I'm surprised they didn't buff trash Sexton.

I'd be happy if it had a bit shorter of a cooldown, but I dunno. When used with the valentine it can fire pretty frequently and it can dish out a ton of damage.


I'd love to use it more to really get a feel for it, but it's fucking impossible. By the time you can get 9 cp's and the resources to call out a valentine and a sexton, you're facing down medium tanks.

I'm not very quick to say things are unviable. I think it's a terrible word that people use to describe "hard to use", but jesus christ on a pickle I haven't been able to make royal artillery work at all in any semblance of a real game. I'm still trying to get it to click by focusing on playing a longer t2 and not even teching up to t3 but it's risky as hell to play Brits without proper armour. (It's possible, but I find it difficult)

Using the sexton on its own just seems like doing the doctrine wrong, it's meant to be used in synergy with the valentine. But getting both of them and then keeping the valentine alive to vet 1 is just UGHGHLA>kndcl.asnbf right now.

Have you ever tried to get trashcan (I'm sorry, Valentine) to vet1? It deals 80 dmg with its gun and it is slow for such light tank

You forgot the nerf Sexton option in the poll, gotta be fair you know?


Seriously though it needs major buffs. Brits already have base artillery regardless of faction, there is no incentive to waste fuel on this piece of crap.

Rate of fire is what I care about. Damagewise that's twice as much as a T70, with much better armour.

omg never mind, ive thought about the base arty from brits, both are in need of a buff my mistake

I thought it read "Section" as well.

I don't use this unit often and the complaints about it don't help. In my own experience it seems the design is a Sexton+ Valentine combo as optimal usage...but that obviously means the closest you can get to Sexton useful is Valentine being in the field and effectively slaved to it.
