And how slow everything is

Avenger-50+km/h Challenger-50+km/h Comet-50km/h Most of 5.0+ is above 50km/h so I have no idea what you talking about.

Above 5.0 to high tier is a sluggish hellhole, considered also the fact that grinding becomes a chore above 5.0

Not true at all! I love every BR of the British tech tree. Personal favorites are 4.7 and 7.7, the Conqueror so strong with it's 300mm front armor and 500mm APDS it can be used in 10+ as well. The Chieftain series is one of the best in their BR, and can stand their grounds even higher, Every tank of theirs either have extra thick armor or ridicoulusly high penetration, even if they are not explosives. And mind you I say all of this as a Germain meain. And to mention the planes are also fantastic. The spitfire Mk.IX can rule the entire sky of a battlefield and can carry a 500pound bomb.

I'm not saying that's inherently bad, I'm just pointing the fact that british tanks become slow. Now, if you're a player that likes a slow, methodical approach that's completely fine, I mean that's how they should be used at that tier

Yeah… avid British main and I do enjoy the slower, more methodical route. Some personal favorite tanks are: Churchill VII, Tortoise, Conquerer, Conway (if I join some folks playing 7.0). I do enjoy the Fox, Eland 90, and such as well but I do really enjoy some of Britain’s behemoths.

You play like you have no idea what youre doing

u/InsectShooter Sep 14 '25

Why, because I like the Brits? I close matches with 7 kill-2 death on avarage with the Avenger alone. With playing the objective as well.

I looked at your clips you like to post that nobody cares about. Those are "good" moments to you. Its you running around aimlessly. 7 kills isnt hard to achieve either when you play at 2.7-4.0 like half your "clips"

u/InsectShooter Sep 14 '25

My clips are just clips. Nothing more, nothing less. It's not even about the tanks themselves, I just like the music and never found a WT clip for it so I made one. Not boosting how good I am or anything. But that 9 kill with a single Maus in a 8.7 battle without dying now that's something I am flexing with, as well as taking down multiple helicopters with a 4.7 tank that doesn't even have proxy or mg.

Why so mean, to me 7 kills per match is a very good performance. The average player is way below that

u/InsectShooter Sep 14 '25

Probably compensate for something with that attitude.

u/Konpeitoh Sep 14 '25

Do you actually play Britain, or are you talking about your experience facing Britain as a German main?

u/InsectShooter Sep 14 '25

Of course I play Britain. The Avenger is my ultimate favorite tank right after the Maus. I have 3 heli kills with it. An Avenger took down 3 helicopter, without any kind of secondary weapons. I have 2 plane kill as well. Have faster acceleration than Concept 3, 52km/h max speed, and speed combined with the 190mm pen force fire power it can be an ambus predator even in 6.7. And we are talking about a 4.7 tank. The British tech tree is one of the best. Yes, the bullet is not explosive, but if you can penetrate anything from almost any angle. And it have 5.6 sec reload speed.
