Tactics: Chieftain

preview_player
Показать описание
At the end of the 1960s, the British military received a main battle tank of the new generation. The Chieftain, as it was called, was very different from its European and Soviet counterparts. It was a combat vehicle with very comfortable crew stations, excellent armour and a powerful gun. At the same time, this level of survivability and firepower was achieved by sacrificing the vehicle’s mobility. Chieftains remained in service for several decades and proved to be pretty effective: after all, at the end of the 20th century, it was the Chieftain that became the base for a new generation of British MBTs.

Gaijin: We suggest you find a hulldown position
Also Gaijin: Let's give the other nations some High Pen rounds and make crappy hulldown maps

Mark 10 also have additional 200mm blocks to help protect from turret ring shots

Gajin can you decrease the repair cost on the chieftains they are stupidly over priced for vehicles that are over tiered. Just for reference the Chieftain mark 10 doesn't get thermals which is kinda of a god given thing at this br (there is that soviet mbt thats in the same boat but at least its good). all other mbts are not as pricy and if they are they get plenty of vehicles to back them up. so can you at least give the chieftain mark 10 its old repair cost back.

It’s one of my favourite tanks to play ingame. It’s like a beefed up FV4202 and I loved that too. Just a pity both have such outrageously high repair costs.

Seen the chieftain in action at the tank museum generally a wonderful tank

The Scorpion and it's variants, Fv721 Fox and the Shir 1 would be great additions to the British tech tree

I’m dumb and Insane enough to get this far into Britain so I’ll give my advice:

- Don’t rush, your not a leopard.
- Use cover not concealment
- Never push without range and awareness
- use your allies, not your armor

Your essentially an old wooden sniper rifle (skip the Mk.5, it’s slightly more mobile for a stupid cost)

2:50 something to point out is that the conquerer at 7.7 has nearly 200mm worth of extra pen.... using the older version of the gun

The chieftan is easily the most worthless MBT at its BR, because at its BR it gets outrun by everything (The enemy will always be waiting for you) and it is actually uncommon when someone can not pen your turret (you will be eating a lot of HEAT projectiles), and then the cannon, nothing wrong there, except the fact that you will be seeing enemies with LR's and maybe even thermals at the same BR (BMP-2's, WMA's, PTL's, T55 AM-1s) as well as its substantial reload. I am not saying that the stats of the chieftan should be changed, but why on god is it 8.3 when everything it faces is just plain out better.

You can also purchase a real life Chieftan Mk 10 for around $85, 000, or at least you used to be able to get one for that price. Also, a lot of movies that feature Abrams tanks are actually Chieftans with kits installed to make them look like Abrams (Courage under fire is a good example of this).

Chieftains are def not bad for Britian 8.3 when combined with powerful vehicles such as the vickers mk3, the FALCON, the rooikat, the ZA-35 and its scout AH mk1 etc, even though it has indeed poor mobility, Britain can also offer the vickers mk3 which also has an LRF and is more mobile which allows the chieftain to remains as a sniper and also be useful when the maps does not favor the chieftain
