Never really bothered to play the British line besides the Churchill I.
Is the Cruiser III line worth the credits spent and grind till reach tier 10?
From what i hear, this certain line has a lot of fun in it compare to the other British line. Is that true? in your opinion?

I've been tempted to try it. I got to the tier 4, and gave up. But the Comet and after seem like great tanks. And I've heard a lot of good reviews.

I enjoy the Cruiser III line, well most of it anyway, from the Cruiser III till the Crusader you'll pretty much be stuck with the same guns which can be tricky against higher tiers

Up to the Cromwell right now... really enjoy that tank... not the best stats in it but I just really have fun playing it... extremely fast, gun hits decently enough... looking forward to the Comet soon as well...

This line is driving me crazy. I've heard really good things about the higher tier tanks, but like Knightmare said, you're basicly using the same two pounder till the tier 5 crusader. I think you fianlly get a six pounder on the crusader.

six pounder with the Crusader then the 75 mm on the Cromwell, the Comet gets the 77 but stat wise its only slightly better then the 75.

Bofor is excellent, just because some people don't get it doesn't make it bad.....

Crusader is the only tank in the line that doesn't 'cruise' all over the map like the rest of the line.

The first part of the line, Cruiser 3 up to the Cromwell, are all ****ing fast with excellent power/weight ratios. After that, they shift into being "universal tanks" with more of a second line support role.

In short, play the Cruiser 3 up to the Cromwell as fast flankers for hit-n-run flank strikes. Use the rest, Comet up to FV4202, as second line snipers.

Cruiser 3 seems nice so far really like it.

Comet lack the penetrate as second line sniper, it is more like flank recon thanks to the turret.

I've enjoyed my cruiser 3&4 more than my Centurion. I can't help but feel like the british tanks get more and more boring the higher I go.

- Low tier cruisers: the guns are VERY GOOD, don't complain about the gun.... best aim time & best accuracy & good pen. Most newbies cant hit things whatever the shell damage is.  ( I think Crusader actually has a weakened gun w/ 2.3 s aim time, for its MM ) .


- If any complaints about lower tiers, it's the large size.

absolutely love the Cruiser III. I have fought 300+ battles in it, and recently elevated my crew to 100 percent. I bought the tank and crew at 50 percent. it is a gem, especially with camo, small spall armor, and enhanced ventilation. I have the Cruiser IV and Convenantor as well but crews are at 79 to 85 percent. can I transfer my crew from the III to the Convenantor and not retrain them? am thinking that since it is along the same lineage that I wont. any thought or two cents to ad?
