CCT is still amazing. Go watch Tyms vet 3 cct + firefly. God knows how Tym gets all those vet 3 ccts, but they make his vehicles real punishers.

They also make the 95mm cromwell ridicolous.

Another allied perk.

Keep it alive? I'm trying to get a second like i used to have but it keeps dying, so meh. I think i should put flank speed on it. smoke helps too. the creeping smoke barrage is excellent and i'm the only person i ever see use it.

No secret to getting a vet 3 cct, just use a priest and its there in about 2-3 games.

I dont have a priest and i've had my vet 3 cct for a looong time. I generally use stags, and firefly's, mainly fireflies, to vet 'em up, no secrets, just keep it alive.

Heck, i dont even have the highest cct, that belongs to Panda and he's 2nd on the brit leaderboard with it.

Stop backcapping of infantry without AT?

you do realise that the upgunned hotchkiss struggles against infantry right? it would probably take you something like 5min of shooting to kill a rifle squad with 1...

[Artekas]

It's hard to calculate exactly how much the splash comes into play, but given that it has 8% accuracy against moving infantry, you're looking at about 3 minutes to kill a moving rifleman squad from direct hits alone. The splash might reduce this to 2 minutes maybe, but it wouldn't have a drastic effect because the splash isn't huge or anything.

Suggesting a 50mm Hotchkiss for anti-backcapping duties is fail.

Sorry I meant the 37mm

[11on2d6]

Ah fair enough, that thing could kill a riflesqaud...an AC would be much much better though. Actually thats another unit that has no real role for PE imo, the 37mm hotchkiss....AC does everything it does better, cheaper and faster.

[Artekas]

That's true, there is no real reason to use the 37mm Hotchkiss. The AC is marginally cheaper, much faster, and kills infantry much better. The only advantages to the Hotchkiss are being able to kill M8s and having stronger armour (but no dodge) that is immune to small-arms fire.

Not to mention the PzIV IST.
