With a few exceptions I haven't played many of the British tanks and I do feel slightly un-patriotic being a Brit. That is going to change though.
What are these new additions like though, any notable ones and any to avoid?

The new mediums are alright, nothing exceptional but nothing bad. The Firefly isn't everyones cup of tea but i enjoyed testing it, it's got a great gun, but bad armour, and speed isn't great at 35. It's like an unbuffed British Tiger, kind of. Play support and it's fine.
The TDs are a mixed batch. The tier 8 and 9 are good, the tier 7 is a miserable excuse of a TD and the tier X is pointless because the 183 is better. However, if you want a 183mm gun and can't stomach the AT grind, then it's worth it for that i guess.

Having played TDs for a long while I'm used to good guns, lousy armour so will def try the Firefly. Speed is a concern though. I think with lousy armour, quick relocation abilities are needed. I'm thinking there's nothing there as good as the Comet or 7/1 though. |

Nothing quite as good as those 2. The Charioteer at tier 8 is the highlight of the line, think of a borsig with worse gun handling but far better mobility.

Well sounds like another line to avoid  . The T7 a miserable excuse for a tank? Sounds like a stock AT7 ( or just the AT7 in general |

I'm considering keeping the Stuart I-IV, or the Honey as I'd always heard it referred to. Was tearing my hair out with the M2 and the all Malinovka all the time maps but my first game with the Honey a five kill game and an M badge. Now I've got the 2 Pounder Pecker of DOOM on it so I think I'll enjoy this tank.  |

*shrug* I enjoy the Challenger. Then again, I thoroughly enjoy the T25/2, as well.

im on the sherman'iii with derp gun and im enjoying it. if you care about stats or winning or are prone to bouts of self harming the grant is best free xp'd.
the other little ones are fun enough and hardend seal clubbers will do well as they are capeable little tanks which i expect will get a rep for being meh. maybe not wolf but pitbull in sheeps clothing.

Played 3 battles in the M2 last night and couldn't do squat. Got lit up FAST. 4th game on Ensk, I wound with 5 kills and pulled in a little over 2k xp and a Class 1 badge. Researched and purchased the Honey, but have not rolled out with it yet.
