british cruiser tanks are fun as fuck

2018-12-09 17:09:04 UTC  

the Cromwell was the best tho

2018-12-09 17:09:06 UTC  

That's it.

2018-12-09 17:09:06 UTC  

yeah

2018-12-09 17:09:09 UTC  

and then

2018-12-09 17:09:14 UTC  

the mfing Centurion

2018-12-09 17:09:14 UTC  

32pdr was a good gun for both, but fuck trying to put that in anything.

2018-12-09 17:09:18 UTC  

makes me wet

2018-12-09 17:09:20 UTC  

The centurion was the first real MBT.

2018-12-09 17:09:21 UTC  

tbh

2018-12-09 17:09:26 UTC  

it was

2018-12-09 17:09:28 UTC  

100%

2018-12-09 17:09:28 UTC  

It was once you got the 20pdr on it

2018-12-09 17:09:29 UTC  

VC Firefly was decent engineering

2018-12-09 17:09:30 UTC  

WW2 British tanks are pretty shit

2018-12-09 17:09:38 UTC  

Sherman with a 17pdr

2018-12-09 17:09:41 UTC  

Not that shit

2018-12-09 17:09:43 UTC  

It was desperate and it worked like ass cause of the smoke cloud it kicked up

2018-12-09 17:09:47 UTC  

But the gun was needed

2018-12-09 17:09:48 UTC  

tho they called it a Universal, not an MBT 😉

2018-12-09 17:09:53 UTC  

we didnt have the 76mm at the time

2018-12-09 17:09:54 UTC  

Matilda was slow, but still gave the German's a shit ton of trouble.

2018-12-09 17:09:55 UTC  

so it was a good idea

2018-12-09 17:10:02 UTC  

Matildas are well armoured

2018-12-09 17:10:15 UTC  

but holy fuck it was slow

2018-12-09 17:10:17 UTC  

The matilda was such a strong tank for what it was used for

2018-12-09 17:10:20 UTC  

I think fireflys fucked off mostly in place of Achilles, Jacksons, and M4 76 shermans.

2018-12-09 17:10:26 UTC  

Oh and the comet.

2018-12-09 17:10:27 UTC  

North africa it had massive success

2018-12-09 17:10:27 UTC  

yeah

2018-12-09 17:10:45 UTC  

UK always had an aversion to APHE rounds for some reason.

2018-12-09 17:10:48 UTC  

Jacksons/Achilles along with all SPG/TDs are cheaper in general to produce

2018-12-09 17:10:54 UTC  

@soup dad iirc the qf 32pdr was meant for casemate tank destroyers

2018-12-09 17:11:00 UTC  

it would've never fit a turret ring

2018-12-09 17:11:07 UTC  

I think it was when they tested it, it was an APHE round on a 2pdr , and it was trash, so they assumed all types were trash.

2018-12-09 17:11:15 UTC  

They fucked removed the HE filler from our rounds .

2018-12-09 17:11:18 UTC  

and the short term Caernarvon

2018-12-09 17:11:18 UTC  

Fuckin knobheads.

2018-12-09 17:11:30 UTC  

and I think early models of the Conqueror

2018-12-09 17:11:34 UTC  

32pdr was a massive AA gun so it was pretty bad to fit in anything.

2018-12-09 17:11:44 UTC  

Decent at AT and amazing with HE rounds
