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.

It doesn't matter due to Churchill being a slow tank. Sure, it can reach its top speed fast but it is still a slow tank. Saying Churchill is agile is a big over statement.

FYI top speed means absolutely nothing in this game because you will almost never reach it on most tanks on most maps. Acceleration is everything because it allows you to make turns, correct pathing issue and whatnot a lot faster.

Oh, if it means nothing then technically Churchill should be able to chase or get away from lets say Panther.
Oh wait...
At least be gardening reasonable with your counter arguments.

The amount of time that the Panther will take to accelerate and match the Churchills speed and overcome it is about ~2 seconds and some change. This is also not even touching at the fact why are you chasing a Churchill with a Panther you ponce he's got 2 6 Pounders waiting to slap your ass.
I hope this points out to you the issue is you shouldn't get a tank with one of the best acceleration values into the entire game, the best health in the entire game, the ability to throw gammon bombs at people with regular grenade timers and larger AoE, ect all for just 150 fuel.

Once again because logic is somehow lost on you.
It doesn't matter if Churchill accelerates faster if can only reach a fraction of the speed of a Panther as in this example.
| | acceleration: 3.5f;
| | deceleration: 3.5f;
| | high_path_look_ahead_max_dist: 25f;
| | on_ice_accel_decel_multiplier: 0.3f;
| | on_ice_overturn_scale: 0.5f;
| | on_land_overturn_scale: 0.1f;
| | orient_to_terrain: true;
| | pass_type: "heavy_crusher";
| | rotation_rate: 32f;
| | rotation_rate_crouch: 870f;
| | rotation_rate_prone: 225f;
| | rotation_rate_stand: 870f;
| | smooth_path: true;
| | speed_max: 4f;
| moving_ext: {
| | $REF: "ebpextensions\moving_ext.lua";
| | acceleration: 2.4f;
| | deceleration: 4.5f;
| | high_path_look_ahead_max_dist: 25f;
| | on_ice_accel_decel_multiplier: 0.15f;
| | on_ice_overturn_scale: 3f;
| | on_land_overturn_scale: 0.03f;
| | orient_to_terrain: true;
| | pass_type: "heavy_crusher";
| | rotation_rate: 30f;
| | rotation_rate_crouch: 870f;
| | rotation_rate_prone: 225f;
| | rotation_rate_stand: 870f;
| | smooth_path: true;
| | speed_max: 6.6f;
| | turn_plan: "tank_i";

Good thing it isn't a fraction then.

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.

Also Panther decelerates much faster which is good for all those accurate "no moving penalty" shots.

IIRC the moment you hit the 'Stop' key, vehicles lose their moving accuracy penalty, even while they decelerate.
