Good day everyone,
So a new British TD has hit supertest in two variations (and for those curious, this particular beast was dug up from the National Archives by Ed Francis, a friend of the blog, who hints that we may be seeing some more bizarre British machines in the foreseeable future):

British engineer at its finest
This is the most ugliest thing I’ve seen so far, but hey, the one without 450 alpha seems ok. At least it’s not a tier 8 OP moneygrab.
what the everloving fuck is that kill it before it lays eggs!
It’s afraid!
This is why the germans made the panzerschreck.
Blast it to hell
owoooooooooooooooooooooow, it is beautiful!
Muh ugly baby 😉
no mention of it being a premium and hint we will see more, means this is the beginning of new branch in the techtree?
fuck me does it kill by ugly?
JESUS FUCK IS HORRENDOUS.
at lest is something new and non clone.
Have to agree that is one ugly s.o.b

so much I want to write about the priorities we, the most of the players, feel the British TT needs but I don’t want to write a long text, let’s just say that if this is a sign of a future line then they should at least try to add the Chieftain and light tank lines before it
the tank in itself look odd and with that said I wonder if the rest is more of these odd turreted SPG/TD like things or if there will also be non-turreted ones
70 penetration? is that for real?
for the 120mm DERP, according to WG
*** Penetration: 165/192/70 mm 150 alpha
Accuracy: 0.48
Aiming time: 3.5 s
Gun Traverse Limits: 90 / 90 degrees ****
VERY not a Tank Destroyer in every way
complete utter garbage tank from WG
the Tier 5 Stug TD is better in every way
150mm less pen > 0.32 accuracy
aim time 1,5 sec
but almost same view range
WG amaze me with what they do constantly, recently all in a bad way
I’m not so sure, afterall at the same Tier (6) the americans only get 160mm of penetration on their TD’s with the 90mm M3 cannon (obviously using unhistorical, overnerfed penetration values), 165mm for a quick firing gun seems legit
furthermore we have to wait for size comparision (WG should always release a render with a average height “human” beside it for a more exact idea of it’s size), if it is still small and get’s good concealment you get something similar to a E-25 with more pen and more DMG, besides way better firing angles, and 1 Tier lower
but I do agree that it does not look like a TD, if I had to guess I would say it looks like an attempt to create a armed APC for infantry support (the 120mm DERP does help with that a little) but in the end I would like to have Ed Francis tell us a bit of it’s story to try and understand the idea behind it
Hopefully have a post up today about it and why it was designed the way it was. 😉
surely you are just trolling? You cannot possibly be THAT stupid, right?!
Bert’s distant cousin?
.48 acc and a 15 s reload nty gfyswg
kys wg, simply kys with bleach soda
that thing looks so atrocious… but its good to be hearing ed for a while, now knowing ed is a busy person, he should make some gameplays time to time or even podcasts would be enough, the top notch humour, especially playing with Arran.. it’s sad to see what once a huge channel drop to just 1.8k subscribers, especially known to brief about the Yer-2 airfield crisis
Grind for it , they couldn’t give it to me.
Too bad it’s not French, otherwise it’d be the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Quality post here
Had been a while sine the last interesting vehicle.
Looks cool, do want.
