    I remember the frustration of grinding out my 10.3 Americans while getting the stages for the AVRE.
    It has a max range, the gun is impossible to wing shot outside collision range, has no reverse gear, and only gets the BESA as a reliable weapon.
    And it’s the best fun I’ve had since the BT-42 was added.

    Imagine getting 30 smoke grenades and almost never using them in "The Melee Churchill." You have the tools to close the distance and just never use them, lol.

    Ngl as a sturmtiger enjoyer this thing was a dream tank so far, granted the range is disappointing, but I loved getting to 13 kills without dying (respawned to a total of 15 kills). What I found helpful and what you often failed to do Tankenstein was rangefinding EVERYTHING until you get pused to to the drop. (For me previous sturmtiger experience made it a quick conversion for me, as well as allowed me to not notice the reload length even with 2 crew)

    This thing is the most fun i've had in quite a long time. It's really easy to just track you and stay away, but newbies doesn't quite understand that. It's definetly a seal clubber, but it's also so much fun!

    You can speed up the elevation scroll in the configuration menu.
    Don't know why people are so surprised at the short range and slow velocity. It's job IRL was to smash fortifications, bunkers etc, not fight other tanks.
    Just like all the AVRE's, the Sturm"tiger", the "Brummbar" etc. Never meant to combat other armoured vehicles.
    But Gaijin want to add more and more "FOMO" vehicles and more vehicles in general to keep up interest and try to sidestep the still glaring problems in the base game.
    So we end up with SPAA being more effective as a TD, self propelled artillery being used as tanks and the snail constantly stuffing around with BR changes, ammo effect changes and random nerfing/buffing to try to keep the appearance of the last semblance of "balance."

    I took out a Tiger over the weekend in up-tier, very satisfying. Made up for the dozen plus times I died with zero kills in this thing, lol. Even in an up-tier, it's still a Churchill and it can take a wallop but that cannon...

  • @DanSpam225
    @DanSpam225 4 месяца назад

    really good fun vehicle despite its flaws. i'd love it though if the avre turret was on the crocodile hull/trailer. that combo would be amazing at 2.7 for close combat and give the flamethrower more use given how more vehicles are open top.

      @@Endermann111 That is true for a Tankenstein decal or tank but he still gets some goodies.
      Anyway, he plays for over 12 years, he plays top tier. And still he has mediocre crew levels like someone playing the game for a year or so. I play WT for 2+ years now and most nations have lvl 100+ crews, Germany and USSR 8 Slots lvl 130-150, mostly aced up from BR 1.0 to 7.0.
      I must admit that I play this game way too often and did spend way too much money but if I played this game for over a decade and got some free GE every month I would have every vehicle, maximum crew slots and every crew on lvl 150 and aced for sure.

  • @rory4.63
    @rory4.63 4 месяца назад

    I think this tank needs its BR raised a bit. Not cause the gun, the gun is a skill cannon. But because of the armor. At 2.7 its pretty much impossible to kill it unless you use some tank killer trucks. You really have to hit the mortar thats in the barrel to kill it at that BR.

    So what this is is gaijins first effort to incorporate indirect fire into the game. Once the data from this is processed, be looking for m109 and Vidar to be able to fire indirectly and get kills behind hills and obstacles. Probably.

    1 or 2 days ago I destroyed a Churchill AVRE in a 1.7 br match and I once I saw it before it neutralized it, I realized that it must be new and literally I neutralized it using a 37mm gun aiming down the barrel of the new Churchill AVRE and then above my tv screen it said Target Destroyed, and I was completely surprised that I actually neutralized one on the first battle against it.

      @nineonine9082 4 месяца назад

      Hard to say, because other heavy tanks easily get 10 kills, if anything I say fighting 1.7 tanks is harder than 3.7 tanks, they are smaller, faster and fire more often so they have more chances to ammorack you.

    No doubt this thing no way worth the grind its gonna be fun for a short time and that's about it because people can just shoot the barrel and it ones shots the Petard or you just gonna get CAS on you or if people were smart then would take something that has high pen like a tank destroyer and just shoot from fat and the petard cant do crap.
    The SturmTiger you can actually kill enemy from the spawn and that was always fun waiting to see if you hit or killed an enemy tank.
