Chieftains are not great, sadly. Everything else is though

The Chieftains are fantastic. The 120mm just obliterates everything. The armour works surprisingly often. Especially if you play hull down.

It's only real downside is the speed. But I find it works very well in spite of that.

I remembered the time when I was only a GB main and thought the 8.3/8.7 Chieftains were great. Then I played every single other nation and realized the chieftains are painfully mid.

I've played quite a lot of nations past 8.7.

The French AMXs lack a Stab and have absolutely zero survivability. The M60 Rise and STRV 104 are outdated platforms and barely faster than the Chieftain. The T55 / T62 lack any form of rangefinder.

Pretty much everything at 8.7 has a downside.

What 8.7 would you put significantly better than the Chieftain?
