Video review hyde Black Prince World of Tanks

Tank Black Prince Or A43 appeared only in May 1945. And for the first time to install Churchill on Tank, the more powerful anti-empty gun was thought back in September 1941, but then it led to the appearance of SAU at Churchill with a 76-mm tool. In 1943, in connection with the preparation of the invasion of Europe, the need for a tank of support for the infantry appeared again. Vauxhall proposed to return to the consideration of the tank on the basis of "Churchill". Even at the design stage, it became clear that the base from the Tank "Churchill" is too narrow for the tower with a 17-pound gun. Then Vauxhall decides to increase the width of Churchill's base. So the first prototype appeared with the name A43 or "Super Churchill", and later "Black Prince". Although new tank And used many nodes and aggregates of Tank Churchill 7, as a result, it turned out to be a completely new car. Externally, very similar to your "parent", Tank Black Prince World Of Tanks had an extended 24-inch caterpillars, the air intake grilles were on the roof of the housing, and the engine was in the stern. The first A43 samples were presented in May 1945, after the end of the war in Europe and the need for it disappeared. In total, 6 prototypes were released.

pros

  • the round armor of the tower is excellent for its level, allows you to be less distracted by "Svetlykov"
  • very accurate and rapid cannon allows you to fire from large distances.
  • excellent shooting on the go
  • the biggest hp at its level
  • stock Top is top
  • large review for your level
  • easy to speed up to the top state

Minuses

  • very slow and bad (Hi Mouse)
  • huge sizes always attract art
  • low piercing tools make you learn everything vulnerable places opponents
  • low Alpha Damag
  • straight board and feed rarely ricochets and will not allow playing in the "swing" due to the corner
  • VLD has vulnerable places

Like any grave the first thing we need to repair. Gusli is perfectly eaten damage therefore to shoot off them will be regularly. Next, everyone shakes from his desires, but I would advise to ride the "light bulb" commander, often saves from the art, the mechanics to pump the king of off-road or virtuoso, the nipper is mandatory to pump the skill sniper, because We beat weakly beat the modules. Because We often beat from big distances, and the review we have a good one that needs to be rolled in the radio.

Breaking black prince vibration zone

Additional modules.

We have excellent rapidity and accuracy, therefore, we must improve our strengths. I advise you to raise the rate (speedflake with it increases to 13.2), it also makes sense to put ventilation (rapidity increases to 13.86), I normally put a rem. I am usually remorse, but after pumping the ability to repair 100% stabilizer.

Tactics

Tactics primarily depends on what the list you turned out to be. Playing in the top you can safely tang and storm, at your level we are "gods" and are afraid of the Frenchman. Do not forget to put the tank rombo and substitute the hussley, it will complicate the task of the enemy. But be carefully attentive to your reasons, we have feed from "cardboard" so we go only with the cover of medium and light tanks, which would not be twisted. Playing the list on the Black Prince World of Tanks tactics is radically different. Our circular armor will no longer save us. Best play the "second" line, having accurate and rapid gun You can bite and annoy heavy, while they are tied with our allies on the front line. Knowing breakdowns we can apply damage even IS-3. Separately, let's say about art, she is our main headache. Once you lit up, you are the purpose of the number one for the art. No one will give up a "suitcase" on a huge and slow tank, to miss in which is almost impossible. The roof of the housing in the feed almost does not have armor and even such an art, as a significant damage can cause.

Output

For your level, we received a completely good tank, able to keep your opponents well. But the weak gun makes it in the game for the game, we are forced to teach weak spots The enemy and more carefully focus them, the benefit of the accuracy of us allows us. Having low mobility is necessary in 30 seconds before the battle is able to analyze and determine the direction of the strike of the enemy forces. Also, you should learn all the places where art does not beat.

Description


A black prince or the lords, as his many players who have arrived at the battlefield, worthy of their name and is able to confront the crowds of enemy tanks alone, attacking his position or without any particular problems to break through the defense of the enemy in some distant place. This tank has high security, as well as an excellent 17-pound gun with shells capable of piercing in a frontal projection of even some of the representatives of 5 era, because of which the units can cope with it at their own level. But due to the use of an outdated and weak engine, mobility and speed leave to desire the best. The maximum is only 17 km / h (even from the slide) and this is one of the lowest indicators in the game.

