105/120/135 penetration is not regularly penetrating panther front armor. :snfPeter:


Because after you've successfully flanked a churchill you face probably an other good at option which UKF has. -.-


Luckily Brit's have an AT gun that's an exact copy of the Pak40 but cheaper :romeoHairDay:

Also probably should mention Churchill's have, really, really good acceleration. Meaning that chasing them isn't exactly the easiest thing in the world (they also have their own upgraded pathing system!)


| | acceleration: 3.5f;
| | deceleration: 3.5f;


Compare that to...

Panther:

| | acceleration: 2.4f;
| | deceleration: 4.5f;

Tiger II:


| | acceleration: 1.4f;
| | deceleration: 1.8f;


Tiger I:


| | acceleration: 1.5f;
| | deceleration: 1.8f;


Panzer IV:

| | acceleration: 2.1f;
| | deceleration: 4.3f;


M10:


| | acceleration: 3.2f;
| | deceleration: 4.4f;


In conclusion: lol Churchill has one of the best acceleration values in the entire game while having 1600 health and 280 frontal armor for 150 fuel :hansWUT:

I have never seen a Churchill nade fail to wipe a squad. Ever. Pak? *blam* dead. Grenadier squad trying to faust? *blam* dead. Flamer or Mg in church? *blam* dead.

They're like Satchels or gammon bombs with less SFX.

That's because Relic messed up and made it's near distance damage the exact same as it's Radius (4) so it does 120 damage perfectly in a radius of 4 from it's explosion center. Also it's classified as light artillery for ~reasons~

So yeah it's basically a gammon bomb but with a better AoE profile :sibHyena:

The stock Churchill HP should be decreased to 1280, and cost increased to 180 fuel. Yes it really needs a heavy nerf. Churchill spam ruined late team games. Just no fun to play against the Churchill spam.


It is laughable, God forbid Allies having a tank that can stand longer than 10 seconds?

Axis got no Ele, Jadgtiger in late teamgame? So tell me how do Churchill "spam" roll over the Jadg?

This.

Not to mention Pak walls, Raketen, Shrek blobs and the "standard" fair of tanks.

Axis just isn't used to actually having to "work" at killing a tank, nor the disappointment of expending a crap load of resources trying to kill it only to have it get away.

Big difference between "working to kill a tank" and combating often multiple 1600 hp "cheap-ish" tanks backed by fireflies.

Try a pak wall vs a croc and see how that works for you.

I was not aware allied tanks are so bad that they require a minimum of 1400 to 1600 HP to be considered viable.

The HP is just unreasonable, no tank should have above 1280. That simple.

Churchills are fine. the variants may be a bit much due to having functional weapons but the base version is doesn't actually kill anything.

Other than any weapon team it sees, sure.

if you're losing weapon teams to a churchill then you need to practice positioning and support. that nade takes forever to go off.

What? It has the fuse of a standard infantry grenade, less than a second. You can't dodge because your squad literally cannot move out of the kill radius before it goes off, even if you start moving the second you see the hatch come open- the equivalent to a throw animation.

I've played maybe twenty or so Brit games in pvp. Out of those, I have gone Hammer exactly once. Churchill nades are half the reason to buy the tank.

Churchill nades act like regular ones timer wise but do 120 damage over a perfect area of 4 with 0 drop off. Their bugged or Relic needs to uh, work on some stuff.

they take forever to fire though and have a tiny range on top of the churchill being slow as fuck. just back up, it won't hit anything moving. it is a strong ability but it's easier to dodge then any other grenade.

Churchill has better acceleration than an M10, as Alex will be quick to tell you. It's a lot more agile than you'd think.

Edit:

Let me put it this way. Recently in a 3v3 on La Gleize, I took a single Churchill and ordered it to drive up a Pak 43's cone of fire. It made it all the way to the gun, tossed a nade, wiped the Pak, and reversed back to my FOB without going under half health.
That's really all you need to know right there.
