British heavy tank of the seventh level. It is distinguished by good all-round armor at an irrational tilt and a high safety margin. The gun is quite accurate and quick-firing, but has relatively low penetration. He continues the traditions of his predecessors and does an excellent job of supporting allies.
It is a heavier version of its predecessor, we have more armor and fewer holes, but the dimensions have become somewhat more and speed remained at the same level. Although the frontal armor is impressively thick, it also has a number of vulnerable spots, such as a front-facing machine gun. In general, the vehicle has decent armor for level 7, but there are such ridiculous moments when in one battle you are penetrated by a KV-2 from a ZiS-6, and in another you are suddenly not penetrated by an ISU-152 from a BL-10, in other words, the armor is extremely random. The effectiveness of armor can be increased by placing the car in a diamond shape, as a rule, your classmates and everything below are not able to cause damage to you, especially at long distances (the most dangerous is the AMX M4 (1945), armed with a 90mm gun). It is worth noting the good all-round armor, small artillery is almost not scary for us, but the stern greatly undermines this advantage, the MTO has very weak armor even in comparison with the Churchill I, so there is a risk of receiving full damage even from the SU-26. Our weapon has relatively weak performance for level 7, but this is not so critical. The 17-pounder has good accuracy, fairly fast aiming and a very acceptable rate of fire, and taking into account the fact that our classmates are not particularly durable (the only exception is the KV-3, which probably has the most problems), we can quite confidently penetrate our neighbors and cars below level. However, the situation is completely different if we get to levels 8 or 9. Generally high accuracy allows you to resist level 8 vehicles while aiming weak spots It’s quite possible to do a fair amount of harm to the enemy, but keep in mind that alone you are very vulnerable, it’s better to stick to more powerful vehicles, sometimes you’ll even have to take hits for them (for example, covering the T34), your armor is very random, where you may not be penetrated by someone AMX 50 100 will take damage when it should be inflicting it. At levels 9 we play the role of an exclusively defensive vehicle and in extreme cases we cover less armored comrades, our gun is almost useless here, and in terms of mobility we are inferior to absolutely all tanks. In such a disappointing situation, it is quite reasonable to remain on the defense of an unprotected area (you should choose that position on which is the most difficult to get to you). The armor can easily withstand several hits even from top guns and thus allow you to buy some time for your teammates, and an accurate and fast-firing gun will allow you to hold the enemy without a harp, which also gives you some time. Playing in a platoon will make your life much easier, it is advisable to combine BP with vehicles that have penetrating and long-range guns (for example, a Panther or AMX M4 45), you will be able to restrain the enemy in close combat (thus being able to target weak points of your opponents), and your comrades will be able to support you from afar with their more powerful weapons.

Assault variant
Sniper option
Alternative option
In the assault version we have a standard set for the most active actions. We shoot more often and have the opportunity to do it on the move with greater efficiency. In the sniper variation, we sacrifice rate of fire and immediate accuracy, but in return we get some advantage to stealth and a more impressive overview in order to detect the enemy as early as possible. IN alternative option we maintain the rate of fire, but have slightly lower accuracy on the move, but we get a stable increase in visibility.

Video review guide Black Prince World of Tanks
Tank Black Prince or A43 was born only in May 1945. And for the first time, it was planned to install a more powerful anti-personnel gun on a Churchill tank back in September 1941, but then this led to the appearance of self-propelled guns based on Churchill with a 76-mm gun. In 1943, in connection with preparations for the invasion of Europe, the need for an infantry support tank arose again. Vauxhall was asked to return to considering a tank based on the Churchill. Even at the design stage, it became clear that the base of the Churchill tank was too narrow for a turret with a 17-pounder gun. Then Vauxhall decides to increase the width of Churchill's wheelbase. This is how the first prototype appeared with the name A43 or “Super Churchill”, and later “Black Prince”. Although the new tank used many components and assemblies of the Churchill 7 tank, in the end it turned out completely new car. Outwardly very similar to its “parent”, tank Black Prince World of Tanks had widened 24-inch tracks, air intake grilles were located on the roof of the hull, and the engine was located in the rear. The first samples of the A43 were presented in May 1945, after the end of the war in Europe and the need for it disappeared. A total of 6 prototypes were produced.

pros
Minuses
Crew and additional skills
Like any heavy vehicle, the first thing we need is repairs. The gusli eats up damage very well, so they will be shot down for us regularly. Then everyone upgrades according to their desires, but I would advise upgrade the commander’s “light bulb”, it often saves you from artillery, upgrade your mechanics from an off-road king or a virtuoso, the gunner must upgrade his sniper skill, because... We hit weakly and will knock out modules. Because We often hit from long distances, and we have good visibility, then the radio operator needs to upgrade the radio interception.
