Gaijin, what kind are you thinking?
At least FOUR equips for that? This is totally blocking to Leclerc. What a insane guys.

Aye, it’s extremely painful when the rank requirement’s and gaps more or less force you to grind the entirety of a tech tree to reach top tier.
I recall Britain having a similar problem in air when the first 2 Tornado’s were added. You had to grind every single line to get them lol.

Only in War Thunder, you need to research the same vehicle multiple times including parts across different nations just to play them or go further down the tech tree.

Not that hard when Rank 6 ground is great.
Blocking to Leclerc? You say that as if it’s a bad thing. Don’t be in a rush to unlock that MBT. You’ll have more fun with the 9.7 line-up.
yea top tier britain was pretty much non-existent even just a year and a half ago. things get fixed eventually it just takes years
The end of the British line is still 10.7 - Vickers Mk.7, Chall Mk.3, Strela, etc. It’s just peak. But I’m glad that Chall 2 enjoyers are having a better time at it.
What’s the appeal of the British ground if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve made it to the conway but it wasn’t really a pleasant experience.
was talking about air. until we got the Shar FA2 and Gripen we were pretty hopeless.
Centurion and fox. thats about it tbh. at low tier we are slaughtered by long barrel pz4 or cant pen a T34. at mid tier there’s hyper compression so your 1953 tank fights 1970s kit and at top tier the CR2 and CR3 is just a disaster

Conway is possibly the worst example to use to qualify playing a tree. Get to Britain 7.7 and you’ll know what the tree is about with the Fox/Caern/Cent MK.3, etc. Then you’ll unlock the beloved Falcon, and quality vehicles like the ZA-35/ZT3A2, and interesting vehicles like the Swingfire. It’s a fun tree.

OP is talking about ground, so I’m discussing ground. But I do agree that Britain has serious issues in air at that BR bracket (in air battles, anyway).
Start working on the Bosvark line, asap. Bosvark itself is sweet. I often play FV4005/M109A1 for fun (haven’t spaded stuff like the Ratel90/Chario because they’re for emergency use only).
I’m also a big fan of the AVRE, which is 50% off right now. I used that to grind out a bunch of that BR bracket.
Gotcha gotcha, got the mk5/1 early on so idk if I’ll do avre. But thanks for the advice!
5/1 is nice. Yeah, only grab AVRE if you’re into quirkly playstyles (for example if you enjoy FV4005). It’s one of those vehicles you’ll reach for when you get tired of the common MBT playstyle.
It used to be a hell of a lot worse. Back before the update, the only rank 7 vehicles where the Roland and the first Leclerc. So a 12.0 MBT and an SAM that cannot look up. And you were expected to use that to grind out all of rank 8.
IMO, they should have moved the entire 9.3/9.7 lineup to rank 7, but this is still preferable.
and since they were rank 7 they didnt have stock apfsds.
