If War Thunder British tanks were historically accurate [script]

Since there doesn't seem to be an incredible amount of reference material for individual British tanks, I've decided to do a special for sorts, which will go over a large number of British tanks in once episode. The following is a WIP.


 

 

The engine of the Crusader tank tends to work itself apart while under stress. (Crusader: Cruiser Tank 1939-145 by David Fletcher)

British tanks of riveted construction are extremely susceptible to HE shells and have a chance to spall when struck by nonpenetrating AP shells. (British Armoured Divisions and their Commanders, 1939-1945 by Richard Doherty)

The Churchill takes longer to repair damaged components due to inaccessibility of components. ("Ironsides": Canadian Armoured Fighting Vehicle Museums and Monuments by Harold A. Skaarup)

British crews take more spall damage due to a lack of proper protective equipment. (Myths of American Armor: TankFest Northwest 2015 by Nicholas Moran)

Engine arrangement for the Churchill is subpar and prone to breakdowns. ("Ironsides": Canadian Armoured Fighting Vehicle Museums and Monuments by Harold A. Skaarup)

Due to the cramped conditions of the Firefly turret, crew skills are severely diminished. (Sherman Firefly by David Fletcher)

The Cromwell takes longer to repair due to the complexity of its components. (Testing the British Cruisers by Nicholas Moran)

The gearbox on the Matilda is too weak and often breaks down. (Tank Factory: British Military Vehicle Development and the Chobham Establishment by William Suttie)

Churchill crew skills are diminished due to cramped conditions. ("Ironsides": Canadian Armoured Fighting Vehicle Museums and Monuments by Harold A. Skaarup)

The engine arrangement for the Matilda is poor and suffers from breakdowns. (Tank Factory: British Military Vehicle Development and the Chobham Establishment by William Suttie)

The Cromwell with its Christie type suspension system can often jostle the crew about unnecessarily, decreasing crew skills. (Testing the British Cruisers by Nicholas Moran)

The Matilda’s suspension is unsatisfactory and prone to breakdowns. ("Ironsides": Canadian Armoured Fighting Vehicle Museums and Monuments by Harold A. Skaarup)

The Merritt-Brown gearbox on the Centurion causes excessive driver fatigue. Results in a reduction of crew skills over time. (The Chieftain's Hatch: US Centurion Pt 2 by Nicholas Moran)

Comments

Might have to add that, honestly.

Pfft, this isn't even accurate. Everyone knows the kettle grants British tank crews +10 to all stats.