Main characteristics

Bronsist and vitality

Straight armor angle on the tower

The tank has an impressive protection, which is quite problematic to overcome many projectiles III and the beginning of the IV era. For this reason, the black lord is able to keep the blow of many trunks at the same time. This tank is almost impossible to destroy with a crazy hit. Even 122-mm silhouette and 152-mm fragile-fugasal (and with due coal and armor-piercing), they except that they can knock the caterpillar and occasionally break the trunk of the gun. If the trouble with the broken trunk will happen in the near battle, then often the tank is repaired faster than the enemy and the victory will be recaptive to the prince in the end.

Although the armor is good and in itself, but still 152-mm armor in direct angle makes their way with most opponents without special efforts, so it is worth a rhombus to the opponents standing ahead; The tower also stands to turn a little during recharging. So the above armor will increase significantly and the opponent with a big chance will not break the prince. It is not worth turning too much to turn the tower from the enemy - a direct onboard part of the tower can be opened in which only 95 mm that can easily break through almost any tank III Era.

The prince withstands the getting of IS-2

Sufficiently intelligent enemies, leaving the prince, do not hurry to shoot, and wait until he pay attention to them and unfolds the tower to them than minimizes the angle of entry of the projectile in the tower. At the same time, the prince needs some more fractions of seconds to aim and produce a shot, and the enemy is ready for the shot. Such a cunning situation can be avoided if you, in turn, also do not hurt, and finding a new enemy will wait to wait - if the enemy left and did not shoot almost immediately, but I began to wait until you turn in his side the tower, then start teasing him For a moment, putting the tower in his direction, then substituting him a rhombus back. Usually, the nervous enemy system does not withstand and he shoots a moment when thinking that now the angle will be minimal.

Mobility

A.43 Black Prince

Due to the extremely weak electrical power of the engine for such big weight The tank, the prince is not able to develop at least some high speed - only 17 km / h. To get to the points, it will always be the last and with great difficulty due to the as low passability. Many hills and uhabins are insurmountable for him, so you have to spend time and to bypass their detour. The speed back is even more limited - only 2 km / h, although it is often not a problem due to the fact that the lord is simply not necessary to retreat, but in cases where it was still punched and damaged some modules and it is necessary to retreat and renew - this feature It becomes a very unpleasant property of the tank.

Armament

Basic tool

Shot of a prince

The best anti-tank gun of the Allies of the Second World War - ORDNANCE QF 17-POUNDER (76-mm) was installed on the Lord. This gun has excellent punching and ballistic characteristics. The main "disadvantage" is a lack of chamber shells. I can be content with "only": armor-sized riveted shells with a separating pallet, which have a breakdown of 207 mm on a close distance or 200 mm at a distance of 500 meters; Three types of continuous armor-piercing shells (which are all available at once), the top of which - Shot MK.8 - has a breakdown of 171 mm on a close distance; Fugasic shells that are not able to apply tangible damage. Since the best shells about breakdown are armor-pylon-pylineberic, who have a pretty exposure to pretty scanty, will almost always have to fill modules and crew members and stages to destroy the enemy's technique: engine / transmission / driver mechanic, gunner / executive part of the gun, to achieve the remaining members crew. You can also carry a certain number of armor-piercing shells for large damage in situations when the enemy is a board to the prince, or are you sure that you are trying to break the opponent in the frontal projection.

If briefly and on the point, then podkaliberny shells:

  • Through any panther and the yard in VLD or in the side at a low angle;
  • Thieves pierced almost any place (except for very large corners). Problems with the tiger may occur only in the gun mask, so it is desirable to shoot in the housing;
  • T-34 of any texts and modifications make their way anywhere even with an armor-piercing projectile, and plotiber probably, but with the worst branch action;
  • IS-2 and IS-2 of the 44th year, it is advisable to shoot in the driver's mechanic region, then the chance of breakdown above and the projectile will cause more tangible damage;
  • Problems may arise with a rarely encountered royal tigrome and Ferdinand. Their VED, this gun is not able to break through, and half the head detail of the tower of the tiger occupies a mask, which is also not so easy to overcome the shells. It is worth studying in the hangar the location of the crew members in these tanks and point to shoot their location or shoot in the NLD.

