Need some work that -155 reputation of yours. :>

Just for info for thoose who dont know russian
Легкий Танк- Light Tank
Средний Танк - Medium Tank
Тежел(blah)й танк- Heavy tank
САУ- SPG (the Anti tank SPGs are on the right side, the arty is on the left)

ROFL, gotta love the starter tank, Little whilly  

If the 17 pounder is at tier 5 that's a problem, because the 17lb was historically the best penetrator of the war. It shouldn't appear till tier 7 or 8. The only reason to have it so early is that it's been weakened from it's historical potency.

So again we see russian devs shortchanging other nations.

Please keep in mind that is PRE-ALPHA tree.
Also, there is a precedent for this, the 107mm ZiS-6 (or ZiS-6C for SU-85, with slightly better reload) tier 5 cannon can penetrate 167mm of armor.

nice to see the tree.. Nicer to see the centurion!!!

nice to see vickers there. I work for vickers

tortoise hmmmmmmm now there were only a handfull of those made and I believe it had a gun of over 30lb's. good old rolls royce engines eh that will be good for all of what... 10mph /?

With APDS, so gold ammo.
With AP, it was pretty similar to 75/70 from Panther.

Looks good! I dont know so much about premium tanks and its a shame they but firefly to there.  

But i need to get that cromwell! Theres just something in that tank. Even tho its gonna be crap for sure, i just like that tank for some weird way.  

Im gonna be liking My Tortoise

17 pounder didn't have the best penetration, it only had the best from western allied guns (during WWII). It was also inaccurate gun and does minimal damage compared to German 75mm for example because of the lack of HE fuse. IMO it fits really well tier V/VI only thing it has over it's counterparts is penetration.

Can't wait for Centurion, that thing was actually better than T-54 IRL unlike the M48 Americans are going to get.

Just noticed,
All the tanks in the medium branch (cruiser Mk3 to Centurion Mk3) Start with the letter C
Also tier 6 Black Prince looks niiiiice

Churchill AVRE

290mm mortar. This will hurt a lot.

Actually the 17 pounder was only inaccurate when using APDS shells, which were somewhat experimental at that time. I do think the 17 pounder will be fairly underwhelming in WoT though, since the historic conditions that made it one of the greatest guns of WW2 aren't present in game. It'll be roughly comparable to the German 75mm L/70 in all likelihood for game balance's sake. The British tanks will be getting plenty of post-war guns far superior to the 17 pounder anyway, so I'm not worried.

As for the Centurion, I wouldn't pin any hope on it, many tanks history says were great have turned out to be sub-standard while the T-54 has been put in with carefully cherry-picked stats well in excess of any actual real life model.


@Lobo: I'm more looking forward to the 380mm rocket-mortar on the Sturmtiger to be honest

@Kazomir: The British pioneered the cruiser tank, which evolved into the MBT. All British cruiser tanks and MBT's have been named beginning with C since the start and carry on to this day.

Love that tank since "A Bridge too Far" that's why I'm looking for it

Well, first off all I like heavies.
The FV214 Conqueror is a tier 9 tank  as I see in the Kazomir pre-alpha tree.
It was designed to fight against IS3 but is3 is tier 8 tank in soviet tree.
So there is a little discrepancy compared to the real history facts.
Anyway I am waiting the British tree.

Good luck.
