Talisman Chieftain mk 3, mk 5 or mk 10

[O.]

Hi.

I am planning to research the chally tank at tier 6, wondering which of the 3 chieftain would make the best to slap a talisman on.

Though I only have the Mk.3, I'd wait a bit. With the BR of the modern tanks, I don't dare take my Mk.3 out to grind right now. If you REALLY want to, probably the Mk.10 simply because it has APFSDS and much better turret armor.

Though still, I'd wait if possible (personally waiting to see what the high tier Brit premium tank they have talked about will be and if it will be worth it).

Im doing quite well with those agaisnt 9.3, really, if you have just 1 choice go for the mk10, that one has good apdsfs.
i usualy start game with mk10 and use mk5 as backup to finish the match after lose the mk10.

Q: When can Britain expect high-level premium vehicles?
A: Work on this is already underway.

So, to me, that sounds like a high tier British (probably tank and Tier V) will come soon. I hope for 1.79 or 1.81 as I really don't want to grind the Chieftain Mk.10 with the Mk.3 and then the Chally, so a Tier V premium (hopes for a good one) would be quite nice.

I haven't heard anything about it but if there was something coming it would likely be Chieftain 800/900.

this. Exactly what i am feeling now. Even if there would be a tier v brit tank coming soon, the price will be marked at 49.99 USD and we don't even know how good that tank is.

As it stands right now Id go with the Mk3 as 8.0 is acting like a black hole for me and out of the last 50 matches i've played in mine since the update dropped i've been top tier 95% of the time with a few matches being 8.3 and one or two being 8.7, which it will still perform well at.

The only problem i've run into is the mass of Magach players dying like crazy in the first 3 minutes of the game leaving the allied team down a bunch of players, if not for that the Chief Mk3 would easily be a seal clubbing experience right now.

Otherwise go for the Mk10, gets APFSDS and the turret armor actually still works somewhat against the new MBTs

I put my money on the MK5 but so far it hasn't payed of yet.
As long as it doesn't get a lower BR or APFSDS it's a dead tank.

Mk 10, only one that gets APFSDS, other two are not worth squat majority of time since you get downtiered maybe once on blue moon.