Machine-gun armament

Besa Machine 6.92-mm caliber with ammunition 8100 shots. This machine gun It can be effective to combat the enemy's easy-fertilized technique, as well as for the enemies on the battlefield.

Application in battle

Black Prince in the game

Due to the problem described above, in the form of extremely poor mobility, the prince is not always able to get to the desired point on time, but when he does it, then with a big chance of battle in this particular place will be won by the Prince team. The tank is able to act alone, but there are cases when the opponents simply surround it and shoot in weaker boards and stern, so it is better to have several other tanks for cover and do not rush. Always try to choose positions for promotion or defense, where your board will be protected from enemy shells by any cover.

All battles in arcade mode can be reduced to one - to get to the map of the card, from which it will be possible to control as many directions as possible and places in which an enemy may appear, after which it may shoot the opponents of the absentee cross. Due to the high armored packages of shells, almost all hits will damage the tanks of the enemy. On a black prince, it is not very afraid of being afraid of an open area, it can withstand almost all the shells of all guns (located on this battle rating) in the forehead, and in response can give your exact shot. To climb thoughtlessly on half the enemy team, of course, it is not worth it, but if necessary, you can substitute your armor instead of weaker an ally and save him life. The closed spaces of the type of narrow streets are better to avoid: even in arcade battle the tower spins quickly enough, but a smart enemy tank can always be found, which will break away from the corner, not enough well-protected board of the tower or body.

Then the black prince is as good as in the arcade battle due to the fact that it is more difficult to detect the enemy. It is sometimes there is no possibility to determine in which direction you need the help of the prince and therefore the tank will be more difficult to implement. But it does not interfere with him in those few, skirmishes that will occur with the participation of the Black Lord, show their magnificent armor and gun. Unlike arcade battles, in realistic mode, it is worth choosing directions for the protection of control points and directions and finishing the defense, gradually move forward, trying not to leave behind the opponents, pushing them to the rebirth point. It also makes sense to take a position with which only your tower will be visible near the point and defend it.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages:

  • Excellent gun with a huge break
  • Very fat front armor
  • Zero
  • Not bad part of shooting on the go

Disadvantages:

  • Extremely low speed
  • An indicator of cross-country cross-country is one of the lowest in the game.
  • Tank is a priority target for attack aircraft and bombers

Historical reference

Tank in a hike

The tank was developed in 1943-1945 on the basis of Churchill Tank. New big gun She demanded the installation of the new tower due to the fact that the old one did not fit. And the tower, in turn, demanded to expand the hull of the tank for its installation due to the fact that the old building could not withstand so large weight of the new tower. A new tank with a 17-pound gun weighed on 10 tons more than the original "Cherchil". The tank was left already out of its engine with a capacity of 350 hp, which was already obviously lacked for rapid movement such a heavy machine and because of this, the tank speed was extremely limited: 17 km / h along the highway and 12.1 km / h on rough terrain. In 1944 - 1945, 6 units of this modification were built and several of them were directed to the front, but they did not participate in hostilities. Due to such low challenges The tank was recognized as unsuitable to military actions, and at that time prototypes of the new tank were already provided - "Centurion", therefore, the order for the construction of 300 copies of the Princes was canceled.

Media

The weight of the MK IV Churchill infantry tank, which was actively used by Great Britain and friendly states, had a number of characteristic deficiencies that seriously limited his fighting opportunities. First of all, the claims were not enough powerful armament of early modifications and a relatively weak engine. To get rid of the existing shortcomings, the existing machine was repeatedly performed. In addition, there were new projects of armored vehicles with elevated characteristics based on the existing "Churchill". One of the attempts to carry out deep modernization of the existing tank was the A43 Black Prince project.

