It's purely to make more money. If it was an easy Brit low tier to grinfmd the marketplace would have thousands to sell and it would ha e no value. Making it harder to grind for a non top 3 nation means it will be much rarer and people will be able to sell it for more meaning gaijin make more on sales.

[@tapewormsandstoplights2868]

I think they should have made the reload faster but the turret has to move into forward position. That would also give it its cool barrel rotation animation

[@solreaver83]

Reload is close to 3 times the realistic time so I agree, it's too long.

[@snoopyowen239]

Not really irl reload time was expected to be like 30 seconds or more, and that’s not counting the fact that you have to open a hatch to access the gun, exposing yourself to enemy fire.

[@Yareli-Gayane]

I can definitely see some use for this in 8.0 where there are a lot of light tanks. especially in places like golden quarry where the a and c points both have hills that could let you increase the range of the round a bit

[@garrettdemoss9465]

The real test is, can you shoot the mortar while its loaded in the barrel like the sturm tiger? and if you can, does it magically load one in the chamber for you to shoot if the barrel is damaged

[@juusolatva]

protip: you can change the range a lot faster if you bind it to keys (increase and decrease) on your keyboard and you can also bind a key that resets it back to zero instantly

This beast will go perfectly alongside the Matilda Hedgehog to have good ole time while grinding ground events, at least in AB. The armor should hold up pretty dang well at that BR, and it can actually threaten the early T-34s and Shermans it might see, which also need to get pretty close to pen it.

putting a tank on slight incline so it can aim more up (up to 45°) will make it shoot further away ,but predicting where its going to hit is almost impossible ,when the Cannon is at 45° that is the maximum distance it can shoot
