Dude I love how your channel has grown over time! I have been here since your channel had under 2k subs. I appreciate the daily uploads of pain paired with classical music. Keep it up!
churchill is a tank where often enemy can't do shit about you, but the joy is often short-lived since you realise that you also can't do shit about the enemy and so contest of "who will destroy enemy gun first" begins
1:35 there’s currently a bug literally nothing ricochets. you can test it out, but there’s some incredibly weird angles you can pen. for now until it’s fixed, it only has to have enough pen to go through, ignoring ricochet chance.
I do not believe you, because my 13mm of metal on the PT-76-B bounced a fucking Tiger E *twice in a goddamn row* yesterday. it legitimately stunlocked me; I spent like 20 mins after the match trying to figure out how I lived
How would you face an IS-2 in a Churchill. The highest churchill is 4.7 and the lowest IS-2 is 6.0. If you're bringing the Churchill to 5.0 that's a skill issue because the 4.7 lineup is still good in an uptier.
I have experienced this as well with the Churchill. It's such a shame to encounter a panther and not be able to penetrate any scrap of his frontal armor!
British main here. I don’t have bushes and I play this thing a bunch; it’s *really good* so long as you have the situational awareness to not get shot in the side.
The British 75mm rounds need a penetration buff or APHE rounds. I am aware that the British emptied American APHE shells of their filler and filled the cavity with iron or concrete, but that should be modeled in game instead of simply being a worse 75. If the Russian shells are anything to go by, these rounds probably won’t have that much more penetration that the APHE shells, but more pen is never a bad thing.
I dont know if anyone has mentioned but ever since i and maybe others recommended you started making a bit longer videos, it has been well worth it. I still love to watch you play rather than to deal with warthunder and play it myself. :) Keep up the good work
Having recently built a lineup around the Italian Fireflies, I can say two things: Solid shot fucks if you can aim worth a damn. Churchills are some of the most fun I've had duelling. Both the turret ring and the inner mantlet are weak spots you can hit without volumetric bouncing your shells using an RNG chart, unlike IS and KV tanks.
Watching Malzi play War Thunder: I can’t wait to get home and play this game for a little while. Actually playing War Thunder: -hours of misery and pure unfiltered rage-
Well, they can't front pen you, only with apcr. While you can front pen the KV-85 and the T-34-85 at the turret cheeks, but it can be tricky due to volumetric.
Angling is your best friend in a Churchill. They can’t pen an angled Churchill VII with anything. Just keep your turret facing away until it’s time to fire and you’ll be fine.
Your channel has great Destiny, comrade your videos are good and The sound efects make it even better, keep going with this You Will have great success
I really enjoy watching your videos, they help me learn how to play better in Warthunder and I think it would be awesome to to play in a squad with you
The ZiS 30 shot reminds me of a lot of bullshit deaths of mine that keep happening even today. Super steep angle? Penn directly to ammo dead. Hit the barrel? Go straight through the turret face through the thickest part like it's not even there. Oh and my personal favorite that one time when 100mm APHE hit the front plate of my t55a at the worst possible angle and still killed me somehow somehow going straight through it....
I'm getting 4.7 Tanks with UK and didn't pay too much attention to the Churchill just for being slow, now this vid changes my opinion and makes me want to use it. Thank you Malzi, Great vid.
And I wish I could say the same , it's been almost always full uptiers for me with my Churchill III's and NA 75's, I hope VII is different, 25% Driving 25% Getting One tapped and 50% Drinking Tea 😂. #Gaijined 🍻
Its funny how easily an angled Churchill can shut down an entire chokepoint. All you need to do is sit there and be a concrete wall and watch +5 enemy tanks struggle to kill you. Unless someone figures out how to overpressures you. Fuck overpressure
I'm seeing a distinct lack of every single shot hitting the giant armour holes in the front and side, or hitting the turret roof and somehow deflecting downward Also a distinct lack of every single enemy being a panther than can ignore your armour
The sloped turret roof is so easy to exploit even at range. I feel bad one shotting a Churchill mk 7 with a 3.7 gun but I'm also doing them a favor so they can wise up and not take that thing into battle unless they're trying to do an assists challenge.
Prime minister mk7 is fun though, despite how slow and being kill stealed everytime. You got your score as a moving bunker (absorbing shots) for the most part
Churchill is fantastic at grinding out assist challenges and just being an absolute pest. You struggle to kill stuff, but excel at just being in the way and constantly shooting off barrels and tracks letting your team take the killshots.
which is weird considering Britain had mostly solid shot guns, some considered the best AT guns in the war, then exported them around the world because they were the best, then everyone else switched over to using only solid ammo... HMMMMM wonder if it's supposed to actually be good?
