill III doesn’t really feel like a heavy tank… you’re only effective against weak soviet guns, like from 3.3 and 3.7 tanks, anti-air and stuff, it doesn’t really play like a heavy tank, it plays like a very slow medium tank.

Unfortunately, the Current Mk. III doesn’t/shouldn’t qualify for the applique, as it’s an earlier version (if gaijin even care about that sort of accuracy anymore). The best thing for it imo is to give it its proper 6pdr Mk. III stats and bump it down to 3.7, replacing it’s spot with another Churchill variant.

Remember, there was one with the mk 7 armour scheme with a 6pdr. I thought it was a mk 8 but it turned out to be something else.

I always get so confused because the way the barrel looks in Mk III’s with applique armor is so confusing, the barrel looks thicker than in some other photos… and sometimes it looks thinner

That’s a Mk. III*. They had their 6pdr swapped out for the QF 75mm Mk. V. If it’s got a muzzle brake it’s the 75mm but if it’s got the counterweight it’s a 6pdr. For any pictures where there’s a cover over the muzzle you’ve just got to guess based on the shape (flared = 75, uniform shape = 6pdr).

Casually using your Churchill as a clothes line.
Washing has to be done when and where the tank crew park their Churchill. Here is Trooper E. Macquinness washing some of his clothes in an improvised bowl. - IWM B 7607
