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.

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

Personally I think we could do something like:
- Churchill Mk III (L/43), 3.7: What the current Churchill Mk III in-game should be but currently has the L/50 6-Pdr and needs to be corrected. The worse gun gives it a BR reduction.
- Churchill Mk III (L/50), 4.0: As is now, effectively, but just a correct 3D model. Could potentially give it APCR.
- Churchill Mk III*, 4.3: QF 75mm with APHE and late model Churchill hull & turret.
- Churchill Mk III Late (L/50), 4.7: This suggestion, with APDS ammo and potentially add-on track armour.

It’s a bit of a tricky one, even with extra track armour I don’t think it’s well protected enough as a heavy for .7 considering its speed and that there’s not much at that BR that’d struggle too badly with getting through a decent section of the front.
I’m not sure I’d ever choose it over the Mk. VII now that’s got APHE or even the VIII if that was added. I’d rather be choosing between the Late’s raw pen and the III*s post-pen damage than raw pen or post-pen plus better armour. But, would .3 be a bit too much in a downtier with APDS, even though it’d be the perfect candidate for it?
For the 4.0 Churchill I’d personally like to see the Mk. IV just to add a bit of variety in a sea of IIIs but I wouldn’t be against the democratic route of just giving us both.
God I hope not. If anything’s gonna make me risk giving gaijin money it’s WWII British equipment. This game’s taken enough of my time already I don’t need it siphoning more of my wallet too.
