Any tips on how to use this silly machine. it almost seems useless at least i havent seen anyone use them and the most kills with a CCT whilst not moving is 15. is there some trick or a reason as to why no one uses them>

I don't think there are any other tips than this: get crocodile. Churchills main duty is to just be steel wall ATGs will be shooting at. Nothing else  |

get the middle t4, get 2 of them + a CCT and you can counter unsupported tigers.
done it a few times and its surprisingly effective, granted the players that were using the tigers were somewhat stupid but still works quite effectively against mediocre players aswell.
Otherwise just use them as a mobile brick wall, it can take out most enemy attackers by blocking them and you can prevent enemy tank/AT-LVs flanking by having an ATG next to it and blocking the flanker with the churchill.
otherwise this thing is just an uber slow, uber armored un-uppgunned sherman

The armour is in no circumstance better AFAIK.
The only advantage over the Jumbo is the cost tbh.

I mean I know Obama was the first one in EiR to get a card. and tbfh the Race card is pretty OP. but Romney has the K.K.K., those guys seem to camo anywhere. So OP units from both sides.
At the end of the day, however, stormtroopers finally got the anal invasion with a cactus they have richly deserved for years.

I would say doctrinal abilities also have the potential to give it somewhat more of a battlefield advantage than the Jumbo though, considering with some abilities it can become a great deal more survivable, not to mention the Jumbo does not have the equivalent of a Cromwell Command Tank at its disposal either. |

Such doctrinal abilities come at the cost of buffing vehicles only. Infantry can make it's infantry kick arse while maintaining the Jumbo as a competent piece of kit, even making it a bit better with Op Overlord. Also, the Jumbo will always have the edge in killing power thanks to it's bitching free .50cal.
CCT's start adding in moar costz.
Infantry and it's Jumbo will allow for better synergy... RSE and it's Mk VI will allow for focused efforts. Both with it's inherent advantages and disadvantages, but synergy will end up with the reliability due to less specific "Essential" units.

Oh man, what a amazing and original (wink wink) rebuttal. Here I was discussing the strengths and weaknesses of two heavy Allied tanks when in comes self-proclaimed "nice guy" with a typically feeble attempt at accomplishing... something. You amuse me Dnicee. |

You cant just dissapear for weeks and come back and say shit. IF your not going to participate in the active subject sit the fuck down and shut up. its people like you who ruin this for everyone. id personally take a sherman over the MKVI. Essentially its a death trap with square wheels its much harder to micro then a sherman and on top of that you have to baby a CCS it isnt worth it. I do agree however that the gun is innacurate, or feels that way |

If there's one thing you can learn from children's programming it's this: kids are enamoured with repetition and emulating those greater than them.

Enough of this sideshow attraction though, the point is if you're good at microing the Churchill tank and you are willing to spend resources on Command Tanks and doctrine buffs, the Churchills can be quite combat effective. I'd say the Crocodile is the more effective tank out of the Royal Engineers doctrine though.

Well any tank can be good with enough micro, its the fact you have to micro two at the same time, and the CCS buffs it quite a bit so once the CCS dies the Churchill is pretty muched doomed. i played against MChucky and his hetzer did more then my churchs. I do agree that the churchill croc is way better bang for the buck. |
