[@siegfriedduong2218]

Imagine how did it feel for old british mains who had their 6.7 (FV4204, Caernarvon, FV4005) lineup butchered with HEATFS and ATGM.

[@siegfriedduong2218]

Funniest thing is British get nefted from how well we are doing because the people who consistently play British Ground RB are the only one who were willing enough to learn the mechanics and capitalise on it. the Lynx's manification is nefted because they wanted to sell Rooivalk. AH Mk. 1 and other variants are missing their IRCM and IR shields but those modifications exist in Russian KA-52 and Mi-28NM. Starstreak is supposed to reach Mach 3 and not have a cap of Mach 1 on speed. Chally 2's manlet is poorly modeled in which results in less protection.

[@DistinguishedCanuck]

Gaijin butchered a lot, like the fact the M26 Pershing, T26E5, and Super Pershing are all 6.7 despite each being a subsequent upgrade on the last. It makes zero sense.

[@siegfriedduong2218]

@@DistinguishedCanuck The American 7.0s are a FKING joke. The Sheridan is the only vehicle worth getting. M103? garbage. Just Sheridan and all the light tanks and TD and then to the Abrams. They are not even close to their competitors in performance in a game like this.

[@brianmabon4703]

99% of the time the British tanks aren't actually that bad, it's just the map design and the massive amount of "overtiering" that occurs in the tech trees that makes them look awful. I find it hilarious that guns that were designed to eat WW2 German and later Cold War Russian tanks were nerfed because they were doing exactly that. I take great satisfaction in having obtained nukes in several of the tech tree vehicles because of how rough Britain gets it, my first nuke was in the Ratel 90 on Mozdok ffs xD

[@latch9781]

Arguably the biggest problem Britain faces is a lot of its vehicles underperform while other nations overperform

[@Rempai420]

1:22:05 I am a warrior gunner IRL and I can tell you that it could be so much worse. If you fire all 6 rounds you have to do a complete unload and reload which takes over 30 seconds to do, you have to fire 3 rounds, insert a new clip, rinse and repeat. If you fire 4 rounds and load a new clip you have a gap in feed and the 30 second reload starts again. The none stabilised gun irl is worthless on the move, you may as well strap the cannon to a speed boat, you’d have about the same accuracy. What’s funny is that it actually has a stabilised sight but you can only use it in “surveillance mode” it’s just a big fat tease I’ve just completed an exercise with the Prince of wales so I’m basically the most important person on the internet also 😂 Anyway time to go leak warrior documents

[@gamingwolf6735]

I somehow had the mental fortitude to grind out the UK when there was only a single Chally 2, no South Africa, and no ADATS. Somehow I've managed to keep on top of having the tree completed (UGH). I'm convinced Gaijin has an unwritten rule stating that "Britain will never have its moment in the sun". Even the air tree tends to be viciously underwhelming considering the pedigree. Yet, the biggest shocker of them all is that the Royal Navy is woefully impotent (for the most part)- that's just bloody rude lol.

I only have played the UK line up till 5.3. Partially because I got the TOG II and have a couple of premiums that are close to its BR. But even before I got that Tank, I really enjoyed the going through the British tech tree from rank 1 to rank 3. This might be the best of tanks, but they have character, and are super fun to play. Only early Tech tree that has better rounds is the Swedish tech tree. The APCR rounds in rank 1 to 3 are amazing.

[@OddReal]

currently on Rank 2 close to Rank 3 i genuinely dont know the strat for playing british tanks cus it feels like no matter how you play them you cant win, rush onto a site? you get one shotted, play far back? your shots dont penetrate and youre about as accurate as when trying to take a piss at 2am, wanna tank some shots with a heavy tank? good luck the armour is unreliable and your tank is basically a flat box meaning theres no chance they dont penetrate and dont think angling your tank will save you.

[@tergelaltankhuyag8206]

Idk if anyone mentioned this, but the only reason why the americans and the germans have decent mobility compared to the cheiftains, is cos they scrapped the idea of multifuel engines after how bad the idea was in practice. Now just imagine leopard with chieftains speed but bit faster cos less weight. But yiu still get the picture.

