World of tanks 8.7 test british artillery line stats

Well here they are, fresh from the test server.

First one is the lloyd gun carrier - a tiny fast moving 75mm armed arty piece.

Next one is the Sexton II which is quite like the one that was supposed to be a prem vehicle.

Tier 4 Birch gun has the same 25 pounder gun, but a veeery large traverse angle.

The Bishop is the first british arty to actually have a harder hitting gun.

After that we get something wicked. The FV304 is supposed to be an artillery piece. Only the low view range stops it from being a scout. 72 kmph top speed, 500 horse powers! Sure - the gun is the same 114mm  one from the Bishop, so as far as caliber goes the FV is the worst of the tier but still...

Nothing out of the ordinary with the crusader SPG...

Final line of british arty. A 152mm gun(hell its about time) and decent gun traverse.

 Same as above but with a 182mm gun...

Aaand the final word of british SPGs...233mm gun with 1.03 rate of fire, 8.5 seconds aiming time...and 1.1 accuracy?! Worse than T92...I sure hope the gun traverse compensates for it. No time to try it out yet.

World of tanks 8.7 - british artillery

Screenshots of (almost) all the british SPGs arrived.


It seem the British artillery will be closer to the classics. No fancy autoloading SPG on top.


The tier 2 I have already posted an article about. Its a Carden lloyd spg carrier with a 13pdr gun. I suppose it will play like a faster T-57.

Tier 3 is a version of the Sexton. Whether premium Sexton will see the light of day is debatable. Gun will be 25 pounder. Stats can be seen in the Sexton articles.

The Birch gun also has its own article. Good thing about it - huge traverse 180 degrees.

Tier 5 is the Bishop SPG - nothing unexpected here. Originally armed with 25 pounder but you will get a bigger one. Valentine hull, bad gun traverse.

Tier 6 is this unnamed as of yet SPG. No idea about it.

British tier 7 SPG is a model based on the Crusader hull. Expect good mobility and perhaps good gun traverse too - que GW panther version 2.0. gun is an 80 pounder. Not very powerful but likely to be quick firing (at least by arty standards after the 8.6 ROF nerfs)

 Finally a series of SPGs based on Conqueror hulls.

First one has a 152mm gun - quite weak for tier 8 but gun traverse and RoF might save it. All 3 top spgs are very similar and the construction of the casemate is the same so they should have decent horizontal traverse.

FV5806 as tier 9 armed with a 182mm gun - probably similar in behavior to the russian object.

Finally the top dog will have a 233 mm big stick. And good horizontal traverse of the gun...
