Yes... this is where the painful part of the british heavy line starts. Surprisingly this tank worked better than the Black Prince for me which was by far the worst of the line... maybe it's because the gun on this is tier for tier better than the one on the Black Prince but I'm not sure.
Remember to bring a good book to read for the large maps, I spend a lot of time chasing the fight. Good news is I’ve always got a lot of HP at the end when I get swarmed 😂
Playing through the tiers 5 6 and 7 is payment you must make before being allowed to drive the tiers 8 9 and 10. It's worth it though as they're lovely tanks
Churchill I, fully upgraded, is a solid tier 5 sniper and its slow speed means it remains accurate even on the move - this means you can lay down a lot of ammo at the enemy while making forward progress, but yeah, vs tier 6 it starts to lose out every single time in a gunfight, and at 7 you have to stay so far back as to make you a really poor TD. It just cannot afford to get into trades with the enemy at all as they will either just chip away at you with pewpew guns and retreat, or hit you for big damage and deny you any hope of fighting back.
I prefer actually smaller gun with faster releaf. For some reason it gave me better experience (matchmaking sucked when using top gun) than the top gun... But yeah, this far cry from Churchill III
I have to be honest, i have no clue why this tank is rated so bad and the churchill 3 is an epic tank. churchill 3 has bad armor and speed even with turbo, and convincing anyone to sit in front of you and let you burst them is a challenge.
Hey don't knock the Churchill, it's my most played tank! I sold the VII and the Black Prince as soon as I'd finished with them but I've always kept the I. Then again I have got a six skill crew in it which helps, especially when you're tracked which happens a lot. You can even get bounces off the turret if you remember to quickly twitch your gun to the side after a shot.
I actually had ton of fun with its successor the Churchil VII because it is just a spammer, and even lost i always got good DPM... Although the speed is just losing part when bunch of kids running at you with gold ammo + T34-85M premium MT that outplays heavies.
Hi Skill, can you please add some analysis to these blitz games? Can you please check the team stats? i.e. if you win 15 to 3, how much total battles played (experience) is on your team vs. how much on enemy team?.... I have had a check from time to time and as always it is skewed to one side. WG say that the MM doesn't take player experience into it but I believe they are not being truthful. I believe that this is why we are having quick battles. One side is always much more experienced and this is done intentionally.
I don't know... I liked this tank before I had Churchill VII... that is even better. It is slow but comparing to AT-2, AT-7... these are really slow. As a heavy tank it's not that bad... Quite fast gun, penetration is average however I would rate it as average tank. For me with Arnold Schwarzeneger inside... it was actually quite good :)
Y, gave it a go, better with the pew pew pee pee gun. Ur missing pen but gain tier iv tank hp worth of dpm and some gun depression that makes u able to do some sneaky stuff. Also I noticed enemies sometimes seem to fear the power of pew pew and it's 1.8s reload and retreat in stupid ways, which is rly funny and easy to punish.
Hi Skill. Thanks for all your daily content. I have to ask, how do you deal with the current wot situation? I tried just now one hour of the game and it is impossible. like 10 games in one hour, all 15 to 5 or less. winning or losing doesn't matter. How do you cope with this? Could be nice a video about it. Thanks, king baboon
yes, some days this is really bad, and nothing you can do on it. today for me was a more lucky day with just 15 battles in 2 hours, but i quitt when i was dead, only 5 i survived. Some of the battle took quite a time for the only 2or 3 survivors. In the end i still had a winrate of 8/17. last wwek i had a great session. nothing i could do to avoid a 12/14 winrate. so most of the battles ended with slaughter of red team. so look forward to the days you are lucky - with winrate or with intense battles you can enjoy to the max. It will happen, not if is the question, it is the when.
