Ok, you had me on your side with "Cromwell", but now I'm standing back and letting you get fish slapped because you said "Challenger".

There's nothing wrong with the Challenger, and since I mentioned being top heavy it only makes sense. It's merely a modification of the Cromwell. There were not very many of them made, but they also took part in the war.

Maybe you were thinking of the Challenger MBT? Not something I would ask for, bub.

moin

as for the britisch tanks the crusader, cromwell and comet would be logikaly, because thay are technickaly the same family and if thay made one the 2 others would be relativly easy made out out of them.

These 3 vehicles would be realy use full, the crusader would play with towns and panzers, the cromwell with all the medium stuff and the comet with the big ones :-).
chalanger isn t a wwII tank.

I'm sorry to break it to you but yes it is. It's the Cruiser Mk. VIII Challenger with the QF 17 pdr gun.

Glad I could teach you something though.

Wasn't insinuating that you were asking for the MBT.  This is a AH tank thread debating the merits of AFV's to be included in to the fray, not a WoT gamer's daycare.  Adding the Challenger would add nothing, it offers only slightly more speed than the Firefly.  The Cromwell would at least give us a fast moving, fast firing, heavy hitting HE/lackluster AP platform. That is something we don't have in AH currently. That would eclipse the T34/76 in all but frontal armor and short range AP (via T34/76 HVAP).

Sorry, but I don't think you can say that. The Challenger is a weaker (armor-wise) Firefly that has more maneuverability and greater speed. To say it has nothing to offer is disingenuous. It's historical. But, with all you said about day-care, I would expect you to cough up even more bias. So, I give you just a tad of credit for not going totally sarcastic. Oh, . . . wait.

You'd miss a lot more than that sitting in the slammer.