@@MsArchitectschannel well it's Gaijin magic that made APHE do HE damage and spall in a sphere AoE when it's barely better than solid shot irl, arguably worse in some cases.
if am correct the Churchill tanks main gun would penetrate Shermans side armour like the type 97 chi ha the Soviet tanks are more a interesting one though take care my friend!
What's hilarious is that British 75mm guns were entirely capable of using American ammunition and the best round used in the 75s are even called M61, they just don't have explosive filler because Gaijin has dictated that Britain isn't allowed to have fun.
Why am I thinking, that if you got hit by 50kg flying with 500-1000kmph shell, it supposed to have some damage even on tank. Irl there were histories, when tanks turrets just flew off, because of mass of the enemies shell
Most funny thing to do with the churchill is getting it to the enemy's cap point (I think it's battle with the two points.) without getting seen on the large shit maps. Making them panic and try to kill you with every thing they got.
Churchills can’t be pen by low BR (rank 2 and sometimes rank 3) until you hit their lower track on their side, but it must be flat and not angled even slightly
3:07 average Churchill gameplay
Dude I love how your channel has grown over time! I have been here since your channel had under 2k subs. I appreciate the daily uploads of pain paired with classical music. Keep it up!
Yea man, been here for ages and i love his upload schedule. whenever i check, theres always a malzi video to watch
"Churchill is fun", yeah for those who kills it ☠️☠️☠️
@Char 2C Totally agree, almighty french baguette.
Nothing like William Tell Overture to make you pumped up for action and speed, while also weirdly feeling a bit comical at the same time.
Well said. :)
Did you really use word "speed" for a video of a Churchill gameplay? 😂
churchill is a tank where often enemy can't do shit about you, but the joy is often short-lived since you realise that you also can't do shit about the enemy and so contest of "who will destroy enemy gun first" begins
So true
1:35 there’s currently a bug literally nothing ricochets. you can test it out, but there’s some incredibly weird angles you can pen. for now until it’s fixed, it only has to have enough pen to go through, ignoring ricochet chance.
Angle Meta is dead, we face directly at the enemy now
@@ChutneyGames German mains: my time has come!
I do not believe you, because my 13mm of metal on the PT-76-B bounced a fucking Tiger E *twice in a goddamn row* yesterday. it legitimately stunlocked me; I spent like 20 mins after the match trying to figure out how I lived
Are they trying to fix t-34 finally?
Malzi : Churchill is Fun
Me : Get fully uptiered every single match and get lol penned by Panthers and IS-2s
Edit:Thank God IS-2 got gaijined
How would you face an IS-2 in a Churchill. The highest churchill is 4.7 and the lowest IS-2 is 6.0. If you're bringing the Churchill to 5.0 that's a skill issue because the 4.7 lineup is still good in an uptier.
@@l.bakker7563 yeah he probably didn't play Churchill in a long time and is talking about his past experience when IS-2 was still 5.7
I have experienced this as well with the Churchill. It's such a shame to encounter a panther and not be able to penetrate any scrap of his frontal armor!
At its Br its a beast thou
@@l.bakker7563 yeah good at 5.7 just 3 Panthers 2 tiger a panzerIV/70 a plethora of German tank destroyers a Sherman with hvap maybe a m18 etc...
2:58 "Finally. A worthy foe. Our battle shall be legendary!"
I would say a churchill and kv-1 fighting is like too really fat people try to kill each other with slaps only
Literally unkillable, my favourite tank in the game by far
It would be even better if gaijin fixed British AP rounds🥲
@@pyroace5617what British?
my guy prob not been APHE'd by the Russian T34s and KVs
@@nishio6453 if you know how to jiggle your Churchill and angle they won't do shit
Malzi isn't showing off the churchill he's showing off how overpowered bushes are... Do this again without the bushes
British main here. I don’t have bushes and I play this thing a bunch; it’s *really good* so long as you have the situational awareness to not get shot in the side.
The Churchill MK1 can be fun too, if you get a decent down tier.
Love HE on the hull gun, pretty quick solution if you can't pen a wolverine 😂
Or you can bait an open top in a corner with your main gun to think you shot and reloading and you dunk him with the hull gun 🤣
as long as you're in a position where losing both tracks isnt a death sentence, it cannot be taken down.