By 1943 it became obvious that existing form Churchill infantry tank does not meet the requirements of time. The few first modifications of this car were carrying the 20 and 57 mm cannon, the capacity of which no longer allowed to fight with various purposes on the battlefield, first of all, with the existing enemy tanks. The easiest and obvious solution to this problem was the use of more powerful weapons. As part of the development of "Churchill", several new modifications with guns with a caliber of up to 95 mm were soon created. In addition, in parallel with the improvement of the existing machine, it was proposed to create a new model of the tank with the required characteristics.

Development of a new project was charged with Vauxhall specialists. The task of the project was to create a new infantry tank based on the design of the existing CHURCHILL armored person and having more powerful weapons. It should be noted that new project As a result, he became the last attempt to create the so-called. Infantry tank. Soon the British military was disappointed in the existing concepts of armored vehicles, as a result of which work began on the so-called. Universal tanks.

A promising tank capable of replacing the car "Churchill", received the A43 working designation and the name Super Churchill. In the future, the project was renamed Black Prince - in honor of the English historical figure Eduard Woodstock on the nicknamed "Black Prince". It is under the new name that the last project of the infantry tank was widely known.

The goal of the new project was quite simple. The designers needed to equip the existing heavy tank with a new ORDNANCE QF 17-POUNDER instrument of enlarged power. To install a larger gun in the construction of the tank, there should be a certain change. A preliminary analysis of the possibilities showed that not only the existing tower, but also the armor case, will have to be recycled to install a new gun. As a result, the promising Tank A43 was really based on the design of the existing MK IV, but it was supposed to differ from it with dimensions and other features.

To install a 17-pound gun, within the framework of the A43 project, it was necessary to develop a new larger tower with a pattern of increased diameter. The latter feature of the new project led to the need for some increase in the width of the case. Other features of the design of the housing remained almost unchanged. The existing design was adjusted only in connection with the installation of a new equipment.


Externally, the tank was like a CHURCHILL serial machine. Photo AviarMor.net.

The result of this approach to the creation of a new sample of armored vehicles was the preservation of the existing body shape with a simultaneous change in its size. In addition, it was proposed to increase the level of protection of the machine by using more thickness reservation. The body has retained a wedge-shaped frontal profile with an inclined top detail, conjugate with a vertical sheet. The lower sheet of the forehead has a thickness of 140 mm, the average is 57 mm, the upper is 152 mm. The housing of the tank had onboard niches inside the caterpillar ribbon. The side details of such aggregates had a thickness of up to 95 mm. From above and behind, the housing was covered with a 19-mm roof and feed sheets with a thickness of up to 51 mm.

The Tower of "Black Prince" was supposed to be a finalized unit of the serial "Churchill". From the existing product, the dome of the new tower was distinguished by more powerful protection and increased dimensions. In addition, some designs of the design were improved. The maximum thickness of the tower armor reached 152 mm in the frontal part, the minimum is 20 mm roof. The tower had a frontal unit with an inclined front part and Ambrazubo, in which there was a swinging mask of the internal location. The boards were formed by two sheets placed at an angle to each other. It was envisaged to use a small feed niche.

Being a deep upgrade of the serial infantry tank, the new A43 was to be built on the same layout. In the front of the case there was a department of control, behind it - the tower and combat department. The feed compartment completely allocated for the engine, the transmission units, fuel system, etc.

According to some not quite understandable reasons, it is likely because of the desire to obtain the maximum degree of unification, the new heavy tank was to get exactly the same equipment of the motor-transmission office, as well as serial churchill. In the corps stern, it was proposed to leave a double-row 12-cylinder gasoline engine of the Bedford, which develops capacity up to 350 hp Near the engine, two radiator was placed, it was also placed with a one-piece main friction friction friction, a four-speed manual transmission, a rotation mechanism and other transmission units.

According to some reports, the issue of equipping a heavy tank engine with a capacity of 600 hp Nevertheless, it seems that this proposal did not come out of the preliminary storage stage. As a result, the specific capacity of the machine remained at 7 hp. On a ton, although it could be increased by one and a half times with appropriate consequences for mobility.

