FV304 - British tier 6 Artillery tank - World of Tanks

Описание: The FV304 is a British tier 6 self-propelled gun.

Prototype light SPG developed by Vickers. Development started in 1947. However, the prototype was not manufactured until 1950. The design of the SPG was already obsolete by this time, and the project was canceled.

Commonly known as "Bert the Avenger" or just "Bert" by the playerbase.

Bert The Avenger is a unique SPG. It has very good accuracy and aiming time, along with a fast rate of fire -- as little as a 10 second reload. This is balanced by the fact that it has very low damage and penetration, as well as virtually no splash radius. The small gun also means that it cannot stun a target. Just like the Bishop, it is necessary to bring the FV304 closer to the action than a typical SPG, due to its low range, and support its team with a constant barrage of sustained fire. The good news is that its blistering speed allows it to relocate to proper range in short time.

However, if it needs to defend itself, despite having good gun's accuracy and aiming time, the low alpha damage makes one-shotting enemy impossible unless its on low health (below 100), and the low shell velocity makes hitting fast moving lights difficult, even in short range. All in all, Bert is quite a capable SPG, but needs to be handled differently than most arty.

Before 0.9.15.1, the size was less than half that seen with the introduction of the HD model, and it had the second highest camouflage rating in the game. View range and mobility were also better prior to this update. This allowed the FV304 to be played like a scout and/or ambush TD.

The FV304 leads to the Crusader 5.5-in. SP.