[@Fyberoptik]

I despise a lot of British vehicles but I actually really enjoy the 5.3/5.7 lineup. I usually have a good time but I haven’t been touched by the sub cal nerf. APDS and solid shot seem to do more damage for me now than even APHE does on a lot of American or German vehicles.

[@possibleproblem479]

all of the vehicles you thought were mediocre and bad at rank I/II i loved and did really well in. the churchill I for example is one of my favorite tanks in the game. guess its just a matter of preference also the cromwell rp3 is fantastic on flat maps like cargo port or city theaters in general. those rockets have gotten me out of a lot of situations where my main gun was either destroyed or reloading.

Britain is by no means a bad tree, but it's greatly held back by nerfing and overtiering from gaijin. They claim it's because if stats that we're not allowed access to, but the reason the stats are so high for British vehicles is because the only people who stick with them are the maniacs willing to fight an uphill battle. If they were properly balanced on capability it would bring more players into the tree and lower the overall skill level of British mains, same as when they release a high tier premium it bombs win rates regardless of how good it is. More players means more casuals.

The British tech tree used to be the tech tree for skilled players bored doing well with Americans, Germans, and Russians counterparts. Personally, I love the British tech tree out of heritage and self-loathing. Highlights that I adore are the Daimler gun-go cart, the Crusader III, the Cromwells, the Sherman Fireflies, the Comet I, the Charioteer VII, and the Centurions (yes, even the Mark I). Basically, the cruisers with a few long-range sniping outliers here and there. Favorite support CAS includes the Swordfish (for the memes), the Mosquito FB Mk XVIIIe (speedy flying 6-pounder go brrrr), the premium Thunderbolt, the Wyvern, the Spitfires, and the Hornet Mk. III (last two for exclusively anti-CAS/Counter-air). Give it a try if you want to hone the skills picked up in other tech trees, it’ll make you a more proficient player.

[@agiliteka]

I started with the British Tech tree when I started playing a year and a half ago, been enjoying it, despite the tanks that should be good being shafted by the way the game has been built. I started playing some other tech trees when my crews are locked, and bloody hell, aces every other game. I can play aggressively too, as opposed to having to react to the enemies like in the British tech tree, others get to dictate the flow of a match.

[@dr1Voss48]

@@agiliteka I think it does make you a better player when you become proficient with British tanks then move on to other tech trees. - High penetration but relatively low post-pen damage guns/rounds force you to become something of a sharpshooter for critical components. - You learn to adapt better to terrain because of the common mobility limitations in the tree. - You learn to rely on positioning rather than armor because of the lackluster protection in most British tanks. - Nifty cruisers like Crusaders, Cromwells, and Comets accommodate the need for speed in the shoot-and-scoot lads. - Excellent Close Air Support options (Typhoons, Wyvern, early Mossie, Spits for counter CAS, etc.) to help mitigate costs. Main-lining the British tech tree is like training with wooden weapons that are twice the weight of their steel counterparts. Sure, it can be wonky and frustrating and may even cause unintentional injury but it betters the player. It embodies the “plucky Brit” sort of character that seems to permeate British military history. Despite its shortcomings, it’s my favorite tech tree by far.

Just started playing recently, put maybe 20h in, all Britain, no premiums. I wouldn't call it fun, but it can sometimes resemble fun in the right match. That being said, I feel a great sense of tranquility when I play. Of course every US, German and Russian tank can one-shot me, and my solid shot does nothing. That's the game, apparently. No rage, no salt - I expect to get (at best) a neutral K/D. It's very zen. Can't get angry about losing if you never expected to win. Glad to hear that it only gets worse at the higher tiers. I thought 2.7 / 3.3 was bad, but apparently that's just a warm-up.

[@vax3783]

I'm convinced if we had better/bigger maps, the British would be competent. Every time I'm in a city map at tier 6, I just spawn as the warrior. Especially when everything can 1 shot you, and you often need to place 2 shots on tanks to get a kill.

After I recently started to grind all major tech trees, I must say that British rank 1 was overall the most enjoyable rank 1 for me. Compared to Russian and German rank 1, none of the British vehicles were frustrating to play and if I were to introduce somebody to Warthunder, I would start here to make sure they have decent first play experience. As for 1.0 SPAA I must disagree here. It has very nice mobility, gun traverse speed and firerate with good sized magazine. Compared to other starting AAs, this was very pleasant SPAA to play with. Only downside are small caliber guns, so its unusable against most ground vehicles.

