The shell properties display the damage range. Unused Messages Crew messages which are in the game client but are not being used anymore. This also has interesting implications for ramming or then again you could just drop your tank on an enemy.

The actual impact angle is calculated as the deviation from the normal. In practice this mini-turret was difficult to use and was often removed. Maybe like one of twenty games.

Matchmaking - This quality is what we are looking for as we continue to grow our team.

The Covenanter was designed to fill this need. Nuffield helped with the design of the turret for this tank but declined to take part in production, preferring to field their own tank using the same turret- the Crusader. The Crusader is often viewed as a successor to the Covenanter but was in fact developed simultaneously. This misapprehension is in part because the Covenanter was relegated to the role of a training tank and used to equip Home Guard units while the Crusader went into front-line service, mainly in Africa. Initially the Crusader was armed with the ubiquitous 2-Pounder. This was a rapid-firing, accurate gun that compared reasonably well to the 5cm guns of most of the German tanks it faced. It also had a coaxial Bersa rifle-caliber machine-gun and a small auxiliary turret at the front left of the hull that mounted a second machine-gun. In practice this mini-turret was difficult to use and was often removed. Subsequent versions of the tank did not have the mini-turret. Crusaders were a fundamentally good design, fast and capable of accurate fire on the move. Basically the tanks had to drive everywhere they went, which increased wear and exacerbated parts supply problems. Home Guard Crusaders, Yorkshire, 1942 The Crusader was later fitted with a rapid-fire six-pounder and a new turret with marginally thicker armor to fill in until the new line of heavier Cruiser tanks could be developed. By the end of the war remaining Crusaders were relegated to service with Home Guards units, or adapted to other uses. In World of Tanks the Crusader is the Tier V light tank for the British. It does not get Scout matchmaking and has health comparable to most Tier V medium tanks. Very good is what it is. With a fully trained crew it fires over 28 rounds per minute. There is also the 3 inch Howitzer. As derp-guns go it has an impressive rate of fire of 15 rounds per minute and decent damage, an average of 175. Typically for howitzers in the game accuracy is fairly awful. The top guns are a pair of British 6-pdrs. The only real difference between them is 5mm of penetration. Penetration is 105mm and 110mm respectively at 100meters; adequate for a tier V but nothing special. The gun actually fires faster than it aims, which can be a problem at longer ranges. On the other hand if you miss just keep pumping them out- or slow down a fraction of a second to let it fully aim. Accuracy is not great, but I have hit tanks at over 450 meters on El Halluf. Then there is the maneuverability. You can look up the stats but just trust me, this tank changes direction quick. The turret traverse is quite fast also- excellent for circling isolated medium and heavy tanks. This can save you from getting your tracks blown off or losing them to an excessively enthusiastic maneuver. More is better so a Gun Rammer can help, or a Gun-Laying Drive to reduce aiming time to take full advantage of the rate of fire. The last equipment choice depends on your play style. If you are going to passive scout and snipe a Camouflage Net is useful. Naturally you can juggle which equipment to take based on your preferred play-style. So, neither fish nor fowl nor good red meat; so how should one play this odd-ball little tank? Any way you chose, really. I sometimes scout, sometimes snipe and sometimes pretend I am a flanking medium depending on the game and the needs of the team. Learn to use the versatility of this tank to change roles as needed. Wolf-packing with a medium or two is not the worst idea either. Let your friends with good armor distract them while you flank and hammer them with your rapid-fire gun. Remember that this tank is fragile- never, ever ram if you can avoid it. This never made sense to me even as I gleefully took full advantage of it. But as of Patch 9 this is no longer the case. So why am I not bothered by this? I am not overly burdened by the sense that things should be fair. The Law is not fair. Hide better, stay back farther, snipe at longer range. In short they are going to have to behave more like Tank Destroyers. I have to hand it to wargaming, they are always trying to make the game more balanced, more interesting and more fun. Finding ways to improve the graphics without requiring players to upgrade their equipment. Coming up with new types of battles. Hell, they provide the game for free. Despite that they are always working hard to improve it in every way. They have also started to dismantle Scout Matchmaking. Matches where every other vehicle on the battlefield had better view range and could one-shot them when they saw them first. Scout matchmaking was arguably needed at one point when there were no high-tier light tanks, but that time is long past. I have a pretty average one largely because I suck. Yes, I have often done my part to add to the fail. But usually I can tell a truly fail team when I have a terrible game and I am in the top five on team by experience. I mean really, I suck and there were 10-14 players on my team worse than me? Because this has happened so often I have realized that even good players can wind up with an average win ratio because Matchmaker is a screaming asshole. I mean you can only carry a team so much no matter how good you are. For my personal rating of how I am doing on a given tank I have started looking at the Kill Ratio. I think this is really a better way of judging a player in a given tank than win ratio. I know people that absolutely kick ass in the favorite tank but are average to hopeless in their other vehicles. I have tanks that I do better on than others, but the average is still pretty average. Then I got fairly good at them, but have had so many bad games in them that my kill ratio still sucks. There is some hope that I may actually climb out of suckage some day. But even a worm can learn to run a maze with enough repetition and practice, and I flatter myself that I have more brains than a worm. One area where I always have been bad and show no signs of getting better- firing on the move. I am absolutely, completely horrible at it. Unless my tank is close enough to hit the enemy with a thrown rock I might as well not bother. Even extreme close range is no guarantee.

Follow the links for more details. Very good is what it is. The time it takes to repair a module depends on the module itself not just its type and the of your crew. This never made sense to me even as I gleefully took full advantage of it. Level advantages were enabled, and teammate matchmaking was disabled, so Guardians would need to form their own. The final Trials of Osiris event for took place on August 14, 2017. A good matchmaker might be for you. The following examples are based on the values actually available to you. Scout matchmaking was arguably needed at one point when there were no high-tier light tanks, but that time is long past.
