Hello captains and gentlemen. After yesterday's briefing to everyone about the upcoming March 1st Season 7 news, because the current activity is not online, many things can not be determined, so some of the questions of friends I can not answer, after the activity opened, I will collect the questions together, do a "total episode". Well, today we are going to talk about a "mission car" Churchill L, which is actually quite fun.
Small talk "Churchill L"
Lend-Lease Act
In August 1944, near the 50th Regiment of Yau IV
In fact, the name "Churchill L" is quite confusing. A friend asked me if this L represents "lengthening", in fact, "L" stands for "Lend lease", referring to the "Lend-Lease Act" of the Western Allies to the Soviet Union in World War II, which allowed the Western Allies to send supplies to the Soviet Union and help fight Germany. In fact, it is also very easy to understand - this is the truth of the cold lips, once Germany crushed the Soviet Union, it would be uncomfortable to turn its hands against Britain and the United States. Under the Lend-Lease Act, a total of 301 Churchill tanks were sent to the Soviet Union, of which 253 were successfully shipped to the Soviets.
Abandoned Churchill
However, these "foreign monks" who came from afar were not good at chanting. The Soviets found many problems after inspecting the Churchill received, the artillery high and low planes, the engines of the station and the tank, the gearbox, etc. all had various problems, and after the Kubinka test, the Soviets thought that Churchill could be used as a heavy tank similar to the KV-1, and in terms of protection and firepower, it was also more squeamish, and it required a strong level of logistics to serve. But it was better than nothing, and Churchill in the hands of the Red Army still played a big role in 1943-44, and the rate of war losses was relatively high, and later Churchill in the front-line troops was basically replaced by IS.
Churchill L in the old version, pay attention to the early days of the game
Repairs, ammunition or are displayed in strips
The British sent the Soviet Union the Churchill 2/3/4 models, and the game chose Churchill 3. It is older than most of the tanks in our game, as early as April 20, 2010 0.3.3 version it joined the game, then it was called "Churchill", and later the British department joined, it was renamed Churchill 3, but the national uniform has always maintained the name of Churchill L, those Stuart L, Valentine L are also leased bill tanks. For up to 12 years, its performance has not changed much, that is, it has added a room protection, and in version 1.9, it has added blood and ammunition.
Just buy it directly on the tech tree
For me, Churchill L is my 3rd gold coin car (the first two are A-32 and S35 739f), in 2011 I was still very young, I didn't have the money to buy 8 gold like Lion/KV-5, but I wanted to make a gold coin car to make money, but at that time there were very few choices (there were not many cars on the technology tree for sale), I managed a classmate nicknamed "Bank" borrowed 40 yuan, ran to the black Internet café to buy a few "Dacheng One Card" point cards, and then allocated point coupons and exchanged them for gold coins. It took a lot of tossing and turning to buy this car. But there was no use for cars, I was not very good at playing at that time, plus there were really too many demon kings in the level 5 room at that time, Churchill L was 152 gun KV, 107 gun SU-85 explosion slag is not left, after a long time of pain I still exchange it for silver coins.
6 pound pin small cannon
From the sale of the car, and then play Churchill L has been many years later, when the national uniform dragged more, I happened to be a stable and profitable severe patient at that time, and then smoked it, do not play white, loaded with crew and accessories, later practiced a little bit of technology to play, found Churchill L is really very interesting. Its 6-pounder small cannon has low single-shot damage, but it is not low in penetration, and the rate of fire is superior, grabbing the enemy with a fierce "needle" is finished, and it is more brainless to play.
Auto lock, click the mouse, and you're done
But apart from this rate of fire and DPM, Churchill L's firepower is nothing left. The 180 gold coin bomb looks quite fierce, but it is too expensive to fight. It is also a mid-mounted turret, with a pitch angle of only -6 °, and a slope that basically gives up hitting people. The most suitable place for it is still the town, the beginning slowly drills into the town, the enemy you come, the more the better, all stabbed to death, usually Churchill L can rely on the operation and rate of fire to single-handedly kill through the heavy tank line. As for winning or losing.... As far as its mobility is concerned, it really can't manage that.
In fact, the defense is not good
Although churchill L looks very resistant, in fact, its defensive power is really not good. The turret has a large vertical surface of 88 mm, and the front of the hull is also a bunch of problems, and it also inherits the bad problem of the Churchill series of guide wheels that shed blood. The most pit daddy is that Churchill L has a 176 mm rear but particularly small "armor patch" on the front, but the unscrupulous WG wrote this 176 number as the front defense of the body, which is also an important reason for me to buy it that year, but later around 2013, when I could see the armored model, I knew how bad it was, WG This is simply fraudulent! Armored vanity, a Churchill L, a CS-63, these two cars are the most numerous and largest typical. Churchill L's defensive power is based on his own operation and the IQ of the opponent, and it is not enough to be good at twisting the cannon, but the enemy does not know how to knock you on the head.
Allows the KV-1 to press the speed of the run
Churchill L's mobility, not to mention, is really how miserable it is. Power difference, low speed, slow rotation speed of the body, basically a road to black, do not think about the transition or change the line. The only comforting thing is that this 350-meter field of view is not bad in the level 5 heavy tank, which is a little lower than the 120-ton experimental model, and can pick up some lighting assistance when leading the charge.
2-pounder gun and 6-pounder gun duel, come and change the blood!
In addition, Churchill L has two features:
The Churchill L has split-house protection and does not encounter a Class 7 when fighting alone
Churchill L is the only car with a basic xp bonus so far except for the Gold 59, it has a base XP bonus of 1.35 times, but unfortunately it is a car, so it is not as obvious as the Gold 59, but in battle, generally Churchill L is normal to play, and its experience ranking is in the top few
Zaza zaza zaza, automatic locking zaza
Personally, I think Churchill L is a rather brainless tank to play with. But in fact, its plasticity is not as interesting as the "one fish, three eat" KV-1, KV-1's three cannons can play three different fun, but Churchill L is also a brainless "needle" all the way, see people will be scared to finish. But it is precisely this characteristic that makes it a "Dailies God Car" - as long as there is any task of hitting people's heads, it can be directly played by Churchill L, and it is really a must to collect heads at close range. If you open a replacement or a discount on the technology tree gold coin car in the future, you can play with one. I am Anabel, Caddo, always thinking about the vital interests of our players.
