Churchill Tank
« on: April 25, 2008, 05:37:00 PM »
I think britan needs its fair share of tanks too. We have people asking for russia, which already has tank(s) also this was operated by the Russians, germany, which has alot of tanks, Japan, which tanks are not the best but they are pretty good. But the churchill is amazing. Some photos and Info are listed below.
CROCIDILE, Flame thrower model. That is what the large hull gun is.






The Churchill Tank,

Operators,
      Republic of Ireland
      United Kingdom
      Soviet Union

Armor
     Wide rang of armor Ranging from 62mm Thickness to 102mm Thickness (MkVII model had 152mm by driver)

Wieght, Length, Width, Hieght

    38.5 Tonnes

     24 Feet 5 Inches Long

    10 Feet 8 Inches Wide

    8 Feet 2 Inches High

Primary Cannon

    75MM Cannon or 2 pounder or a 6 pounder or a 95MM cannon.

Primary Weapons Range

   5,000-8,000 yards

Secondary Weapons

     x2 Besa Machine Guns, Or during late war, The Crocidile model was made with a 75MM and a Flamethrower and 1 Machine gun. Flamethrowers Range   120-150 yards.

Horsepower

    91 Horsepower Per Tonne | total ammount is 350HP from engine

Range

    90KM

Top Speed

     15 MPH

Troop Carrying Capacity

    4 (unconfirmed still researching)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This tank would be valuabe asset to the tank force of AH2. I have been researching for a long time (30-45 minutes ;) ). Also if this series of tank was added to AH2 it would be the greatest addition due to its amazing capability. It had many uses during the war, Flamerthrower, Rescue viechle for uprighting and repairing tanks that where wounded or flipped over, Also used to transporting troops. The most produced models where the MK IV or the MK VII which both where amazing tanks most of the info posted was designated for those two. There armor was thicker then the Panzer or the Tiger tanks, but due to its early design, it was slightly inefficent due to it's armor was not slanted. Also it was a russian operated tank, so thos russian tank freaks could be satisfied too. And the Irish could be recognized for there effort in the war with a paint in Irish colors. The irish actually defended there coast from the possible German invasion. Anyway this tanks would make a great addition, thank you for reading.

The only problem with it from a game standpoint is the speed, or rather, lack thereof.  At half the speed of the other tanks in the set, I don't think I would personally have the patience to take it anywhere except base defense.

Would still be an interesting addition.

True but then again, the earlier models had some pretty quick speeds.

It's as ugly as a hatful of {ROFL @ auto censor overthunks indeed} butt holes, but I think it will be an interesting addition. I'm not sure just what use the flamethrower would be, but yeah, it's different

 :aok Sounds like it would be a good addition. I don't care about speed as it'd give me something to do when really bored and wanting to kill time.

speed doesn't realy matter unless you are running. And if you are in a situation where you have to run, your fault......

The CHURCHILL would be a major TURKEY in this game. You would do better asking for the COMET.

Cromwell/Challenger.

Both would be good additions.

Perk a Churchill?? :huh The Churchill is a TERD. As a Late War battle tank, it is a disaster. It is an infantry support tank. Maybe you could close to, oh, I don't know, 30 yards, and torch that pesky enemy Tiger with your Crocodile. :lol

Or better yet, you could use your blazing speed to engage and burn down the enemy Fighter Hangers. :aok
