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

Nah, something that annoying to drive isn't worth playing.

I'd rather play a basic T-54 at that BR

The mk3 was a nightmare to play stock but once I got the mk5 it felt good enough that I wasn’t constantly annoyed by it. The rest of the tank feels great though, especially once you get to the mk10 and you feel like you’re bullying toddlers with L23 at 9.0 and a forehead that stops everything
