Tactics

• The Churchill Tank can only be used with the Royal Engineers Support.
• Considering that this is an instant call in Tank, this weapon is effective against armored rushes against the Panzer Elite, specifically the Panzer IV IS due to its ability to do minimal damage to armored units.
• The Churchill can absorb tons of damage before going down.
• The Churchill has the ability to suppress infantry with Tank Shock (and if the mine plow upgrade was purchased, instantly kill them). This is especially helpful against Panzershreck-equipped infantry.
• You can use the Churchill to crush hedges and other obstacles to help improve your emplacement's line of fire, such as the 17 Pounder AT Gun. It can also help you place defenses in unexpected places on the map.
• The Churchill's gun is useless against anything heavier than a puma. Think of this tank as a wall on wheels that just happens to have a decoration that looks strangely like a gun on top.
• The Churchill's forward armour is quite tough, however, the back armour is considerably weaker. This is a general tank rule, but heavily applies for the Churchill: Always keep the front end pointed forwards.

History

The Tank, Infantry, Mk IV (A22) was a heavy British infantry tank of the Second World War, best known for its heavy armour and its use as the basis of many specialist vehicles. This series of tanks was named after Winston Churchill, who was not only the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom at the time but who during the First World War had been involved with the development of the tank as a weapon.