On onboard niches of the body, 10 support rollers of small diameter with an individual spring suspension were mounted below. Before the main rollers and behind them, the project provided for the use of two similar details suspended at some height over the soil. In front of the case, guide wheels were placed in the stern - leading. Instead of traditional supporting rollers, special guides on the appropriate surface of the case were used. For the tank, new caterpillars had to be developed, allowed compensating for the growth of combat mass. The tracks, in general, have retained an existing design, but differed in an increased up to 24 inches (610 mm) width. An increase in the width of the caterpillars by 10 inches made it possible to reduce the specific pressure to an acceptable level.

The main idea of \u200b\u200bthe A43 Black Prince project was to use a powerful Tank Gunner Ordnance QF 17-Pounder. This tool had a trunk of a 76.2 mm caliber length of 55 calibers. The muzzle brake and developed anti-reflective devices were envisaged. The gun was supposed to be mounted on modified fasteners in the headside of the tower. In combat department, a relatively large volume was able to place styling and racks for 89 unitary shells.

With the help of a relatively long trunk, the qf 17-pounder can accelerate an exaggerational-fuchic projectile to a speed of 880 m / s, armor-piercing - up to 1200 m / s. Depending on the type of armor-piercing projectile, the gun at a distance of 900 m could be pierced from 130 to 190 mm homogeneous armor. In some cases, the gun retained the possibility of defeating the enemy tank at distances to 2-3 km.

As auxiliary weapon, the crew of the new tank was to use two BESA machine guns of a rifle caliber. One of them was mounted on gun installation and served as paired. The second was located in the coursework of the windshield, to the left of the longitudinal axis of the machine. The overall ammunition of two machine guns consisted of several thousand cartridges.

As an improved version of the existing machine, the new Tank A43 has retained the similar composition of the crew. Five tankers should manage the "black prince". In the forefront of the control of the body, a mechanic - driver (right) and arrows (left) were placed. The latter also served as a driver's assistant and a radar. The commander and the gunner were located inside the tower, from its left side. To the right of them was charging. The crew had hatches in the roof of the hull and towers: the control department and the combat department had two hatches. At the workplace of the driver also had a front viewing hatch for driving on the march. In case of urgent evacuation, the tank had auxiliary hatches in the boat branch.

Installing a new more powerful gun with related modifications of the tower and chassis led to the fact that the new tank was noticeably larger and heavier than the base machine. The total length of the infantry tank A43 taking into account the gun was 8.81 m, the width is 2.9 m, the height is 3.44 m. The combat mass reached 50 tons, which was about 10 tons more than the corresponding "Churchill" parameter. Taking into account the preservation of the 350-strong engine, weight growth led to a noticeable drop in specific power. The mobility of the "Black Prince" was supposed to be provided only 7 hp on ton.

Not enough powerful engine did not allow to obtain acceptable mobility. The maximum speed of the tank on the highway was only 10.5 miles per hour (18 km / h), at rough terrain - 7.5 miles per hour (10-11 km / h). The design of the chassis was to rise to the wall height of 75 cm and the crossing of the trench with a width of 3 m. Without preparation, the tank could cross the brother depth 1 m.

The Vauxhall A43 Black Prince project started in 1943. The pace of developing a promising tank was left to desire the best. The project was completed only by the beginning of 1945, after which the construction of the first prototype was started. The prototype was deduced only at the beginning of the 45th. The tank went to the landfill, where confirmed all the most serious concerns. In practice, it was found that, together with the growth of fire power and the level of protection in the new project, a noticeable reduction in mobility was obtained. Due to low running characteristics, the tank could not compete with other modern armored vehicles of British or foreign development.

For testing and future checks on the front, six experienced "Black Prince" tanks were built. By the time of the end of battles in Europe, these prototypes remained at the manufacturer or landfill. Technique with increased combat characteristics simply did not have time to war. At the same time, the military and industry got the opportunity to carefully explore new samples of armored vehicles and make the necessary conclusions. Given the characteristic project problems, it is unlikely to hope to hope for a positive decision of the Customer.