I'm relatively okay. I remember back in the days battles are very campy, ends in draw a lot, and people are complaining a lot about slow games with too many TDs and artys. WG removed some of the campier maps, buffed the speed of a lot of slow tanks, introduced faster tanks, and introduced turbo -- and now we have this current meta. I just want WG to fix some of the easier to do stuffs by rebalancing the terrain resistance field mods (that is stupid because the traverse nerf is cancelled by terrain resistance so it's just straight buff to mostly heavies) and limit some maps that have no business to be in high tier (Ensk, Mines). I know that is expecting too much though, WG seems to be unable to do simple stuffs that would fix a lot of fundamental issues and insisting on complex solutions that often just adds new issues.
you see, im playing only world of tanks, so im kind of used for this state allready, and if i see the game is 15-1 im just moving to other game w.o overthinking too much
@@skill4ltuextra thanks for reply. I understand your point, also I guess it's important to take it with humor / not too serious, trying to have fun... In my case i am a free 2 play user. I really thought about investing bit of money (did once 30€), but I'm not sure no more. Seeing the amount of ppl playing wot is going down, i guess WG has to monetarize the game more with premiums and lootboxes.
Quite a good cannon and I could not find more advantages. In my opinion it is the worst heavy tank of the 5th tier. And I must point out that I only played with other 5 and sometimes 4 tier(20 battles).
Oh yeaaaaaaaaaah this is one of the best HT's P.S. It's a hidden Gem stop lying that's bad 🤪 It's epic hidden gem because i got 93.5 MoE while i was grinding it... Just kidding it's not epic but i would rate this tank as playable/good especially when it's vs tier IV-V tanks and new players... Yeah if you are meeting normal players or even the bad/new players that knows how to use the 2nd key it's becoming bad/terrible tank... 😢 But still i kinda liked to play with it even knowing the fact i don't like the sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow tanks... 🙄
If you're going to keep the baboon transition, please please can you change the bright flash at the end to a dark fade and drop the volume on the sound effect? Most video cuts silently fade to black because it's subtle. The bright flash and sound are especially unpleasant for anyone viewing late at night. A design rule to live by is, "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." I'm sorry to say transitions like this one don't usually age well.
I loved that VK. The only tank I've marked to 100%, and I didn't even try... it just happened. It has the best gun in the tier, so the secret is, you just need to play it like a TD. Find a good, bushy spot and shoot them all.
Thank you for your reply. I have had one good game with it and play like TD is what I did. Perhaps I made a mistake taking repairs with the crew and I should instead have chosen camoflage
@@Dick-Dastardly NP The tank is just too slow and its armor is not really reliable for any kind of offensive gameplay, but it has a great gun... so those properties alone determine its role on the battlefield. Yes, it can serve as a support tank, depending of matchmaking and circumstances, but in the long run, the most efficient way is to play it as a TD. And yes, camo skills would be a better option, but you can still chose hard cover positions and shoot from the range, just because of that great gun it has.
Please make video on Skoda T40 Mr Skill Thanks for this one to. Churchill is one of my next to grind. I really look forward to the grind now :-(. Ok, the last battle showed there can be some hope.
SKIIIIEEEEEEL I recently marked this vehicle in 101 battles and 60% winrate and I can agree that this tank is not that great :D 25km/h with 0 armor what so ever and "small gun" in a way is not very good compination in my opinion. Now I am trying to mark Churchill VII and I can tell you all guys... that tank is even worse ;)
I am saving my free xp since I've already through the churchills. I've played through the stock is 4 line and It's been enough. Canarveon should be better lol
It's weird seeing Churchill I without the tier IV QF 6-pdr MRK. III Gun. Everyone who likes and plays this tank has the tier IV gun it's just like the small pp 57mm KV-1 gun. SO ANNOYING!
Skill, you didnt play the 57 mm gun on that tank. 400 more base dpm, 180 apcr pen. Its the same gun as 13 57... reload can go sub 1.8, that is where that tank and the other slow tanks shine, pew pew pew boom. 3.6 sec 150, 7.2 sec 300, 10.8 sec 450, i mean the ck 7201 is at 15 and the new wz is 15 ish aswell for 500, hmmm.. Might you play a few with dirty gold load out for the views.... please ......... 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌

