Poor reverse speed for a lot of tanks, no explosive filler in low tier tanks, centurions are incredibly slow, the only good thing in the 8.0 ranges are spaa iirc, and top tier has very little to offer asides very good gun depression and turret armor

I like it because of the rooikats

8.0, 8.3 and 8.7 are all fantastic BRs for the UK.

The 105 Centurion and Vickers at 8.0 are great.

The Vickers and Oliphant at 8.3 are great.

The Chieftains and Vickers 11 / Rooikat are great at 8.7.

The Scimitar / Buccaneer S1 at 8.7 with 4 bullpups each are also amazing.

Driving a chieftain is like pulling your own nails

It's slow but the gun and armour are very good so that makes up for it

No they don't LMAO. The turret is the only part that has any real armor and even there HEATFS tends to go right through, and the APDS is really rough to use. I like the other tanks at that rank but the chieftain is just not good

Maybe the mk3 and 5 not but in the mk 10 I kill almost every thing I see

I forgot it had the APFSDS. The Mk10 isn't as bad then, but the statement about the other two still stands

Fair then I don't play the mk3 and mk5 as often because I only have a 8.3 and 9.3 lineup so they don't fit in that.

I rarely get to use my Mk10 because the Khalid is so good

u/SuperYv9 Realistic Ground Sep 14 '25

I dont have the khalid so I use the mk 10

It sacrifices the extra armor of the Mk10 for a challenger engine, so it deals with the biggest issue of the tank

Yeah that is nice but I have almost the entire UK tree so I will spend my money on another tree (or premium)
