So a tank that can’t kill things outside of 100m reliably (They will just move) facing tanks that can take it out at 300-500-800m (etc) should go up in BR? 90% of tanks (that aren’t french 1.0) can kill this thing in the point blank relatively easily, provided you aren’t daft. But surely with that being known, we should send the panzer 3s and 4s up because they can kill the tank from upwards of 3 times the range and we surely can’t respond so it is mighty unfair.
(But seriously, how are those tanks still that low BR, even aside the churchill)
Of course! But thats if the game is a 1v1, not having everyone spamming shots on you will trying to figure out the weakness of that metal beast, even if ur playing tactical :)
Not trying to be funny but if you’re getting shot at by multiple people at once then you’re probably dead anyway and you’ve positioned poorly. And also has nothing to do with the AVRE.
Not to be that guy, but they did remove the Panther II, Coelian and Tiger II 10 5 which many people spent way more than just two weeks to get. And many still couldn’t. Of course those were Tech Tree vehicles and not Event, but still.
I absolutely believe that Gaijin would take the Churchill AVRE Petard away from us all if enough people whine around.
They didn’t remove them, you just aren’t able to unlock them anymore. They are still available to play if you have them. The op is asking to completely remove the Petard from the game, which means removing it from accounts that have it.
I cant help but find it incredibly funny that people are having such a issue with a tank that can be best described as a mobile barge with a melee weapon.
I feel like its almost a intelligence check given it’s primary weakness is it’s strength.
Fun fact, the churchill event vehicle can be very easily destroyed by shooting the exposed ammo at the barrel, even with a 7.62MM on a plane. Not the hardest to be killed by 1.7 tanks like the m3 half track that have M61 shot, and a lot of 3,0+ tanks that have heat, etc conventionally. Also the tank has a very long reload compared to ur average tank in a 2.7 match.
Everyone who already had the Panther II, Coelian and Tiger II 10.5 at the time they were removed from the tech tree still has them. They were they were simply turned into event vehicles (without an associated event) so that no one else can ever unlock them.
IMO the only one that Gaijin should even so much as thinking about bringing back is the Coelian. But I know not everybody agrees with me on the subject of incomplete prototypes with mockup armament.
The Tiger 10.5 should never ever come back. And if Gaijin brings back the Panther II it should be the real one. Not a fake that mounts a turret that wasn’t even designed until after the Panther II was cancelled.
Since you can kill it with STRV 31, using slpprj m/49 ammo, so basically 1.0 tank, I don’t think Petard Churchill is set too low, it could be even lower. It really has thick armor and takes some patience to get it, but on the other hand, it has a very hard aiming system, almost impossible to hit a fast-moving target, and it reloads for ages. It takes some effort, skill and even teamplay to get it, but you can get it. It’s a good challenge.
I never used Petard in battle, I don’t have it, but I tested it on testing ground and I have absolutely no wish to go through any effort to have that thing in my inventory!
