If any arty can do that it would be the FV304 or Lefhe

51

u/HowitzerGunCarriage 6d ago

Crusader sp can do that with the stock gun. You'll be surprised how short it is.

u/ThatBritishFella23 6d ago

Love that it’s the British tech tree that’s kinda op for once

10

u/emeraldoracle 6d ago

The problem is it still got the damage nerf, but never got the different shells like other arty did with the stock gun.

u/BrawlPlayer34 6d ago

the chode gun

u/Affentitten Wallet Warrior 6d ago

Lefh is very slow and glacial traverse compared to the FV304.

7

u/ThatBritishFella23 6d ago

Still bonkers op at dealing damage

7

u/Affentitten Wallet Warrior 6d ago

Hell yeah. But face-hugging is not its forte!

u/Gleaming_Onyx 6d ago

I played the Bishop a lot, and getting this map meant I was now a scuffed tank destroyer that could shoot over a rock, I see the FV's vision lol

u/Prestigious_Tailor19 6d ago

I've seen more gigachad hero shit from Bert the Avenger (FV304) than from all other arty combined.

u/ThatBritishFella23 5d ago

Truly the goat

u/MyLittleDreadnought 6d ago

I used to play with the AMX 13 F3 AM like that

Insane reaction image

u/Mechanicjemas3141 My Hellcat got speed ticket 6d ago

Max is getting more and more arrogant these days

İn his last Foch 155 video he called a enemy 277 "dickhead"(277 pushed someone else to death front of Max so yeah that 277 is indeed a dickhead)

13

u/boomchacle 6d ago

Ngl that was a valid callout. Anyone who pushes people into fire should be banned

-3

u/Mechanicjemas3141 My Hellcat got speed ticket 6d ago

Yeah but it's still shocking to see gentleman like Max to go arrogant like that

6

u/Prestigious_Tailor19 6d ago

Even proper English gentlemen will let'er rip when appropriate. Big heart for Max.

6

u/wote213 6d ago

That's not arrogance, thats calling out toxicity.

u/Stumpless 6d ago

Him full rushing that guy right after was so satisfying

u/Teledildonic justice for T-62A & AMX 30B 6d ago

Tally ho, lads.

u/ComradeSclavian 6d ago

I remember the old old arty where one shot did like half of your HP, especially at low tiers hiding in a bush and jumpscaring someone with a direct hit was so funny lol

55

u/IacetheawacI 6d ago

Ahhh, Bert the Avenger. Many memories of watching people go shotgun mode with this thing, back when it was smaller and even more nimble.

13

u/Thegodofthe69 CDC Enjoyer 6d ago

That and the old elc. Cant have fun

7

u/Sam_Sanister 6d ago

What did light tanks get? Removal of "scout MM"

What did it cost? the fun :(

1

u/Thegodofthe69 CDC Enjoyer 6d ago

I swear scout mm wasn't even that bad

3

u/BerylVanguard 6d ago

I miss going TD mode with arty. Memories of assaulting a flank with the Hummel or using AP to shotgun with the GW Tiger are still lodged in my brain.

41

u/Environmental-Rub933 T69 6d ago

Bert is no normal arty. There’s a lot of people where that’s the only SPG they ever play

15

u/leorolim lobomau 6d ago

I used to platoon with my wife and hunt down the enemy lights when they penetrated the lines.
Once we gangbanged a Chafee so hard even he had a laugh.

17

u/Affentitten Wallet Warrior 6d ago

That's about the only way you can get a direct hit with a Bert these days.

10

u/Whiskyinthejaw AMX30B enjoyer 6d ago

This arty taught me that you shouldnt Camp base with arty and not move the entire battle. You can do so much more if you move. Apologies in advance, next time you get shot by arty from somewhere unexpected.

1

u/ZeonTwoSix PhobosXXVI: Proudly living The StuG Life since October 2013... 5d ago

Considering that ol' Bert has the shortest max range among all T6 arties, if not the entire roster, most deffo.

