You ever heard of this concept called “flanking”? Yeah it’s pretty important and Chaffees do it REALLY well. In fact one could wonder if I’m speaking from EXPERIENCE? Also, once again, shoot the barrel and shoot the turret roof in that order.
An intelligent chaffee wins every time. I’m sorry that you can’t comprehend how to kill a churchill but that’s not my problem.
If by BS you mean the turret roof? That’s a weakspot for the churchill, congrats dude. MG Port? That’s a volumetric hellhole but it’s also a weakspot. You know what else you can do to the VII? Shoot it in the turret side when it’s distracted, or get behind and engine it, or CBT it. Churchills are not hard to kill, and this includes the VII, you are just bad.
You know i`m quite a fond of it with some of my late auto-cannons, as they fail to be played otherwise. So i now think of it this way: if i can hardly pen T-72 with, for example, stock belt of this abomination
(87mm pen 90* 0m), that sure means i totally dominate it, right?
Also. You see, i do hate playing Churchills. Thus makes me as mad as when i play Maus, because they are THAT slow. But… I certainly never found out that Black Prince (6.0) has bad armor. When in fact it has same armour profile as this 4.7 monster of a tank. Even underBRed germans have troubles with it if it is played a little bit like Tiger.
The only thing it fears are high caliber HEs as it has cardboard hull roof. WT matches arent Famicom Tanks, you cant always guarantee yourself a great shot or a good positioning, and this is one of the reasons heavy tanks are still a thing.
Ah i didnt use the numbers, they are quite good if you ask me, as a fellow brits enjoyer i envy some of your results (for example the Conqueror is just not working out to me, tho it looks like you have troubles with it too). I just pointed out that you only fairly played British. So the point here is… Lack of experience? in shooting at the Churchill.
Most of my problems playing the conqueror come in the fact that british 7.7 is literally all full uptiers on the worst possible maps. Ammo is finnicky but it’s mostly fine.
This tank is map dependent, extremely. I don’t even spawn it on full down tiers on certain maps because it’s just bad (why is volokolamsk still in the game). There are also a lot of scenarios where the firefly or avenger are just straight up better despite the lack of armor because the gun is Actually Good
Maps sure are the problem, but them 7.7 Brita is my most beloved BR. Mainly because of Aussie Centuruon 5/1. The 7.7 lineup is quite well fit to fight downtiers if you ask me: they still have stabs and great pen, then the damage is usually as bad as with L7 apdses.
I usually experience a total underperformance of cannon on conquerror. Sometimes there are juat no damage at all qwq
As any other slow machine, yes. I would never pick it at something like Fulda. And i have concerns of how would you play ot 5.0 with no lineup at all.
Good pen chassis are usually better in war thunder as is tho. Its just how the game works. Still, Churchill in the right place is a menace to society xD
As even slight angling helps you become unpenable for most opponents.
Same reason why KV-1E is that good even tho there are many Panzers and other AT guns at its BR. It just can do stuff.
See I’m just not going to queue 5.0, I will remove the VII from my 4.7 lineup and replace it with something else. 4.7 britain was enjoyable before the Churchill got its APHE and it’s probably going to be enjoyable when it moves up (for the most part (gaijin for the love of god fix KV-1 volumetric it’s ridiculous that a 17 pounder shot can bounce off of the lower front from the low ground))
There are maybe 3 maps where the VII is outright broken and even then it’s debatable on Rhine. On the contrary, there are way more maps where it’s utterly useless to even bother spawning given
A. The sheer egregiousness of the sightlines
B. Lack of mobility
and despite it all, I’d still rather first spawn a VII in a full uptier on Volokolamsk than play an 8.3 uptier against america
Also I’d like to remind everyone that longways through the tracks REALLY fucks up the VII
Well maybe that would point out some things to Gaijin. Tho i dont see how that could’ve turned out otherwise. If you won’t give aphe to VII, people angy. You give it, it becomes too good and you move it? They angy. You dont move it? Others angy.
4.7 is a place where the M61 is still a decent round and can make 95% of enemies die frontally. Especially when you have some armor to buy you time to aim.
4.7 is also a place where you have to actually aim with m61 and that time is more than enough for them to barrel you and either leave or exploit your weakspots
Or you can look at that other way: they can get a bad shot, and you will have some time to aim it. They dont have such a luxury when they meet you frontally :'3
yeah except gaijin made the mistake of telling people to grind the japanese tech tree and now it’s an uptier literally every game because people can’t stand to not have an annoying casemate they’ll stop playing in 2 weeks because they remembered crew leveling is a mechanic
Valentine 100% deserves to go up. I played a bit with that in a 2.7 lineup (Valentines are one of my comfort tanks) and oh my god it’s such a bully. Like I enjoyed it, and it reminded me that no matter how upset I get with this game, I can go down and play some Valentines and generally have a good time, but Valentine XI deserves what’s coming to it. Maybe gaijin adds Valentine X next update so we get 2 6 pounder valentines