Skill could take a cup cake into battle and make it look awesome.
I love how Skill makes every bad tank work somehow :D
Ayy I like the new transition/teleportation Animation between garage and the battle!

You can't meet Tier VIII. Mostly, you'll be fighting against other V or low-tier against VI.
didn't mind the church 1, but church 7 sucked and black prince is what free xp is for
haha well maybe because the Churchill 1 and Black prince have nearly the same except for a little pen :(((
Same with czech line. Tier 6 is amazing , then after that the nightmare starts with tier 7 and 8. And with tier 9 you can enjoy the game again.
Remember to bring a good book to read for the large maps, I spend a lot of time chasing the fight. Good news is I’ve always got a lot of HP at the end when I get swarmed 😂
Well if it maters, think as u would be a TOG... U will make everyone else happy apart from urselves... :D :D :D
5:48 - nice segue. *Fun in mid-tier care-in-the-community.
For some reason (probably because I am English) I have a soft spot for my Churchill.
Playing through the tiers 5 6 and 7 is payment you must make before being allowed to drive the tiers 8 9 and 10. It's worth it though as they're lovely tanks
I guess peraonally not a fan of the churchills but i did like black prince
@@petermikus2363 I remember the black Prince having slightly more effective armour but it still wasn't great
@@justjosh11 yeah it had little chance against tier 8 and 9 but the turret was sturdy and the gun was quite fun however the caern is mutch better

it seems the only advantage churchill 3 has is that it never gets into t7 matchmaking, but I agree, the churchill 1 with the 76mm gun looks better

I'll never get the hatred people have for the British heavy line before Caernarvon. They are all nice, especially the Black Prince.

Can you play with SU-76G FT, chinease tier 4 td? Imo its kinda broken and it eats alive all vechicles alive
Nice 3D baboon transition animation 😊
Nightmare? Yeah, nightmare to play it.
Sidescraping with Churchill which can be tracked+damaged at the same time by frontal shots? Dont really agree here mr. Baboon King... :D
5:31 🤣🤣🤣
I free experienced this thing, I refused to play this piece of kakoo to get the knarvrarororon
Skiiiilllll, the Churchill !!!!!!! you could have played with the VK30.02D
This tank is great , cromwell's gun on tier5.
Thank you
i was the achilles on the other team(first game) ,nice to see you in battle :)
Skill, will you do a M3 Lee video?
Please will you show VK30.01H. On the index it says epic but when I play it seems more like a big pile of .....

Imo the tier 6 churchill is worse for it tier, because of longer grind with the further weaknesses of the tier 5 lol
EXTRA dose of skill
Please make video on Skoda T40 Mr Skill
Thanks for this one to. Churchill is one of my next to grind. I really look forward to the grind now :-(. Ok, the last battle showed there can be some hope.
Edit:6:02 Its like my most games in WOT,top dmg and team do nearly zero dmg.
As a tier 5 this tank rocks. Admittedly the next two are not very good at all.
The armor works if your enemy does not know where to shoot
I love this tank, on the enemy side! Tanks Skill!
This tank has only one redeeming feature and that's HV gun ... if there's good gun any potato can produce decent results, e.g. VK3001H :)

This tank might be not great, but this is the also the tank where I got my Radley-Walters medal. XD
Huzzah!
my 1st LOVE

I am very sad your ending ROOOUUUUUUUHHH dispeared few videos ago, i feel like videos miss something now.. 😐
This aint a tank, i have eggs break less often when smacking them to a wall.

It's unplayable I can't hate living every time I play this shit!!
Hi sir baboon
yep, churchill is a bit fragile :P
Churchill I is garbage (even with small gun which is better than the Churchill III gun by the way). Churchill III is OP. Got it.
Asking for VK 30.01 (H) day 22
༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
I would like to see not using gold with this tank and great equipment which beginners cant afford, this is not as much challenge as it should be
Hahaha not used a Chrurchill since x360 days awful tank in everyway
day 42 T21
Now Murovanka is OK, but pre change I loved Murovanka with a light tank, go into the forest make 1-2 circles and boom 5+k spot dmg easy peasy.
