Monwar Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 It has magnificent armor, though muzzle velocity is low, and also AT armor is scant. Is it wise to take these in QBs? Can they destroy bigger German tanks? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanonier Reichmann Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Assuming you're refering to Churchill Mk VIII's they certainly are able to kill the big boys including Tiger I's & Panthers frontally but are extremely marginal versus Tiger II's & Jagdpanthers (and of course, Jagdtigers). This is all based on the assumption that your Churchill comes with a goodly supply of "C" rounds because if not....you're screwed. Also, don't expect to be able to duel with the Tigers & Panthers at much greater than about 700 metre range since their chances of hitting fall dramatically much over that range due to their low velocity howitzer style 95mm gun. Mind you, if you are able to hit the target the "C" rounds are still able to penetrate the armour at above that range. Regards Jim R.

Elmar Bijlsma Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 It's definitly worth taking along you don't plan a swift fire and maneuvre battle with it. I had one 75mm Churchill take on a Tiger I at approx 300m. I knew it was a good choice when in withstood it's 88mm shells for nearly four turns, when a Cromwell showed up on the Tigers flank and nailed it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