Even before the start of testing experienced Tanks A43, the military considered the possibility of signing the contract for the supply of three hundred serial machines of this type. Such a document was to appear after testing prototypes, in the late spring or early summer of 1945. Nevertheless, by this time the insufficient characteristics of the technique were confirmed, and in addition, the completion of the war made it possible to reduce the pace of developing new combat vehicles. As a result, plans for request serial tanks were rejected. Vauxhall has not received the official order for the launch of the full-scale production of "black princes".

The further development of the project was also considered inappropriate. To improve mobility, a project was to recycle, which required a certain time. At the same time, the British army has already managed to get a few hundred middle Sherman Firefly tanks with a 17-pound gun and acceptable mobility. In addition, by 1945 he was created and put in a series of medium-sized Cruising Tank COMET, which presented to the further development of the older MK VIII Cromwell. This tank carried the gun 77 mm HV - a shortened QF 17-POUNDER with a slightly less high characteristics of the break. Finally, already prepared mass production Medium tanks Centurion.

All existing tanks with similar weapons were beneficial from A43 more high speed and passability. The only advantage of this car was a higher level of protection provided by reservations to 152 mm thick. Nevertheless, a combination of such a low-speed armor was considered unacceptable for new techniques. According to some data, the possibility of additional modernization of the Black Prince tank by setting the Tower of the Centurion with a 76-mm cannon, but this idea did not reach a practical embodiment.

By the middle of 1945, the developer and army had six experienced A43 Black Prince tanks. After testing and making a decision on the closing of the project, this technique began to use as test platforms to verify other new developments. As the resource is produced, experienced infantry tanks were written off and understood as unnecessary. For several years, five tanks were recycled. Only one experienced model built by the fourth in his series was able to avoid this fate. After many years of idle, the tank was transferred to the museum of military equipment in Bovington. There was a repair, after which the armored vehicle was again obtained to move independently.

Project A43 Black Prince was a promising attempt to noticeably increase mARICAL QUALITY existing heavy infantry tanks MK IV Churchill due to the use of a more powerful 76-mm gun. Nevertheless, in practice, the original proposal faced a number of serious difficulties that did not allow to quickly get the desired armored person. The required results in the form of growth of firefire were achieved by the price of the unacceptable weighting of the tank and the fall of mobility. A similar machine, which has advantages over the other technique only in the protection and power of the gun, did not imagine interest for the army. Moreover, by the middle of 1945 other tanks were created with similar combat qualities, which made promising A43 simply unnecessary. Not the most successful project eventually put a point in the so-called. Infantry tanks.

Good day and welcome to the site! Tankists, today we will talk to you about one of the most unloved mastery machines, the heavy tank of the seventh level of Britain - in front of you Black Prince Hyde.

Of course, this machine has a lot of definite flaws, some of them are really serious, however, if you do everything right, the prince is capable of serious accomplishments. To understand this, let's look at Black Prince TTX, we work properly and let's talk about the tactics of fighting on this hard.

TTX Black Prince

First of all, our British royal blood has a very good margin of safety, and also can boast a good basic range of view of 370 meters.

Now let's talk about the main features of every heavy tank, namely, consider Black Prince Features booking. Of course, let's start with the frontal projection, and here it is immediately clear that not everything is definitely. The strongest part of the tank is the tower, in the forehead, it has a large mask of the gun, and in general it is protected very seriously, the shift here reaches 250, 300, and sometimes even 390 millimeters, which gives us the opportunity to tannove even higher-level opponents.

Lob housing u. Black Prince World of Tanks It is protected worse, all the plates are located at a right angle, practically do not have slopes, the thickness of them is approximately 152-164 millimeters. With the comfort of the buildings, you can a tank of classmates, but not all, and 8 and 9 levels pierce us very easily.

There is another unpleasant nuance for Black Prince Wot.. If you look at the screenshot above, where the caterpillage is turned off, you will understand that if you shoot our prince directly in the huss, the probability of damage is high, because immediately there is a housing.

