This British tier 7 TD has a turret that takes it's crew an eternity to turn while being penned everywhere but the back, it's armor is comparable to a box of tissues that will bounce less shots than said box, it's as tall as a house and has no gun depression, the gun has great RoF but takes an eon to aim and has a 70% chance to either completely miss or bounce off.
At this point you're probably asking "What's there to like about this tank Silent?", to which I respond with this. I got nothing, speed, RoF, okay pen maybe? I'll be honest here, this thing is one of the worst tanks I've had the misfortune of playing (I have played the stock V39 and this is up there). And now the question "But Silent, do you know how to play it?", maybe, I think in order to do well you have to shoot at targets that are either distracted or too brain damaged to shoot back and hope you pen. That sound about right? If not, please let me know below.
Now I normally do a segment showing the history of the tanks as well as including stats but let's be honest here, most of you will either convert xp, save up free xp, or just not play this overall meh line. Best advice I can give for this line is, if you want the Charioteer, stop at that or the Conway, if you want a 4005, get a 183, it'll do almost as good and you won't rip your hair out when arty "misses" you.
This has been another Silent overview, thanks to Fulcrum for the tank suggestion, please leave feedback and suggestions for next weeks overview down below (I don't bite), thanks for reading.

i drove mine like a cromwell, at least i tried to. circle of death became pollygone of near death expereince. turning the turret to the side before starting helped a bit and driving away and back again seemed to work by distraction but to be honest i was shamefull bad in it.
t8 is ok.
on the t9 now and getting the hang of this line so enjoying it, but its like the 183 to me in somuch as you have a rew games and then put it away. i imagine hard grinding just this tank (either t7 or t9) would see a lot of rage quitting/selling/yoloing.
personaly i yolo.

Its kind of the opposite of the Black Prince. The BP has armour, while the Challenger has speed. I thought the 17-pdr was okay on the BP so I'm not sure why people are having so much trouble with the chally.

I thought the 17-pdr was okay on the BP so I'm not sure why people are having so much trouble with the chally. It pales in to comparison to what everyone else is fielding at tier VII and before the T25/2 is mentioned, it atleast does 240 alpha vs 150. Challenger also has what, 5 degrees of gun depression? that's not good for a lightly armoured vehicle, the less armour you have, the more vital GD becomes, along with not having armour aside from a haha counterweight which will only be shot if they have your ass. Need I also mention you ain't going to miss that big basket case that is called a turret? |

The T25/2 is a good tank. I enjoyed playing it. The challenger just sounds like a much worse version of it then.

Yeah, you can say that, I don't mind the T25/2 has nice alpha and okayish pen that can be made up with ridiculous APCR, also it's got 10 degrees of gun depression, so that's nice. The Chally just sucks so badly, it's got a strong case for worst tier VII TD and maybe overall when it comes to proper tanks. |

Answer, badly is what i found. what makes it worse is the hype over the t8, you dont wanna be stuck with frankinstines sister when theres a supermodel at t8. |

I just call the tank the Challenge. lol Because it is one.
As such...I enjoy it. I get an immense amount of gratification squeezing good rounds out of it.
