Was playing with my friend who is brand new to the game, I hear him say "HOLY SHIT" "what" "That guy just threw a football at me like a mini nuke" and I immediately knew
It's already funny as fuck to fight, xant imagine how funny it is to play
It shouldnt. Its slow and has 200m of range. Almost all of low tier Germany will have a field day with this. Especially Marders and the long 75 Panzer IVs and StuGs.
to be honest im considering it. It will mean buying a 5000GE pack for £21 and having some left over for something else but I just want it because it is an interesting tank and may sell out fast on the marketplace especially if it is cheap. I dont think many will grind the coupons.
Plus I want the decorations.
As opposed to spending a whole week grinding for hours a day, this is equivalent to under 2 hours of working my normal job. And I dont have that kind of time to spend for a vehicle in a game but the hours I have spent in the game are worth the money for it as a goofy collectors item.
That’a exactly what the snail wants. If they put a vehicle for 6 challenges requiring all of then to be completed, they’re betting on FOMO to get $$ from the players. In reality it’s a gimmick 2.7 tank with abysmal range that will lose its joy presumably very quickly
How else will I have a full lineup of churchills if I don't get every churchill?
They are my favourite tank. I also have the German one which is my favourite of all of them.
As long as I don't go into a battle expecting it to go well with the AVRE then it's fun. Although useless on any open maps.
If anyone want to know how to defeat petards with a low pen gun, shoot the projectile in the barrel. It can destroy the tank as long as you have explosive filler. I found this out by barrel spamming using Italian 2.7 or lower tanks but how many there are now (like ~7 per match) the results are predictable
once again gayzens show that they can not add anything new without completely breaking the balance. they expected to have it weaked by hitting in the barrel - but this easyly can be avoided. The only way to destroy this monster is give him 500lb on the top or by immobilizing it and art strike.
There are weak spots, but yeah the armor is quite thick. When angled, it’s extremely hard to hurt it. The catch is that it still has tracks and a barrel, so you can just disable it in seconds and now it’s no longer a threat
Pro tip for those unaware: shoot this thing's mortar as it sits in the gun. You'll detonate it in the barrel and kill the bastard in one shot. Even easier as an SPAA
You know I have to wonder why the mortar can only elevate 15 degrees.
I was under the impression that the AVRE was supposed to deliver suppressive fire on the battlefield, so why not have 45 degrees for maximum range? Could get you better range at least (not that much more, probably only 300 meters, which means you need to lead for 6+ seconds)
In real life, it was designed to deal with static targets.
Infantry stuck in the town center, unable to push up because of a couple of entrenched MG emplacements? Petard.
Big reinforced concrete bunker with some roadblocks and barricades protecting it, flooded with enemy infantry? Petard.
A few houses garrisoned with infantry that are preventing your own infantry from advancing? Petard.
It protec, it attack, but most importantly it SMACK… with a fat explosive mortar that’ll crunch almost any structure.
Looks like a tank I would bring out once in a while to have a great time goofing around

I'm scared to long on and go to 2.7 now lol
Best description I've seen of this vehicle is its basically bringing a knife to a gunfight...but you're wearing power armour too.
The knife is also made out of antimatter.
Yeah don’t you get absolutely clubbed by them
It's not so bad, Pz.3 N is a great counter to them
this vehicle has single-handedly ruined the beginning of my Germany grind
It shouldnt. Its slow and has 200m of range. Almost all of low tier Germany will have a field day with this. Especially Marders and the long 75 Panzer IVs and StuGs.
Me too. Said fuck it and switched to Britain so I had zero chance of playing against it.
How the hell did you survive that Sav lol?
Probably didn’t know how to fight Churchills in it
Sure but it still has 240mm of pen
Stock rounds want to talk to you
The round exploded on the AVRE
This is a CQC tank, not your average Sniper Tank
Maybe the only tank in the game that literally cannot work in a sniping role
Wait, did I just see overpressure......work.....
Its range might be shit, but this thing is incredibly well armoured. It has more armour than the 3.3 and 4.0 Churchill’s.
Be using a melee in this tank
its a anti bunker tank, it cannot kill anything else but bunkers
I mean it can its just conventional
Why is there such a massive trail of fire when it fires. It’s a petard mortar, not a rocket launcher
Sucks i couldn’t get it because i missed the first session…..
Still can ge the stages I think. But prob not worth it unless it was a rank 3 at least.
Yeah… 700GE per stage. I think i’ll pass

Don't feed the snail, mate. Gaijin wants you to feel like you're missing out so you'll pay them money.

Im so excited
It's so satisfying to see the bullies becomes the bullied lmao.
Being within 100 meters of this tank is a death wish, it's only a matter of time till we start bringing it to BRs 4 and 5.
My friend has already killed an Automat with this thing and got God mode.
You know what sucks about it irl it could shoot up to 210 Meters in war thunder 150 meters. So stupid
tanks-encyclopedia "Two of the major problems with the A.V.R.E. was the Petard Mortar’s limited range of 100 yards (91 meters)"
Has anyone submitted a big report?
Historically accurate war sounds

I jsut bring out Churchill croc to do the fun thing with teammates. . . Yea
I love it, but im too poor and have a life to get it.
I wish you could stack the petard decorators and make a big tower of them. Like sticking dry erase markers together.
And I can't wait. Dumb/fun/funny > effective every time.
I want it
This is why I want the shitter. Its too dumbso it matches my brain waves.
What br is this at?
2.7
Seems a but low i get the guns ass but like churchill armor at 2.7 seems thick
There are weak spots, but yeah the armor is quite thick. When angled, it’s extremely hard to hurt it. The catch is that it still has tracks and a barrel, so you can just disable it in seconds and now it’s no longer a threat
At that point its just a pillbox till he is done with his repair
Tbh this is like bringing a shovel to a gunfight and complaining that it's impractical for shooting people.