Of course, if we consider heavy Tank Black Prince On the side, it is not difficult to break through it, however, the onboard armor with a thickness of 95 millimeters gives a perfectly to rinse when the rombe's tank is set and you need to try to use it.

And now we will pay attention to the mobility of this unit and from this side, the Briton looks completely unprofitable. Black Prince Tank I received a very small maximum speed, mediocre dynamics and maneuverability, it is for this reason many players do not like the prince.

By the way, for such maximum speed horse power Enough with your head, reaches the maximum speed machine quickly and capable of maintaining it, just quickly go to you will not work.

Tool

The most important part of each combat vehicle is a gun, because otherwise she would not be a fighting. In our case, weapons are very non-standard, take at least the fact that Black Prince gun It has a very small alfactory. However, due to high rapidity, we still can issue about 1,800 units of damage per minute without a rate, this is the average for the standards of TT-7.

Much more hinders another - british Heavy Tank Black Prince Wot It has the worst at the level of the Parameter of the Basic Projectile. For this reason, it is better to carry about 15-20% of gold with you.

However, poor breakdown is compensated for very good accuracy, because we have the opportunity to fill vulnerable places in the enemy armor. Black Prince World of Tanks It has a little scatter, quickly coming down, and the stabilization is not bad here, apparently because of the small speed of movement.

By the way, despite all my quadacity and external axis, Black Prince Tank It is able to lower an instrument to 8 degrees down, which is very comfortable. True, when you turn the gun to the stern, the angle of declination deteriorates to 4.5 degrees.

Advantages and disadvantages

This British production apparatus can be called simple as five kopecks, most strong and weak Parties Black Prince World of Tanks They can immediately, however, for simplicity of perception, it is better to break these nuances on points.
Pros:
Good header armor tower;
Weighty safety margin;
High rapidity and good DPM;
Excellent accuracy;
Comfortable corners of vertical tip.
Minuses:
Lack of armor tilts;
Weak protected hull forehead;
Very bad mobility;
Small one-time damage;
Weak breakdown by the basic projectile.

Equipment for Black Prince

As usual, to properly equip the tank with additional modules, it is necessary to look at the existing benefits and disadvantages. Since among the minuses, there is nothing to compensate for Black. Prince equipment It should improve its strengths, and everything will look like this:
1. - Make our damage per minute even more significant, respectively, we will become a more dangerous opponent in battle.
2. - It is with this module that will be very effective to shoot on the go, very often getting into the target even on medium distances.
3. - Have good review It is very important in our game, so it will be quite logical to stop at this option.

However, you can go to another way, to give preference to the maximum damage to the damage, in this case the third item is changing at. In this case, we worsen the range of review, but we get even faster recharge, reduction, as well as a slight increase in the review.

Education crew

In fact, the same goals we will chase when training the crew, but it is worth adding a few skills, thanks to which the car becomes more in yet live, still in our hands a heavy tank. The good news will have 5 tankers in the tank, each of which has its own specialization, so Black Prince Perki. It is necessary to learn in such a sequence:
Commander - ,,,
Powder - ,,,
Driver mechanic - , , , .
Radist - ,,,
Charging - ,,,

Equipment for Black Prince

With our mobility, and the fact that the prince will continue to restrain the enemy, taking damage and in every way extending, it is necessary to have at least,. However, even more right choiceswhich will allow you to get out of the most sophisticated situationwill carry on Black Prince Equipment Of,, where the last option, if desired, can be replaced by.

BLACK PRINCE Tactics

Despite all the sticks thrown into this tank, it is impossible to call it frankly weak, rather specific. Black Prince World of Tanks It has one really serious minus - slowness. More than once there will be situations when you did not have time to get there, and your team has already killed everyone or vice versa, while you drove away, killed all the allies, and then the crowd took up for you.

For Black Prince Tactic The fighting begins with the fact that you must choose the direction for the attack, because in our hands the tank is only one direction, to put it up to the last, or do not move away from the base if you feel that it will have to protect it.

