Alright, now let’s look at the places a long 88 can shoot for a one-shot kill while being mounted on a much better platform :P

It can barely tackle centurion mk10&5/1 upper plates or the AVRE and it will see them in most matches. its in an unfortunate spot, but if you have a braincell you know to hit turret roof and it’s a one shot
Ngl your stat card looks like either a kinda new wallet warrior or someone that has played for a long time, but hardly ever plays so I don’t think you can speak for a lot of us Brit Mains. SA doesn’t really add anything good, the 6pdr SARC is really punchy for 3.3, the G6 is a low tier VIDAR and nothing else is worth the time. We wouldve been just fine with a Rhodesian AML90, Fox and Rooikat, the rest are completely forgettable and arent worth the slot in a lineup
we wanted actual light tanks not scout cars with the wrong tag, we want CVRTs, Covenanter and AJAX.

I would take the Saladin over the Concept 3 any day ,the 76mm L5A1 was a good gun.
There is plenty that we should have had over the SA rubbish.

The saladin would actually be able to move and have a quality gun for the BR its placed at. Im for SA being a British subnation in the UK tree but it being the subtree has probably screwed us long term, it means the likelihood of getting a CANZUK sub tree is near zero, Canadian kit will be split up more and the Aussies may see nothing more at all

I have no issue sharing with the commonwealth. I love the Aussie Premium at 5.7
I just would like priority given to UK kit.
Would it be any great loss to lose everything SA from the UK tree? Maybe the AA gun at 4.3 that’s about it.There is no cover for huge armoured or rather unarmoured cars anymore since they hacked all the bushes away.

Back on topic it would be zero loss to lose the M109 ,well kind of back on topic.I don’t really care about its top speed to be honest.

Id prefer if it got replaced by Abbot, our 105mm self propelled howitzer, the hull already exists in the game as the falcon. id also like to see sexton, it was a 25pdr QF howitzer on a ram hull. Im lucky enough to have fired a 25pdr and would really love to see it in game, it could also be mounted to the Harry Hopkins Alecto and be a British counterpart to the 15cm sig although admittedly its only a 8.7cm gun, although British mains can do more with less, its our whole thing

Good call on all those. Missing the Abbot is like missing the Scorpion a real WTF moment

Having only the striker and stormer representing CVRT feels almost like an insult, especially Scimitar, it shot down an Argentine Skyhawk in the Falklands and was a real workhorse in Iraq and Afghanistan. Its got the turret off the fox so you can imagine how scared Gaijin would be to add it after the 7.0 fox incident. however 7.0 for the same turret on a less mobile (but still bloody fast) hull would fit 7.0 perfectly

Eh, as a Brit main I’m in the middle, SA should definitely have been a sub tree but some of the low tier stuff is kinda eh, Rooikat, Olifant and TTD were definitely worth adding though.
AEC Mk.II should have been TT instead of the SARC, and the M109A1 fills the niche of the G6 (imo better)

the first olifant i love its a centurion but with FS-APDS, LRS and more speed, id say its the best centurion in the British tree because it has modern kit at a BR where a lot of enemies don’t. hate the mk2 as its a late 1940s tank fighting late 1980s tanks and the TTD is what happens when you just won’t let the damn centurion die. Both the mk2 and TTD perform are very unattractive offers when I have the MK10 Chieftain, Khaled and Challenger DS in the same lineups.
the limited but faster turret traverse and gun elevation I find more valuable and ill take more straight-line speed over small turn circles. the G6 also cant be overpressured from a HE hit on the driver and has a higher velocity bigger boom shell

Yeah you’re right. The only tanks it cant kill for sure is the IS-4 and the Maus. But those two get constantly eaten alive by AGTMs so not very fun either.
whenever i see a maus i think “free kill” I’ve gotten too efficient at knocking them out, especially with HESH
