A TANK SO THICK I RAN OUT OF AMMO AND STILL LIVED - Churchill NA75 in War Thunder

The Churchill NA75 in War Thunder is a British tank with an American twist. This Churchill has the amazing 75mm M3 Cannon found on the Sherman! It's just a shame some of the turret only has 30mm of armour! :)
The Churchill Tank is infamously slow and this one is no different at all. Usually the turret armour of the Churchill is enough to absorb most damage but this time around it has a lot of weakspots that make it very vulnerable.
However, in this video... I somehow managed to pull off a couple of insane games with the most ridiculous stuff happening!

I was driving for 7 minutes last night and got killed before I even got to the point by another person quite literally halfway across the map. The part that pissed me off the most was the fact that it wasn’t even a wheeled vehicle, it was a tank

I haven't even watched the video, I just saw the title and called bs straight away.

The other 13 games were all uptiers or same tier getting one shot left right and centre from every damn angle possible by every country. The most painful experience spading a tank I've had since the Archer, which is saying something.

To be fair, Churchill was designed for infantry and infantry only. They can be used for tank vs tank engagement with an excellent performance, but given the colossal fat ass that it has, it's more of a target practice for the CAS.

So obviously, get the APHE. Those first games with that AP round are miserable, but the M61 with HE filler is a wonderful round in terms of post pen. I'd also recommend playing it in a 4.3 lineup and not a 4.7, as I seem to get much more favorable match making there than at 4.7.
