I can’t believe I forgot about this piece of shit, probably the most miserable experience I’ve ever had in a tank. Having to scroll forever to set the rangefinder to 50m and hoping to god your amor is enough to get in range of the enemy. Biggest waste of 2500 GE Iv’e ever spent.
British Archer.
I played it in ground assault once and never again.
I love the comet actually. If playing Comet/Chally, I will take comet first.
Chally does better as a back-up to the cent mk1, but comet is much more sneaky and maneuverable.

I actually got used to the Archer eventually and it was good ,like somebody got used to the vehicle I posted.I suppose the message is that you can have fun in any vehicle if you take time to work it out.I have seen rockets land on spawn at the start of the WW2 game from the those that can fire them .I suppose some vehicles require a bit of thought and patience.

I got the M1 KVT on the sale and I am using it without a proper lineup to back it up.
I am doing better in that thing than in any of my Leopards…
You will perform even better in your bushmaster money Leopard than the KVT I think.
In the copy paste 2A4? I don’t think so. I hated spading the regular one.
Beaufighter Mk.I 40mm.
Accidentally activated the coupon so decided to test it vs the tech tree Mk.VI. My advice - avoid!
Two different guns with different fire rates, ammo counts, reloads, ballistics. No secondaries, no rear gun, no suspended wepons. Plus its slower and more sluggish than the Mk.Vi. A little lower BR so there’s that…
Save your money and just use the Hurricane Mk.IV instead.
the worst picks for premium vehicles a human could made. I made both btw :(
Planes would be Ok if they were 2.0 BRs lower. Snail teaching us to never buy a premnium vehicle again.

Also, I believe the fact that nobody is mentioning the Sholef, is because I was the only person stupid enought to make its BP
Sholef oh yeah Im going for world record in never playing that tank, looking good for now.
Netz is fine the problem it gets uptierd but in its own br its good
BM-8-24 is the worst. Gaijin should either buff the rockets or refund the buyers.
The comet is definitely a miserable little tank. No reverse, no armour, reload as long as a panther, SHELL SHATTERED, horrible angled performance (worse than a lot of APHE shells at the BR) and close to zero spalling meaning you basically have to take several shots to dismantle any tank you’re fighting.
Meanwhile the challenger is the same BR and so much more enjoyable.
ASU-85, it is horrible.
Armor… what armor.
Speed… speed not found.
Gun depression… also not found, not even in traces, like most of Soviet/Russian tanks.
Ammo is good, but what use of it, when I need to pop out whole vehicle to fire at some one. Mostly get destroyed while driving out to position for fire.
Only few lucky shots if enemy is distracted or I somehow popout behind corner on flat terrain. If terrain is hilly even a little, I can not lower my gun.
I played German Dicker Max and Emil, no armor also, but at least they have very good gun depression so hiding behind hill and short popout to fire and reverse I score good kills.
Same is with ASU-57.
Beside ASU, I am at start of French tech tree, only I am bothered by ammo, no explosive fill, so I need to hit enemy numerous times to destroy it. Very rare one shot kill.
Same here. Not even sure if it is actually good in good hands…tried for some time as it had a very good gun…but thing is virtually unplayable due to the rear firing gun.
Tried all the tips…still incredibly annoying and frustrating to play…
I wonder how it worked in real life…
I actually really like the archer. 17pdr at that BR turns everything to mulch.

For me, probably the Chally 2’s. Which absolutely pains me to say as I adore them irl.
Mobility? Worst in class by a considerable margin. So painfully slow you’re just unable to keep up with your team when it’s winning, and unable to react / reposition when you’re losing.
Firepower? Some of the worst pen, post pen and sustained RoF at top tier. The tiny ready rack just knee caps it. (Let’s not even talk about HESH)
Surviveability? Gigantic mantlet weak spot when hull down. If not hull down, gigantic paper hull (with huge drivers optic / LFP weakspots for autocannons). And there is charge bins scattered everywhere in the hull so you are almost always a 1 shot.
I straight up just had to stop playing them for my own mental sake. After every play session I was just going to bed angry lol.
Welcome to French Coastal…you will suffer.
VTB-8
Imo the worst reerve coatal by a fair margin. The British has more guns, Japanese recieve 360 turrets, Germany gets a 15mm cannon, while Italy ups it to a 20mm, US has 50cal mgs, and the Russians not only get a 12.7mm (albeit limited arcs) but also top speed and low profile steel hull.
France gets a relatively large wooden hull, unprotected twin 8mm with limited arcs, mediocre torpedos. By the time you’ve bled for your speed boosts and AP-I it will be time to ditch for (very slighly) better true 1.0.
Bombers in air battles. 7.0 / 7.3 ground realistic USA.
I found a few maps where the Archer could be made to work but most didn’t really provide the right conditions. I managed to get all the camos for it but it’s not been used since.
I’ve spaded all the props in Air RB, except the P108A and a couple of the Japanese twin-engined “fighters” so I’d add these to my list of Worst Vehicles.
