Brittish comet and cromwell tank

[Mythdris]

Is these tanks any good?

I tried comet once and it didnt feel like it did anything to enemy tanks and buying a firefly and a centaur feels far more worth it.

Also how is the cromwell tank? never used it and i wanna know if its any good and if its even worth buying it.

Cromwell=PZ4 its good but if you wait for more fuel you can get better Comet
And Comet Comet baby I like this tank very much it need micro it sometimes cant penetrate frontal armor of Panther but Panther cant do it too its nice counter to Panther and Germans heavy tanks

Comet is quite similar to panther, but has better anti-infantry chance. And Cromwell seems ok for it's cost, 110 fuel like sherman but much better against tanks.

[Mythdris]

thank you both so much for the answers.

i will stay with comet then instead of churchill as i dont like that chunk of metal so much

[Ryker Kohl]

Cromwell is basically a cruiser type tank (While Churchill is a Infantry support type)

Its all about keeping on the move, shoot n' scoot, zip around etc. etc. treat it as you would a light tank basically.

Comet kicks ass.

Vet 1 turns the smoke shot into phosphorus shot to own AT guns and MGs - Has a grenade toss ability like the churchill and at vet three it just starts hurling grenades all over the place when inf are close.

not to mention it's fast enough (especially with warspeed) to flank anything and has a pretty decent gun.


-Cromwells are like a toned down versions of the Comet - still fast but weaker gun and regular smoke only (no phosphorus) but you can still block AT guns sight with it -No grenade ability

- All for a much cheaper fuel cost.

I tried using Cromwell, and it didn't go to well ... the main gun had serious trouble penetrating Pz4 front armor and sometimes sidearmor.

[i guess it's different for me (b]

this is not correct. cromwell handles panzer iv fine. it has trouble vs the okw one though as that one has more armor from vet0.

Understand that there isn't side armor in this game. Tanks are basically divided in half, front and back. Shots to the side will hit one of these two vehicle halves.

It can deal with a pnzr 4 okay it will lose front armor v front armor though. My sugestion would be to flank it with its speed since it is one of the faster medium tanks

I find the Comet tank the most versatile Allied Medium Tank in the game. It is fast, it can be boosted with war speed, it goes around any tank, including big tigers, its high velocity cannon is excellent against almost any target, you can easily flank tanks hit a few shots before backing up for repairing (if needed), so it's good to have at least 2 squads of sappers around. Its phosphorus shells (lvl 2 vet) both hurt and confuse infantry/AT guns. It randomly fires grenades that take out a squad. I would put the Comet tank in the same level of the Panther here. A good player can handle a Panther, and scare a Tiger with this tank. Panzer IV's and T70's become mince meat.
The Cromwell is a different thing though, it has most of Comet's features, but a much weaker and slower gun, wich makes it a cheap option, but it is not a game changing tank at all.

i dont se the point of a comet. i had some bizzare games when my comet lost against a panther, . so my opponent opposed his sides on my commet and i was head on, but somehow each shot coudlnt penentrate so i shot like 5-6 shots before it went down, 3 hit but couldnt penetrate-1 missed and 1 hit, and this was pretty close distance. so i rather have 2 crownwells because of their speed.

im used to shermans so cromwell is like a uppgraded version.

Maybe you should try it more,one fight does not mean that's what you'll experience everytime despite many tell you in this forum.

I think the Comet is the best allied medium tank in the game. Superior to both the T34/85 and the Easy Eight. Ofc, it also costs more.

Like others said, it's basically a Panther with much better anti-infantry capability. Also, with war emergency speed, it's one of the fastest tanks in the game. You can run circles around a Panther (which you should, because in a front armour vs front armour slugfest, the Panther will probably still win, unless the RNG gods are on your side).

As for the Cromwell, it's the cheap, poor man's version of the Comet. It's still superior to the base USF Sherman for anti-tank work, mainly due to its high speed, which makes flanking runs on Axis tanks easier.

cromwell is very effective against light tanks (hard counter) as panzer 4, firefly is good against panther or even tiger with good micro, but it definitely lacks the fire rate as the armor of the comet.
