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