Of course, at the top of the list heavy Tank Black Prince capable very well tank and most the ideal solution There will be a game from the tower. If you manage to take a position at which the hull will be completely hidden, and the enemy artilleryman will not be able to throw on you, you can even restrain the technique of a higher level. And in cases where it does not work from the tower, the Black Prince Tank must be protected by the body, increasing the above armor, and constantly dance.

Regarding the battles at the bottom of the list, our armor becomes much less impressive, it is good for a tank that you can have a tower, but it can be poured. For this reason, it is better to distrangle and fire from afar, the benefit of the exact gun allows. By the way, fighting against nine can also be nice to keep damage, leaving the reverse rhombus because of the building or another obstacle. Black Prince Wot. It has sufficiently thick boards for such a fintee.

Otherwise, try to follow the mini-card, very much fear the enemy artillery and do not go to open spaces, because of the limited speed of movement, it will take a real miracle from under the fire.

Introduction

Black Prince - a British heavy tank of a seventh level, which has good circular bookings, a large margin of strength, accurate and rapid tool. It is the successor of its predecessors, it copes well with the support function.

Research and pumping modules

This tank is examined on Churchill VII for 54,000 experiences and it costs 1.400.000 silver. The study of the modules is:
  • Gun. First of all, we examine the top gun. It will increase the armor and damage, and besides, it is placed on stock
  • Chassis. Next, we investigate the top chassis. It is necessary for installation on the tank of the top engine and radio station
  • Engine. Accordingly, the engine goes on. He will add power tank, move will be a little more comfortable
  • Radio station. Next, we investigate the radio station. It gives an increase of 150 meters to the range of communication. And besides, it is relevant for all TT to 9 levels inclusive
  • Well, then exploring TT 8 of the level of Caernarvon for 110.000 experience. Specifications and optimal tactics in different situations

Black Prince is a harshest version of its predecessor: the Prince has more powerful armor in a circle. Thanks to this, the small artillery does not bother us, but you need to be careful: the feed of the tank is booked weak, there is a chance to get a plush exactly. In addition, dimensions, in comparison with Churchill VII, became a little more, and the speed remained almost the same.
The top brack prince tool has a weak alpha for level 7, but this is compensated by good accuracy, rapid information and good rapidity. Related guns are more often found on medium tanks than on heavy. Here Black Prince continues the traditions of predecessors armed with guns by type of this.


Based on all this, you can call the "Prince" as a typical heavy tank of medium levels. Possessing powerful armor and a good tool, in battle with tanks level 7 we can use rombing tactics. Many of the tanks of their level can not break through the Black Prince, the tanks below the level - especially. From its level, the most dangerous top heavy tank AMX M4 45 and top PT AMX AC 46.

But everything changes when this tank gets to 8 and 9 levels.
High accuracy allows you to fight with technology level 8: Flowing weaknesses, you can not badly harm enemies, but here you need to consider that alone "Prince" is very vulnerable, better to keep more powerful machines with more powerful guns.

In battles with 9 levels of Black Prince, it is necessary to use for a defense: the gun of the tank is almost useless here, and in speed and maneuverance he loses absolutely all TT. Here you can go to an unprotected flank, and keep opponents on a hussing, which will benefit at least some time before the arrival of help. In the battles at the bottom of the list should not be preserved "golden" shells.

Equipment

Equipment Standard: fire extinguisher, first aid kit and rem.

Equipment

From the equipment we put on the tank the rate to reduce recharge, it will play important role In battle, stabilizer vertical vertex and improved ventilation to increase the efficiency of the crew skill.

Pumping crew

The first skill will be for the commander - sixth Sense, the rest - repairs. Second skill - all the Brotherhood of War . The third skill will be for the commander - repairsfor gunner - sniperfor fur-water - smooth movefor a radar - radioerekhvat.for charging - intuition. Fourth skill - by choice.

Outcome

Black Prince is a tank on which it is generally nice to play. He has a rapid tool, but a small one-time damage. If you can do without mega - damage, as well as without good speed and dynamics, if you can a tank - then this tank is for you. I have everything on this. See you soon.