The British 75mm rounds need a penetration buff or APHE rounds. I am aware that the British emptied American APHE shells of their filler and filled the cavity with iron or concrete, but that should be modeled in game instead of simply being a worse 75. If the Russian shells are anything to go by, these rounds probably won’t have that much more penetration that the APHE shells, but more pen is never a bad thing.
My favourite tank. Love the sound of shells bonking of my armour
"Last Chance To Look At Me, Hector" that puma loved your spaa skill
I dont know if anyone has mentioned but ever since i and maybe others recommended you started making a bit longer videos, it has been well worth it.
I still love to watch you play rather than to deal with warthunder and play it myself. :)
Keep up the good work
I love playing the churchill. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I adore it at it's BR. Even bought the black price which super fun too
Literally. You go make the tea while you are waiting to crawl across the map..
Love it how classical music adds some sort of charm to usual war thunder video
Having recently built a lineup around the Italian Fireflies, I can say two things:
Solid shot fucks if you can aim worth a damn.
Churchills are some of the most fun I've had duelling. Both the turret ring and the inner mantlet are weak spots you can hit without volumetric bouncing your shells using an RNG chart, unlike IS and KV tanks.
You know it's gonna be an immaculate video when it starts with a classical masterpiece
I love Churchill because you can’t pen almost anything but nothing can pen you half the time
Every morning, I open RUclips and watch the daily War Thunder video with my 62 year old dad whose been playing since 2012.
got the churchill crocodile, already got a full setup for 4.7. this tank is so good, especially in a downtier
How to you get it? Battlepass?
Watching Malzi play War Thunder: I can’t wait to get home and play this game for a little while.
Actually playing War Thunder: -hours of misery and pure unfiltered rage-
Strange, I always seem to fight t34-85 and kv1-85s when I play the churchill.
Well, they can't front pen you, only with apcr. While you can front pen the KV-85 and the T-34-85 at the turret cheeks, but it can be tricky due to volumetric.
Same they're the biggest obstacle for a churchill. Always pray I get the Germans and not the Russians on the enemy team
Angling is your best friend in a Churchill. They can’t pen an angled Churchill VII with anything. Just keep your turret facing away until it’s time to fire and you’ll be fine.
28 seconds ago? That’s the fasted iv ever clicked on a video
The Churchill, nothing warms my heart quite like dumping a precise 50kg bomb on top of those things with assault fuse.
There are sim battles with the Churchill 7 against Panzer 3-4 sometimes. It's really fun when almost nobody can penetrate you even at close range.
Churchill in full downtier - I have become death
Churchill in full uptier - a big fucking embarrassment
Underidoderidoderiododeridoo - Winston Churchill
one must imagine british players happy
Love the channel. Keep up the work and giving us all a good laugh
Man i love you this video are incredible i love them
I cannot play a single churchill 7 without getting uptiered every single time and getting one shot
Skill issue
@@reckless20 It’s certainly not.Facing Panthers in Churchill should be illegal.
Your channel has great Destiny, comrade your videos are good and The sound efects make it even better, keep going with this You Will have great success
Finally, a fellow Churchill VII enjoyer
Thanks for your videos. You'll help me to fight depression daily.
Thanks bro
Im close to having it. Cant wait
the greatest churchill battle is when it encounters another churchill.
Yeah, Churchill fan here. It's hard to believe how nimble (ninble, not fast, lol) a beast that size can be. S2
Churchill armor be invincible until a Sturer Emil looks at it.
I really enjoy watching your videos, they help me learn how to play better in Warthunder and I think it would be awesome to to play in a squad with you
Churchill is funny, not a lot hurts you but you can’t hurt alot
Imagine seeing yourself in a Malzi video but youre one of the people who got slammed by a churchill
The slowmo "you got mail" got me lol
Do the flamethrower churchill, trust me is extra fun with a flamethrower.
1:28 bro I fucking can't with you Malzi 😂😂😂
Yes, Churchill is fun.
especially when T-34 eats 7 shells before go to hangar 0_0
The ZiS 30 shot reminds me of a lot of bullshit deaths of mine that keep happening even today.
Super steep angle? Penn directly to ammo dead.
Hit the barrel? Go straight through the turret face through the thickest part like it's not even there.
Oh and my personal favorite that one time when 100mm APHE hit the front plate of my t55a at the worst possible angle and still killed me somehow somehow going straight through it....
I killed a maus with my 2s3m HE by over pressuring his front plate. I sat in awe for about 45 secs
Bro has more bushes than an 80s corn star lol
PS you can shoot the bags on the sides of all churches to let it burn/damage the engine
If they ever buff solid AP thid thing will be even more of a beast.