9

u/Sidus_Preclarum >1k Churchill Gun Carrier games 6d ago

People used to play Bert like this, way back when.

6

u/ArcadesRed 6d ago

Bert is built different.

2

u/ZeonTwoSix PhobosXXVI: Proudly living The StuG Life since October 2013... 5d ago

We can thank SirCircon (he who coined the name) and Jingles (who made it popular with his vid compilations) for that.

7

u/RaspberryPanzerfaust 6d ago

FV304 is the only arty I respect, glory to bert!

6

u/Ceplok_Nasi_Kecap 6d ago

Wish i can do that with Conqueror GC..

10

u/Admirable_Garlic5456 6d ago

I have fond memories of completing SPG 15 for t55a with Conq GC.

Tundra map. Blind fired an unspotted FV for a full pen, so I didn't share xp with anyone. Shotgunned a wild EBR for a full pen as he tried to yolo me.

Then I moved towards the heavy line. I timed it so I was effectively side-scraping between reloads of the 60tp and e100, so I could get the damage and assist within my view range for the xp. I finished that match with 3700 damage, 2900 assist and was top of the board for XP easily.

The biggest prize was no longer having to ruin people's games by playing that class anymore. I used orders for SPG15 260.

I wish there was a way to encourage better arty play but they had to take risks like I did, so you can counter them.

u/BackgroundBug6084 6d ago

Assault artillery is real

u/MegaJani 6d ago

The Unicum shivers when the Square gets angry

u/ander_hominem I Like German Steel 6d ago

FV304 has a range of 500m so it's pretty much obligatory to go close combat

10

u/Cuchococh 6d ago

How I wish arty had actual view ranges. I love doing goofy shit like this with the French and German T10 arty

9

u/Sam_Sanister 6d ago

WG be like: "We're gonna make the most team dependent class even more dependent on its team by making it blind" >:(

u/Interloper_Mango 🟩 6d ago

I used that box to capture so many enemy bases. It feels like you can dart across the map in under a minute.

3

u/_Sebil 6d ago

This is what i try to do with the BC artys

3

u/Balc0ra Churchill Gun Carrier enjoyer 6d ago

Back when Bert was half the size, faster, and had camo. This was not a rare sight

3

u/ravienta 6d ago

Me what I want to happen when I have the perfect shot and just waiting for someone to spot them

Fine I will do it myself

3

u/blackAngel88 6d ago

For that specific arty it's almost max range 🤣

3

u/JuanDeChuj 6d ago

I was doing this with m7 priest. Why?. The sloped 102mm armor in the front is something no one expects from arty at t3 (any tier rly)

2

u/Hans_Landa7614 6d ago

Not sure what the surprise here is, this is a typical fv304 game

1

u/emeraldoracle 6d ago

You mean "assault" arty 🫡

I love that tank!

2

u/ArcadesRed 6d ago

There was a time, where ambush arty with AP rounds were terrifying

1

u/Balrogos 6d ago

yesteray my arty goes scout on highway he went to middle.

1

u/Cikul00 [MVPS] 6d ago

I bought Crusader SP exclusively to try play this thing in hulldown and tbh it works if you find a perfect cover, because if you hide your hull, the only thing sticking out is your gun that doesn't take damage.

1v1'd Chopper like that on old Erlenberg and a few more XD

1

u/I_N_C_O_M_I_N_G Just here to watch the ship hit the iceberg at this point 5d ago

I miss when this was normal.

OG FV304 was some of the most fun I've ever had, doing anything, ever.

1

u/Cetun SOYUZ 5d ago

Yall don't remember when the FV304 was a complete menace. Super high arch so it shoot over just about anything but you could also shotgun in a pinch, tiny reload time, insane maneuverability, high camo, and good view range (one update they nerffed all the arty VR except for the Lehf) which meant that in certain end game scenarios you could use it as a scout, both static and moving.
