Churchill Mk. VIII - Heavy Close Support

+1 it’s such a good suggestion! I love it.

F*ck you

:)
Love you too

5.7 would be fine for the Mk VII AVRE.

5.0 maximum.

4.7 5.0 depends on how good the gun is this br range just needs decompression bad

4.7 for the Mk VIII, 5.7 for the Mk VII AVRE

might be a bit much that versus a tiger 2 or T26E5 would not be fun

Centurion AVRE 165mm is already 7.0, it’s the same weapon on a much worse platform so 5.7 should be fine.

I think this Mk. VI might be the most covered one I’ve seen overall. A mix of Churchill and Sherman track with even the driver’s viewport blocked and Sherman links covering Churchill links on the lower glacis.

This is the kind of turret covering I want on the Mk VII we have in game. Lol.

Actually covers some of the roof.

We need more British CS tanks be represented, especially in the researchable category of the TT

+1. It’s always good to have more Churchills

Between the six in game (plus the BP and CGC) and the nine that have been suggested, we could have quite a nice selection to choose from. They wouldn’t be particularly difficult to implement either, seeing as they’d mostly just be using assets that have already been made.

I think the chances of us getting many more Churchills is pretty slim though.

Afaik more info was found regarding a HEAT shell for the 3-inch howitzer too so, theoretically, the older CS tanks could even be implemented in a usable state. But, even if they couldn’t, the Centaur IV, Cromwell VI, Churchill V/VII AVRE/VIII, and Sherman IB would make a pretty good howitzer line.

It’s a shame that we’re still missing some fundamental designs from throughout the years like the A9, A10, Covenanter, Scorpion, and Saladin etc. Even stuff that would be really easy to add like the two other Firefly variants as you mentioned or the Chaffee.

With infantry mode vehicles like this could have a home smashing buildings.