I don’t think I have ever been 1 shot by a Churchill
I'm getting 4.7 Tanks with UK and didn't pay too much attention to the Churchill just for being slow, now this vid changes my opinion and makes me want to use it.
Thank you Malzi, Great vid.
Looking forward to actually having armor for when I unlock it in maybe 2-3 months.
i love the cartoon bite sound hehe
"That's a big bitch!" - me, every time I watch a Churchill trying to turn
And I wish I could say the same , it's been almost always full uptiers for me with my Churchill III's and NA 75's, I hope VII is different, 25% Driving 25% Getting One tapped and 50% Drinking Tea 😂. #Gaijined 🍻
The editing in this video had me laughing in the middle of my campus library 😳

The puma Gus clip got me
Prime minister mk7 is fun though, despite how slow and being kill stealed everytime.
You got your score as a moving bunker (absorbing shots) for the most part
And getting Assists
Churchill is fantastic at grinding out assist challenges and just being an absolute pest. You struggle to kill stuff, but excel at just being in the way and constantly shooting off barrels and tracks letting your team take the killshots.
I love this chinese "...Lee fao chaooo"
I am from Taiwan not Chinese
I keep watching you not kill Shermans and laughing.
How does one have fun using solid shot rounds?
which is weird considering Britain had mostly solid shot guns, some considered the best AT guns in the war, then exported them around the world because they were the best, then everyone else switched over to using only solid ammo... HMMMMM wonder if it's supposed to actually be good?
@@MsArchitectschannel well it's Gaijin magic that made APHE do HE damage and spall in a sphere AoE when it's barely better than solid shot irl, arguably worse in some cases.
Just aim for the center of mass, like with apds/apfsds and the spalling will do the rest or just aim for ammo.
That steep angle pen it's really weird and I noticed it on a Abrams too. The ufp is now pennable by everything:/
Average churchill gameplay, one of the hardest tanks to kill.
Expectation: this video
Reality: get uptiered and rekt by 5.7 Germans
if am correct the Churchill tanks main gun would penetrate Shermans side armour like the type 97 chi ha the Soviet tanks are more a interesting one though take care my friend!
notice how he didn't kill any tank with the same battle rate or higher than him. That's how churchill works
The gus part got me good 😂😂😂😂
gl penning anything at your tier
Finally the heavy tank has become relevant
I see you've been watching breaking bad
Churchill is god until You got uptiered, and your amor becomes useless
SoLId ShOt Is SO mUcH FUn
it needs the M61 APHE round, then it might be somewhat enjoyable
What's hilarious is that British 75mm guns were entirely capable of using American ammunition and the best round used in the 75s are even called M61, they just don't have explosive filler because Gaijin has dictated that Britain isn't allowed to have fun.
That last clip 💀
Waiting for "Archer is fun"
I've been loving the Croc. Feels so fun to troll the ever loving shit out of German tanks.
Watching the scene with the T34 is literally my life! Then i get swarmed by 2 more T34s
Why am I thinking, that if you got hit by 50kg flying with 500-1000kmph shell, it supposed to have some damage even on tank. Irl there were histories, when tanks turrets just flew off, because of mass of the enemies shell
I once somehow managed to kill a Churchill frontally with the ZSU-37
Most funny thing to do with the churchill is getting it to the enemy's cap point (I think it's battle with the two points.) without getting seen on the large shit maps. Making them panic and try to kill you with every thing they got.
For purely grinding would you recommend arcade or realistic battles?
Malzi use the sound bite from Bruce almighty where he goes OH COME ON
75mm Churchill is the tankiest tank of WW2
It may be a slow tank, but at 100 meters that 75mm hits like a bus.
Yeah not much at full uptiers too where you’re going to face Panthers and Tigers.
Some day they'll give the VII a variant with a 6pdr and APDS
But not today
who would win:
One russian bias or long british boat boi?
Those enemies were paid actors
1:36 isn’t that still outside the hull wtf
Gaijin moment.
The tracks are part of the hull in the churchill and it is a bs weakspot
ta bueno el vdeo sigue asi
That angry villager sound killed me
Why are British tanks the only ones I consistently have fun in? Am I damaged?
British solid AP experience
Churchills can’t be pen by low BR (rank 2 and sometimes rank 3) until you hit their lower track on their side, but it must be flat and not angled even slightly
Wait, there are people who don't shoot churchhill 7s in the forehead?
You and dollar plays should play together ❤
I honestly think the MKIII is just better, shot mk9 with 132mm pen doesn't fuck around
I love this thing its very fun but god does it suffer in uptiers.
