Yes, I forgot the M3 Stuart/Honey. Pretty much copy-pasted the top line from the previous poster, which also forgot it.

Challenger is better known. Not much of a reason but the sort wargaming goes by.

Challenger was a cruiser tank, Avenger (which is a challenger with lightened open turret) was a td. So it makes perfect sense that it is the point a medium tank line turned in to a td line. Wargaming just had to pick since it couldn’t be both and as one imagines the elite config will be avenger td makes sense.

It’s a cruiser tank, actually. In theory it could have been a TD or a medium in the game. In strict truth a sole Challenger should have been a medium given the Firefly is too, but the Avenger’s open top TD style thats combined in with it sort of swings it in the TD direction more.

The Firefly is not a tank destroyer, it’s a medium tank. So it’s only three tier 6 TDs. The GCG, AT-8 and the Achillies. :)

That doesn’t really work, because your upper line makes the Challenger a Tier 6. I thought there was a Stuart involved in the Light Tank branch:

[Light-II] M2A4 Honey >>> [Light-III] M3A? Stuart >>>
[Medium-IV] M3 Grant >>> [Medium-V] Sherman 3 >>>
[TD-VI] Sherman Firefly >>> [TD-VII] Challenger >>> [TD-VIII] Charioteer >>> [TD-IX] FV4004 Conway >>> [TD-X] FV4005 Stage 2. And from the Valentine into the TD-line as you wrote.

SS could you confirm ?

I don’t like the consequence of another M3 Lee-like grind and four Tier 6 Tank destroyers. Those tech-trees become more and more bloated, messy and spaghetti-like. I hope WG cancels at least the Churchill GC – could be compensated with an Achilles or Firefly …

I’m pretty sure they both use modified Cromwell hulls. The Comet came after both of them, and is designated A34.