Breaking Black Prince penetration zone
We have an excellent rate of fire and accuracy, so we need to improve our strengths. I recommend installing a rammer (with it, the rate of fire increases to 13.2), it also makes sense to install ventilation (the rate of fire increases to 13.86), I usually install a repair box as the third module, but after leveling up the repair skill to 100%, it can be replaced with stabilizer.
Tactics primarily depend on where you find yourself on the list. Playing in the TOP, you can safely tank and attack, at our level we are “gods” and we are only afraid of the Frenchman. Do not forget to place the tank in a diamond shape and substitute the harp, this will complicate the enemy’s task. But be also attentive to your rear, our stern is made of “cardboard”, so we travel only with the cover of medium and light tanks, so that we don’t get caught. When playing at the bottom of the list on Black Prince World of Tanks, the tactics are radically different. Our all-round armor will no longer save us. It is best to play on the “second” line, having an accurate and fast-firing cannon you can bite and annoy the heavies while they are butting heads with our allies on the front line. Knowing the penetration points, we can inflict damage even on the IS-3. Let's say separately about the art, it is our main headache. As soon as you are lit, you are the number one target for art. No one can resist throwing a “suitcase” at a huge and slow tank, which is almost impossible to miss. The roof of the hull in the stern has almost no armor and even such art can cause significant damage.
Conclusion
For our level, we got a pretty good tank that can pick apart its opponents well. But weak weapon makes its own adjustments to the game, we are forced to learn the enemy’s weak points and target them more carefully, fortunately accuracy allows us to do this. Having low mobility, it is necessary to be able to analyze and determine the direction of attack of enemy forces 30 seconds before the battle. You should also learn all the places where art does not hit.
Creation Black Prince heavy tank was due to the urgent need to arm the British army on the eve of the Normandy landings with a combat vehicle that would have sufficient firepower and be capable of effectively fighting the latest tanks Wehrmacht. The creation of a similar tank, later called the Black Prince, began in 1943.Black Prince is a heavier version of its predecessor: the “prince” has more powerful armor all around. Thanks to this, small artillery does not bother us, but we need to be careful: the rear of the tank is poorly armored, there is a chance of getting hit there. In addition, the dimensions, in comparison with the Churchill VII, have become slightly larger, but the speed has remained almost the same.
The top gun Black Prince has a weak alpha for level 7, but this is compensated by good accuracy, fast aiming and a good rate of fire. Similar guns are more often found on medium tanks than on heavy ones. Here the Black Prince continues the tradition of its predecessors, armed with weapons like this one.
But everything changes when this tank reaches levels 8 and 9.
High accuracy allows you to fight with level 8 vehicles: by targeting weak points, you can do a lot of harm to enemies, but here you need to take into account that the “prince” is very vulnerable alone, it is better to stick to more powerful vehicles with more powerful guns.
In battles with level 9, the Black Prince must be used for defense: the tank’s gun is almost useless here, and in terms of speed and maneuverability it is inferior to absolutely all tanks. Here you can go to the unprotected flank and keep your opponents on the gusle, which will allow you to gain at least some time until help arrives. In battles at the bottom of the list, you should not save “golden” shells.

Good day and welcome to the site! Tankers, today we will talk about one of the most unloved vehicles of the majority, a heavy tank of the seventh level of Britain - in front of you Black Prince guide.
Of course, this machine has a lot of certain shortcomings, some of them are really serious, however, if everything is done correctly, the prince is capable of serious achievements. To understand this, let's look at Black Prince TTX, let’s equip it properly and talk about combat tactics on this heavy load.
First of all, our Briton of royal blood has a very good margin of safety, and is also capable of boasting a good basic viewing range of 370 meters.
Now let's talk about the main feature of each heavy tank, namely, consider Black Prince characteristics reservations. Of course, let's start with the frontal projection and here it is immediately clear that not everything is clear. The strongest part of the tank is the turret, it has a large gun mantlet in the forehead, and in general it is protected very seriously, the reduction here reaches 250, 300, and in some places even 390 millimeters, which gives us the opportunity to tank even opponents more high level.
The forehead of the body Black Prince World of Tanks it is less protected, all the plates are located at right angles, have practically no slopes, their thickness is approximately 152-164 millimeters. When you complete the hull rotation, you can tank your classmates, but not all of them, and levels 8 and 9 penetrate us very easily.
There is another unpleasant nuance for Black Prince WoT. If you look at the screenshot above, where the display of tracks is disabled, you will understand that if you shoot our prince directly at the gusli, there is a high probability of causing damage, because there is a body right behind it.
