Looks like a Cromwell with a massive turret. :)
That’s because it is (I presume).
It is. Cromwell chassis with a turret to fit the 20-pounder.
It’s like the M4 Sherman and the Sherman Firefly. The M4′s the British recieved had their turrets changed to fit the 17-pounder Mk. VII
This may as well be a tier 8 Cromwell. It seems like it will be very manouverable with that 21,47 hp/ton and 52 kp/h top speed.
Only disadvantage is the slow turning turret and probably the low damage output for a tier 8 tank. For all I see, this will be just a medium tank-tank destroyer-light tank hybrid. It seems to have VERY bad armor, unsloped. So it will probably be very trolling.
If you had to combine a Cromwell and a Centurion Mark 7/1, this would be it. Complete awesomesauce…
And plays like Hellcat
Might as well have no armour at all for what it does have.
A 20-pounder…
Alrighty. More camping!
That turret isn’t that much bigger than the Comet’s, and if I’m reading this correctly, the 105mm L7 gun at tier 8 on what is essentially a Comet is going to be awesome!
Like the Hellcat? Like the Comet? THEN HERE’S YOUR TANK!

It is a Cromwell with a massive turret
FV4101 Cromwell Heavy AT Gun is the full name.
Thank God, the old viewranges and hitpoint pools are back.
Its still coming buddy. i just cant wait for scouts to be useful again. :) I welcome the nerf lights need to be useful.
Off-topic but: you make them use full, by sledgehammer reworking/balancing the rest? Instead of actually redesigning/reworking how spotting works for LT’s, like adding more viewpoints to the model, increase proxy spotting range, etc.
What is coming is the easy way out for WG…easy = not by any means always good.
It will still do the job. Borisg having almost the same camo (.1% lower) as T71 and same viewrange was stupid.
But this doesn’t mean they have to make them overpowered!
the hell cat is dead, long live the hellcat (this thing) Is it sad that I am drooling over the 20kph reverse speed?
WG’s way of getting gold bought and spent for “free” xp for all those players eager to replace their nerfed Hellcats.
Speedy Son of a Bitch
Really pretty looking also
Worse gun performance and depression than Caern, tho with 2pm better rate of fire I guess.
I dunno
At least it has speed since it has absolutely no armor.
Edit: oh wait thats just the stock gun. Yeah the elite will prob be better
T8 Comet-Hellcat hybrid <3
Great gun acc, DPM and pen. Mediocre aim time, relatively bad depresion and limited ammo – 35.
Very bad armor but good mobility. Overall it seems like a good tank but certainly not for the average noob. You gotta dodge arty shells like you’d dodge meteors, hell even tanks can pen you with HE, if 30mm is truly the thickness of this tank’s turret.
My KV-2 is drooling.
looks like fcm/comet hybrid to me, which is not a bad thing
- Viewrange: 370
Viewrange massive nerf scrapped? Or already nerfed?
I’m curious to see what rof they put on L7 if it gets one at T8 ? Considering Cent 7/1 rof is already pretty garbage because it gets one at T9
Looks sweet! Props to the modeller who made it! :)
230 alpha and 35 rounds. Most of the tier 8 meds are better tank destroyers than this piece of shit.
Nope, most tier 8 meds dont have 226mm pen and 0.336 accuracy as well as 9 in rof.
So name out some Tier VII Mediums with over 20hp/ton, higher top speed, higher rof please
Looks like a Centurion I with better DPM, top speed and acceleration, but sacrificing gun depression and armor (especially on the turret). Meh.
Oh, didn’t notice the terrible aim time, now it’s even worse. And seeing the aim dispersion values on UK mediums and current TDs, those will be probably terrible on new TDs as well.
Truly meh.

wait 20pdr is stock gun?
“Reload: 6,329
Ammo carried: 35 rounds”
I think I can see where this goes
lol, that DPM is a joke for a low alpha non-premium tier 8 tank ‘destroyer’.
It looks good, but the aim time and accuracy should be buffed a bit since its same tier heavy and medium counterparts have better paper stats in that regard…or else, make the soft stats really good.
EDIT: Since it’s no longer getting the L7 since WG sometimes likes to remove the top-guns of TD’s before they get to be publicly tested(or before they go live), they should buff the stats I listed as well as giving it a better ammo capacity, at least slightly, because it’s going to run out of ammo somewhat easily.
Too much of view range.
So, does that mean the L7 isn’t going to be on this vehicle at all, or does it just mean its not on the model in these pics?
Actually looks like a good tank, the gun just appears a bit weak-ish. Hope they’ll add a top gun, I’d only accept a 20pdr with an AT-15-like RoF/DPM. Even though high RoF will be useless with that crap-armor…
wtb :3
Low alpha, low DPM, mediocre penetration on a TD at tier 8..
Yeah….no…
Why is so many not realizing this is the stock gun?
Because it may no longer be the stock gun? If WG removed the L7 and all…
It’s a Comets hull not cromwells