Fun fact, the Polish Firefly actually isn't a carbon copy of the tech tree Firefly. Unlike the tech tree version, the Polish tank uses the standard non-lengthened Sherman hull and the old radial engine as opposed to the famous 5 welded-together bus engines. In theory this should make the Polish Firefly a bit slower, but since they didn't have to extend the hull it's also a lot lighter, resulting in a power/weight ratio that's ever so slightly better than the tech tree Firefly, at the cost of more recoil.

When you learn how to use the Archer its actually amazing, played defensively its a neat tank destroyer that unlike any other British tank can actually escape superior enemy forces without having to turn around first since its already set to drive in the direction awa from the enemy. And IRL it was actually quite noted for this ability by its crews, who appreciated being able to shoot and scoot away to the next defensive position rather than getting caught by the Panzers while turning around. Also I’ll defend the 3 inch gun carrier since its got stupendous amounts of armour with angling, so it absolutely chews up many of the light tanks that get spammed about in the 1.7-3.7 range

2 mins in; this is wrong. Our arms industry has definitely had investment since the 80s. Hell, it was the UK which kept the Eurofighter project (which was in the early stages as the ACA), ASRAAM project and others alive when other countries (mostly Germany) dropped out of these supposed joint-developments (Germany's AMRAAM research eventually went into the IRIS-T). We're also driving the development of 6th gen aircraft, namely with FCAS/Tempest/GCAP. Also, blaming Labour for every problem with defence procurement?... in the 80s?? When the Tories were in charge from 1979 until 1994? Also, 4 mins in; if you're at all familiar with British history in WW2 you'll know that we very much didn't use WW1 equipment in a modern moving war.. we used equipment based on lessons from the first world war which were somewhat dated, but the equipment itself was designed to fit the doctrine; heavy infantry support tanks and light cruiser tanks for swift actions. We didn't enter the war using MK IV tanks.

[@owengallagher3992]

For 5.3 mediums... I hate the comet. It has mobility that is worse than the other option, though not by a lot. The armour is enough to make it harder for planes to strafe kill you, but it's not good enough to make any difference with other tanks. But worst, the gun is significantly worse. The shells have much less penetration, which means that you're essentially forced to use the apds since the apcbc has such little pen. That's my 2 cents anyway, I'll take the challenger or even the avenger any day.

I disagree with the Mk.10's judgement. It is probably the ONLY tank I have ever played where I really don't give a fuck about being uptiered a full battlerating because it has zero bearing on your Mk,10 experience and playstyle. The round makes its gun pretty much as good as your 10.0 vehicles to begin with, and the stillbrew is still nigh-unpennable. I think the tanks around it getting more mobile does put you at a bigger disadvantage for sure, but you were always much slower than everyone anyway so you still play hull down and absolutely rinse people who seem to see you in their 10.0 vehicle, recognise you as a Chieftain, then try and lolpen you thinking you're an easy kill, only to donk off the stillbrew, leaving them open to a special dart delivery. At 9.0 people still see you as a threat and I think this makes me if anything less successful in it at its own BR because people don't confidently walk into your trap expecting an easy kill.

For example, if you take a Chieftain into an urban where you run around corners, you will get instantly killed through the hull, but if you hull down on maps where you can sit behind a hill peeking up with your turret, it will be an amazing tank. What you are doing in this video is just being overly negative while not really giving any tips for playstyles on these tank. Also, saying that the british techtree is "bland and boring" is just dumb. Some people might love the british tanks because they love the design and history behind them.

Great vid sako 👍🏻 Edit: King Charlie

I am pretty sure challenger 2 mantlet is armoured wrong but gaijin refuse to change it?

