The churchills were the only tanks Brits had that could get up close and personal. Now they have a shitty gun and shredded paper exterior. It can barely fight tanks and can't spearhead like it used to. What good is it then? It's a waste of 180 fuel and free HP for the panthers. The croc is the only good one that can at least scare away or melt infantry, but for 230 fuel its a risk to build unless you have comet or firefly support for AT. And like 3 to 4 engineers cause it constantly needs to be repaired. BB guns penetrate the damn things even. Its pathetic that all the axis fan boys cried cause they were actually competition for them tank wise and they got nerfed into the ground.
I think the churchills (mkvii and croc) need their old armor back or some of it. For being heavy tanks basically everything penetrates. Because if this the higher HP pool means nothing. Theses tanks are slower than molasses and have a crappy gun against tanks. I don't know why everyone complained to the point of a fat nerf and a price increase. One or the other would have been fine. What's the point a spearhead unit with crappy gun if it can't spearhead in with support.