Of course, if we consider heavy tank Black Prince from the side, it will not be difficult to break through it, however, the side armor with a thickness of 95 millimeters makes it excellent for tanking when the tank is positioned in a diamond shape, and you should try to use this.
Now let’s pay attention to the mobility of this device, and from this side the Briton looks completely unprofitable. Black Prince tank received a very low maximum speed, mediocre dynamics and maneuverability, which is why many players do not like the prince.
By the way, for this maximum speed The horsepower is plenty, the car reaches its maximum speed quickly and is able to maintain it, you just won’t be able to drive fast.
The most important part of every combat vehicle is the cannon, because otherwise it would not be combat. In our case, the weapons are very non-standard, take at least the fact that Black Prince gun has a very small alpha strike. However, thanks to the high rate of fire, we are still capable of delivering about 1800 units of damage per minute without a rammer, this is an average figure by TT-7 standards.
Something else interferes much more - British heavy tank Black Prince WoT has the worst penetration parameter for a basic projectile at the level. For this reason, it is better to carry about 15-20% of gold supplies with you.
However, poor penetration is compensated by very good accuracy, because we have the opportunity to target weak spots in the enemy’s armor. Black Prince World of Tanks It has a small spread, converges quickly, and the stabilization here is quite good, apparently due to the low speed of movement.
By the way, despite all its squareness and external clumsiness, Black Prince tank capable of lowering the gun 8 degrees down, which is very comfortable. True, when the gun is turned towards the stern, the declination angle worsens to 4.5 degrees.
This British-made device can be called as simple as five kopecks, most are strong and weaknesses Black Prince World of Tanks visible immediately, however, for ease of perception, it is better to break down these nuances point by point.
Pros:
Good frontal armor of the turret;
Significant margin of safety;
High rate of fire and good DPM;
Excellent accuracy;
Comfortable vertical aiming angles.
Minuses:
Lack of armor slopes;
Weak protection of the forehead of the hull;
Very poor mobility;
Small one-time damage;
Weak penetration basic projectile.
As usual, to properly equip the tank additional modules, you need to take a closer look at the existing advantages and disadvantages. Since among the minuses, there is really nothing to compensate for Black Prince equipment should improve its strengths, and everything will look like this:
1. – will make our damage per minute even more significant, accordingly, we will become a more dangerous opponent in battle.
2. – with this module it will be possible to shoot very effectively on the move, very often hitting the target even at medium distances.
3. – have good review is very important in our game, so it would be quite logical to focus on this option.
However, you can go the other way, giving preference to the maximum damage caused, in which case the third point changes to. In this case, our viewing range deteriorates, but we get even faster reloading, convergence, and also a slight increase in visibility.
In fact, we will pursue the same goals when training the crew, but it is worth adding a few skills that will make the vehicle more durable; after all, we have a heavy tank in our hands. The good news is that there are 5 tankers in the tank, each of whom has their own specialization, thus Black Prince perks should be taught in the following order:
Commander - , , , .
Gunner – , , , .
Driver mechanic - , , , .
Radio operator - , , , .
Loader – , , , .
Given our mobility and the fact that the prince will often have to restrain the enemy, taking damage and tanking in every possible way, it is necessary to have at least , , . However, even more the right choice which will allow you to get out of the most difficult situations, will carry you Black Prince equipment from , , , where the last option can be replaced if desired by .
Despite all the sticks thrown at this tank, it cannot be called outright weak, rather specific. Black Prince World of Tanks has one really serious drawback - slowness. More than once situations will occur when you did not have time to get there, but your team has already killed everyone, or vice versa, while you were driving, they killed all your allies, and then the crowd attacked you.
For Black Prince tactics combat begins with the fact that you must choose the direction to attack, because in our hands the tank has only one direction, which you need to push to the last, or not move far from the base if you feel that you have to defend it.
Of course at the top of the list heavy tank Black Prince is capable of tanking very well and the most ideal solution would be to play from the tower. If you manage to take a position in which the hull will be completely hidden, and the enemy artilleryman will not be able to attack you, you can restrain even higher-level equipment. And in those cases when it is not possible to play from the turret, the Black Prince tank must turn its hull, increasing the armor given, and constantly dance.
Regarding the battles at the bottom of the list, our armor becomes much less impressive; we can only tank well with a turret, but even that can be penetrated. For this reason, it is better to distance yourself and fire from afar, since an accurate weapon allows you to do so. By the way, when fighting against nines, you can also hold the damage well by driving in a reverse diamond pattern from behind a building or other obstacle. Black Prince WoT has thick enough sides for such a feint.
Otherwise, try to keep an eye on the mini-map, be very afraid of enemy artillery and do not drive into open spaces, due to the limited speed of movement, escaping from under fire will be a real miracle.