[@MiG21fanboy]

You didnt show the ac 1 :/

[@AlphaRyuZU]

48:58 The Centurion Mk.I got moved back to 6.0, so ever so slightly better then the 6.3 1:00:26 And the G6 Rhino was moved from 7.0 to 6.7 in RB, but very funni to obliterate IS-3's through the side when up-tiered

If there are any military geeks in the comments plz let me know what depleted uranium rounds do asking for a friend

[@SAKOSNIPER]

DU is a much more dense metal, compared to tungsten, so for the same shape of dart, it will weigh more. So a DU round fired at the same velocity as a Tungsten round, will penetrate more armour, due to the mass x velocity energy formula

What a chad responding to a question in the comments of an old video

[@petrkdn8224]

did you just call the APS a gimmick? you didnt even mention it can stop APFSDS rounds.. from 500-600m+ you are safe from 99% of projectiles, as the only ones with 1700m/s velocity are mostly are early apfsds at lower BRs. And for DM53, it takes roughly 600-700m for you to be safe as it loses enough speed to be below 1700m/s.. so on any non-urban map, you have FOUR safe cards in your hands...

Surprisingly, the Vickers Mk1 has a 5.0s reload when aced, meaning it will out reload most things it faces

[@DavidTheConkerer]

Well...God save the King! o7 hehehe

[@stikfigz]

I remember during the british tank CBT it would regularly be one team of the UK vs everyone else combined, and I dont think we ever lost a single game. There were multiple games we won without the enemy even scoring a single kill.

[@sgmvideos5175]

Centurion is where it starts catch up, I say start, because 1st, centurion is basically only working on it's BR, you got to get to tier 6 to actually start enjoying it... or... just play on BR 1.0 and be happy person. Also, I don't think they don't play their own game, the just play only soviet, they don't like centurions obligerating them, so they just moved them up where they make no sense.

[@hazajacko]

King fucking Charles hahah. I finished UK ground as my first nation on WT including the Chally 3 TD and yes....pain. Excellent video, most of which i agree with from past year playing. Think the Chally DS is deffo worth it personally, helped me do everything from 10.0 upwards. I know that if i can do alright with UK (which i dont mostly XD) then i'll be flying with the Leos and T-80s :D

[@a_MhetOtw.4334]

31:15 i feel that. Sometimes in my M42 some srapnel from a bomb explodes the ammunition when im 50 meters from the explosion marker (exaggerated, but you know what i mean). Edit: I personally feel that you rush Achilles and be a sniper for grinding tier 2.

[@TheKythia]

King Charles my man! Anyway, I was considering them Brits but ... yeah thanks, but no thanks. :)

[@Obelion_]

dang britains, wouldnt touch the tree with a 10ft pole (or 3m pole as civilized people would say) ill never get why they have this fetish for slow ass mediums (or mbts later) being forced through 3 centurions on the swedes side barely hitting 20kmh stock made me really hate britain tanks. still great video!

[@maximos105able]

Just FYI dude slinging the "R" word a lot, now adays its pretty taboo to say. Think "N" word. But you do you, i grew up saying it because everyone in family did, had to train myself

[@PanzersnCricket]

King Charles What about Chally 3?

[@SAKOSNIPER]

Recently had it's engine nerfed down to 1,200 hp, so it's really slow :(

[@jianfenglim4080]

I currently is playing British tank and the ranking is between 3.0 to 3.7, yes rank 2 tank is a suffer chamber ( valentine mobility almost made me give up) and pls do not buy matilda ( dk I misspell ) its suck and slow.

[@theoschafersymons7975]

It's not a chieftain upgrade, though similar. Just semantics, I don't really care tho.

[@whiskeyechomick1015]

Idk why people hat playing Churchill 1 so much like just angle, fire on the move cuase you have the stabilizer, bring the apcbc shell, snipe crew and use the aphe against week targets a get at least 5 kills a live with the Church 1 on average and some game I get around 10 or more

[@kacper_l09]

man why you gotta do churchill mk.7 like that its an amazing tank and my favourite at that you can just drive forward bouncing all shots and destryoing everyones guns and tracks as your team follows you

[@TakenWithout]

I can’t say I’m particularly good at war thunder in any aspect but as much as I try to like British tanks, it’s just depressing knowing half the vehicles around you are better in every important way. And the inability for solid shot/ sabot to do anything is just infuriating

[@Jump-Shack]

Missed when the centution mk3 and similar were 6.7 since not only was that fun but it felt somewhat balanced
