Can You Please Fix Churchill Crocs Rear Armor ?

In your scenario, if the croc run toward you, 2 panther and a pak can handle it event from the front since panther have enough pen, put your pak far behind and the croc will have a hell of a ride to touch it since it have to face 2 panther fist. Meanwhile, try to close in with infantry from the side, since croc's flame gun can only fire to the front, by doing this, you can get pgren to shoot in the croc's side, or force the croc to expose it side to panther/pak if it want to use flame again your inf, add a faust and the croc will not going any where. Those above are what i can recommend in your scenario but it not necessary the principal of any engagement.

Also, if your enemy support his croc with plenty of AT an infantry then i think he is doing combine arm pretty well, so "no brainer" is not a suitable description.

2 ATGs + Croc vs 2 Panthers + ATG + My Infantry trying to get past croc to force of ATGs. Well my level of needed combined arms seems even higher ?

Jilet it seems like you never or play very rarely Brits yourself, you should try the croc by yourself in at least 10 games.

It is a good tank but you also have to compare it to a Tiger, Is-2 or Pershing and for my experience i would take any of these 3 tanks over the croc.

And for the people who are crying for the main gun nerv, we had this state a few patches ago and i turned out the croc was UP, so it got buffed.

Why would you Compare croc churchill (flame tank, ai oriented) vs IS2 or tiger or Pershing (AT oriented generalist heavy)

They have NOTHING in common.

UKF with croc has the heaviest flamer unit in game. And no one bats an eye.

The problem with stugs their dps have been downgraded, while still have lousy pen and range. They no longer help if you are behind. Would save for panther than throw 2 stugs out to die.

He was using combine arm force to attack you, so he is not a "nobraner" isn't he. Playing again an enemy who has a plan and know what he is doing, how do you expect to win ? A move in to him with you army ? I dont think so, you will need a higher lv of combined arm skill.

Panther dps lol...

So Jackson RoF is 6.3s, while the PV is 6.4s. FF is 8s, while Su85 is 5.4s.
PIV RoF is 5.4s. T3485/Comet is 6.15s and E8 been at 6.3s.

Still true though!

They cost the same and arrive at the same time.
The croc is super good vs inf and support weapons while its mediocre against tanks and slow but has therefor good armor.
IS2, Tiger and Pershing are good ai and at and a bit more mobile but with less HP and worse armor.

They all fulfill they same role, they are good against everything but long range at.

I don't see any good reason the rear armor should be 180

If lowering they number hurts the Croc so much, lower it's cost a little

I don't see how anyone could have a problem with this idea, and someone mentioned this on the first page

I honestly don't understand why any tank needs rear armor above 100. It's not like you're driving up rear first, and if you're banking on a rear armor bounce you've already fucked up somewhere.

They really should just do away with 180 rear armors and implement a skin on tanks that say "THIS WAY FORWARD!!! ->"
