World of Tanks

its the thing the FV 4202 stands out with. It doesnt have the speed like other T9 HT, it doesnt have the armour, It doesnt have better firepower then other T9's. BUT it does have that devestating HESH shell

[SiCaRiO]

the 105 is very usefull for harrasment and potshots. in wich the new PZIV is good in it

yep, I use the PZIV as an oportunistic tank, get behind firendly high tier tanks, use them to recive the blunt of the damage from the enemy, and fire shots here and there to distract other tanks, its higly rewarding. And if you are top tier, nothing can survive more than 2 HE 105 mm shells.

[THeTA0123]

Yep. And the PZIV frontal hull armour can bounce some decent shots in its own tier matches
And it also now has the actuall speed to outmanouver KV tanks
Its became a worthy tank

On another note, the HESH shells for the FV4202 are amazing.

I am having awful luck with them, seems like I just hit spaced armor a lot. :/

Brit tanks are okay, I can see why they added the French in first. They look neat, but it feels like an alternative US line than anything really distinctive gameplay wise. The tier 10 medium and heavy are both solid, even though I really really really hate rear turreted tanks.

Due to the game's mechanics I think, you have to avoid hitting any module parts. If you hit the gun, or the tracks and stuff, they will for some reason absorb HE shells. If you hit flat parts however that are purely armor (and ofcourse <210mm), you will do the full ~600 damage.

This means that Russian glitch tanks like the IS4 are immune except for ass shots, but on the other hand tank destroyers and German tanks (with their tall hulls and flat turrets) are incredibly vulnurable. Not to mention the French.

all in all I think the British tanks will suck when released, but damn they are awesome. I don't care if I get oneshoted, I drive a Crusader, Cromwell, Comet, Churchill, Conqueror baby!!!

[THeTA0123]

The caernarvon, churchills, crusader and Comet need alot of attention

The centurion and Conqeuror are alright.

[:| Hi]

I only await the cromwell.

[Sander93]

Cromwell is cool, it can keep up with T-50-2s. Most mobile medium tank in the game for sure.

Gun is pretty decent (accurate as fuck when fully zeroed in) and it has quite a lot of hitpoints for a tier 6 medium (750). All in all a very good tank for its own tier, but like all other tier 5-7 tanks it gets screwed over by matchmaking half the time which just really kills the fun.

[hslan.Corvax]

So far all higher tier UK tanks are pretty sucky imo. On the other hand, the low tier ones are complete rape ! A13Mk1 armed with the BESA Gun is just insane, most probably the most OP tank every created. Even more OP than Tetrach on Tier 2. Also Matilda and Valentine with the squeeze bore guns are great for sniping higher tier tanks, plus they have some pretty though armor. Crusader is pretty cool too, very nimble and agile tank, gun is kinda random thou. Doenst want to pen T5 heavys somehow ..

[Kalkalash]

I really like the 90mm on my M36

[G.Drew]

Despite its flaws, I still very much love the M36. ONlt TD in that line I like better is probably the T110E3.

As for the British tanks, even though Ive had some fun with them (some of the mediums and ofc tanks like the Churchill VII) I just cant see myself playing them. Theres just one or two tanks that I would just flip my shit over if I had to grind with them (for example, the Black Prince. 17pdr as its TOP gun? not a chance!). In general the British heavy tanks after Tier VII just dont appeal to me.

[Sander93]

They seriously screwed up the Brits who are useless now (at least the higher tiers).

They have no armor, no speed, agility is quite useless because you can't get away anyway with only 40km/h. And on top of that all, they nerfed the HESH shells.
Each nation has a unique medium tree (and a heavy one to some sort), but the British are just of no use all around. They get outclassed by everything else.

Even in the test server its rare now to encounter a British tank.
Unless they bring in the Chieftain it's going to be the worst nation in the game by far.

[luftwaffe.be]

I haven't played them, but their stats do seem rubbish to be.

Tier X medium @ 40km/h => lol. That puts this tank in direct competition with the T110E5 and T110E4. and of course it has nowhere such good armour or gun as both those. If you lack speed as a medium you can forget it all together   

[Sander93]

It had incredibly powerfull HE (HESH) shells to compensate, but these are premium shells and they got nerfed a lot. The only thing it´s better at than the other tanks is that it has 25t/HP and thus better mobility, but like I said that's pretty useless given the fact that it can't go faster than 40.

The lower tiers like the Cromwell and the Churchills are pretty nice, and so is the tier 8 medium Centurion Mk1. It's basicly a Pershing with the Panther II gun. But for the rest, they completely screwed up IMO. None of the higher tier tanks are good neither special.
