Churchill ammo options

[ghbucky]

I'm not sure this is a bug, but it seems so to me.

 

The only option for the Churchill main gun is AP ammo. There is a selectable loadout for AP ammo, but it doesn't matter whether you select it or not.

That is not a bug.

The only ammo available for the British QF6 PDR at the time the Churchill IV is modeled was solid shot/AP.

Why is there then option to turn on AP ammo mod if default ammo is same AP, or this is differant AP ammo in modification, so do we get same ammo if we dont activate modification ?

The tank in the game is a MKIV with the Mk5 QF 6 pdr. gun. 1622 of them were built and the Soviets received 105 of them.
Commonwealth nations received the rest. All of them had solid shot ammunition as the only option.

And the lack of HE shells also was mentioned in the DDs from the start.

The mod is there so you can read the description and characteristics for the shell in the tips for it. Selecting or deselecting it changes nothing.
Also, despite it's having a British skin as a bonus, the Churchill is a part of  the Tank Crew: Clash at Prokhorovka expansion — a Soviet tank with a Soviet crew, exactly as it was fielded at Kursk Bulge,  and with no other ammo than AP and with Soviet 50-mm mines available for the mortar.

Hopefully that explains things a bit better.

this last tank has a lot of official skins, it's cool... almost two years ago, it was proposed to modders to post skins in order to widen the base of official tank skins (3, 4 base), then since then nothing, nada, no answer despite several requests from the TC community... do you know if the other tanks will benefit in the future from more or as much skin as the churchill?

Regardless of what the ammo is, the stowage really highlights how far we've come in terms of survivability.  The screenshot of the ammo racks makes me feel sorry for the crews.
