Yeh im with you on this, after the BR changes the chieftains are in a nice spot and that gun is potent AF.

Did you… did you do that thing we are not supposed to do but we keep doing anyways?

Every APDS shot is a smile. Got both the MK3 and MK5 spaded and I loved every second of it. Probably the only fun british players are legally allowed to have in War Thunder

I banged a talisman on the entire lineup, the chieftains the Falcon, marksman next will be the Za-35. It’s a beautiful Anti cas lineup and their very very few tanks the chieftain can’t knock out frontally. However the mobility on the mk3 isn’t great and i genuinely believe the mk5 should have a LRF.

Chieftains are a vibe, agreed. It’d be nice to have an LRF on the Mk.5, the Mk.10 to become the Mk.11, but we can dream haha.

I just want a buff to apds so I stop doing no damage and dying to a single hit centre mass.

So I wrote that after a long slog of up tiers, or a long period of long range naps fighting t55Am-1s at range with their laser range finders.

They are nice, the laser range finder is the missing piece, it would be a perfect 8.7 tank if it had it I think.

Goodness I wish.

Tbh, I’d be happy as a clam if they moved the mk3 to 8.3 and stick a lrf on the mk5 and keep it at 8.7

*back to 8.3

It was good fun then.

In my experience the 120mm chieftains gun slaps the cents 105s absolutely suck in comparison. The 120s spall damage is pretty great in my opinion.

The gun is great. The round hits like a truck as it should, it’s a huge penetrator (ooh err missus)
