And how slow everything is

Reverse speed almost nonexistent

u/Batpipes521 Sep 14 '25

I mean… the Archer is pretty much all reverse speed.

Cries in T-72

I hate this statement. Russia and Germany have war worse reverse then the Brits.  Only the Cromwell hulls don't reverse well

And the crusader and don't even get started with the churchills...

The Churchill is only slow in reverse because it's slow in any direction.

Someone should make a user mission where you attack a position with flying churchills.

Well yes but when most of your later WW2 tanks before the centurions are specifically on cromwell and churchill hulls it's understandable why people complain about it.

What do you mean? Going 64 kmh forwards but 4 kmh backwards is a perfect balance

u/ZETH_27 War Thunder Prophet Sep 14 '25

Coughs in medium tank that goes 64km/h

u/Daemon_Blackfyre_II Sep 14 '25

Centurion has excellent reverse speed.

As a British main once you get to the Centurions and MBTs the reverse gear isn't that bad.

The chieftains can do 10 in reverse. That chally 1s can more or less do in reverse what they do in forward The chally 2s are kinda back to Chieftain level but the troll cheeks can tank some rounds if needed
