I don't care if the Firefly is premium. 17pdr goodness. It BETTER be good

I am very much looking forward to the Brits.

FV215: 183mm gun on Conqueror heavy tank chassis.

:O

e: although it does say 130 in the screeny. But the normal conqueror has a 120mm gun. meh, i can dream

FC215 183mm will near certainly be a TD one day in distant future.

[Th3GoodSon]

I'm sure the Brits will be in some way horribly flawed and broken because ::Russian Devs::

However, some of the late war/post war tanks where sex; they stopped being under gunned and fitted real doom cannons

Only problems I see are having to grind trough 3 Churchills in a row, sand said Winstons looking all extremely undergunned. Black Prince as T7 will only reach 230pen with gold ammo QF-17 pounder should have some 150mm pen with normal ammo. And with 76.2 it will be doing what, 150 dmg per shot at best. I guess that will be "British style", barely enough pen to do the job, very low damage per shot, good rof.

Tank Shaped Low-Calibur Machine Guns

I mean, they can fit maybe some 90mm gun on to Black Prince or so (with 76.2 one being starter gun), but I don't have a clue where could they conjure 100mm+ guns for any Brit tank that is below T8. And while endless pleads from players did make WG make some low caliber high velocity guns do a bit more damage than they were doing, we won't be getting 250+ dmg per shot anywhere below T8.

[Th3GoodSon]

Given the higher velocity of many of the brit guns (over Ruskie guns especially) you OUGHT to see more damage to modules and crew per hit, even if overall HP damage is less

TBH it's going to be months until anything gets released so I better not put on my tinfoil hat just yet. Pretty interested in the brit tanks though. Saving my free XP for a while now!

[Tajidan]

Pearly!

How long was it between french trailer -> implementation?

[V]

More tanks to shoot at. That's all. IMHO.

[DaDutchDude]

From http://worldoftanks.eu/news/2559-bri...s-are-coming/:

In fact, the upcoming new tech tree is divided in two main parts: fast and powerful tanks with poor endurance, and heavily armored machines with low-damage weaponry.

Sounds like you'll have a "Maus-with-bad-gun" line and a "French lights without long reload" line ... I think I'll save some free XP for the second line, because if there's one thing I can't stand is a tank with a weak gun.

[Spoony]

they officially announced the Brits on EU server now, provided some shots of the tanks ingame

Shame they look fucking rubbish

[Fourfingers frankie]

All of those tanks look like penetration magnets like the tiger with the exception of the crusader which looks pretty bouncy
