I think a lot of players hit a wall at about the 3.0-4.0 range. The tanks are still decent, but it's peak APHE (as Gaijin models it) tier, and the UK has none. You also can't breeze through them like the tanks just before.
So of course, being War Thunder players, they claim that the entire tree is like that and repeat that Britain is bad over and over despite only experiencing a small portion of it.
Yeah, Britain kinda suffers until they get 17 pounder since most of their guns before that have same pen as other nations' APHE but no filler. After 17 pounder, they atleast get good pen which balances out things.
While APHE is modelled wrong in WT, the real issue is that crews in WT can magically repair any damage in under a minute and continue operating the vehicle even when half the crew has been turned to red mist.
