      Honestly point blank should be estimated on the relative angle of the shot
      Since, point blank range used to mean where there was no need to elevate one's sights or adjust ranging in any way

      I wonder if they had some additional gunpowder bags/discs for the dustbins to increase the range irl, because a mortar with only 150 meters of effective range sounds like a bad joke.

      you can change how fast the scroll wheel changes the distance in controls (mouse wheel multiplier), but you can also bind increasing and decreasing the distance as well as resetting it instantly back to zero to keys on your keyboard (sight distance control: increase value, decrease value, reset axis value), since you can set the speed at which holding a key changes the distance (sight distance control: relative control sensitivity and multiplier) and the instant reset is even more useful, although obviously you still have to wait for the gun itself to depress.

      It would depend, if, and this is a massive IF, Gaijin added some more thematic missions, like some of Wargamming's special events, this could be useful.
      One example would be recreating the Dieppe raid, and having the UK/USA attacking points Germany/Italy are supposed to defend, with alternate flank routes being able to be opened by using enough explosives.
      Beyond that, this tank is way to dependent on getting close range maps like ruined city and Poland.

      Ive also heard that its true maximum range was closer to 230m instead of the awful 100-150m that its got ingame, but ive heard varying accounts on that
      If it just had a range of damage that was larger than a pinhead then it may actually be worthwhile

      @deepbludreams 5 месяцев назад +35

      It was mildly worse in real life, it has to be reloaded externally, as in a hatch opened in the hull roof and a guy flipped the barrel down to reload it by sticking his hands outside the tank with a huge HE round, this would not be so bad if the AVRE was not intended to attack fortifications full of machineguns or something.
      the US tested the Petard system and found it to be so unsatisfactory that it believed using a M12 Gun Motor Carriage was considerably safer for the anti-bunker role, and that says alot considering the M12 is a 155MM artillery piece with almost no armor, but it did not have to engage from sub machinegun range like the AVRE did.

      @@deepbludreams I mean, yeah. Reloading was much worse irl but on the other hand, it was more meant to be an engineer vehicle - obstacle removal (any kind of obstacles). Basically: fire once, clear the road. If advancing bunkers etc.: fire, clear, smoke, reverse/give cover to infantry. Also it meant to be supported by Crocodiles or other vehicles (not just go on its own). But yeah, I think Brits didn't really like it either and that's why they've made things with 95mm howitzer or taking 105 Shermans.
      EDIT: I've allowed myself to dig into Churchills AVRE and Churchills in general, and as far as I can see, AVREs were doing pretty okay job with clearing things (bunkers etc) - mostly due to its armour. Can't read anything about anybody getting for example hit while reloading the AVRE even during the battle. Reloading was indeed pain in the ass, but if it works then works I guess.

  • @TheFirestormable
    @TheFirestormable 5 месяцев назад +10

    be thankful its handwaved the reload. the actual AVRE petard is a spigot mortar. The reload is done via a hatch behind the driver, under the gun. If they made it accurate, after every shot you'd have to point the gun forward and then expose the loaders arms to, well everything, by sticking their arms out the top.
    IDK why they added this vehicle to WT other than a box ticketing exercise. You don't fight concrete bunkers.

    I feel like this calls for playing the complete opposite, which is just the CV90120 for something with no armor but decent mobility, range and an AP round and is also importantly still a tracked vehicle rather than wheeled.
    Also i genuinelly believe that if the commander just pulled out a bazooka from the hatch, it'd be more effective than the actual mortar launcher it has.

    This thing genuinely feels like a scam. If it was like 10-15k for a tier I'd understand since it's a joke vehicle. But full on 35k for a pretty bad tank is ridiculous, and when people complained about it asking why it was that much, the moderator on the Gajin page just linked to the page explaining how the new event system works...

      That's because it's not a conventional tank as such. It's a vehicle specifically designed for bunker-busting and obstacle clearance. It did its job very effectively in the Normandy campaign especially when working with a Crocodile and even managed to knock out German Panther it encountered.
