It is a slowly moving DPM monster with amazing armor, enemies will find it extremely difficult to penetrate you frontally even with gold ammo and your gun mantlet is so strong that it can even absorb artillery shells. Think of the Badger as a steadfast bastion. Much more vulnerable against SPGs than its predecessor due to its weaker raw frontal armor and very poor roof armor 2nd worst penetration value of all tier 10 TDs, premium rounds also have below average penetration Although its faster than the Tortoise, it's still slow and thus vulnerable to flanking attempts Terrible side and rear armor, which results in a lesser angling capability than its predecessor Lower plate is fairly weak and often compromises its frontal protection, especially in close range combat and on flat terrain
Overall raw armor stats are lower than its predecessor, which enables taller opponents to mitigate the sloping of the Badgers frontal plate, facing opponents with big guns like JagdPanzer E-100 are real tough experience
Great gun depression and elevation (-10/20 degrees) combined with its well-sloped frontal armor turns this vehicle into a perfect hull down tank Great gun handling, incredible aim time combined with great accuracy and an awesome rate of fire Very few tanks are able to challenge this vehicle frontally Although the 355mm frontal armor only applies to the gun mantlet, the rest of it is sloped which makes it hard to penetrate with about 300+mm of effective armor. Highest DPM of any tank in the game, enough to kill every tank in less than a minute if all shots were to penetrate The FV217 Badger marks the end of its British tank destroyer line. In addition its still lacking in mobility and flankers will have an easy time tearing this vehicle apart. Fighting this vehicle frontally is not advised.Īlthough it seems to be almost invincible from the front, The Badger doesn't have all-around protection like the Tortoise, even it was getting rid of "tumor" weakspot that hampering the effectiveness of AT brother's protection, it gained new and somewhat easier to hit weakspot at lower plate (which is harder to hide on flat terrain), its side and rear armor is noticeably weaker than that of the Tortoise. It wields a nasty 123mm gun which provides the highest DPM in the game.
This may give the wrong impression though since the 210mm part of its armor is decently sloped (Similar to StuG III) which adds about another 90mm of armor resulting in 300mm+ on its upper frontal plate. However, the 355mm of armor only exists around the gun, and the rest of its frontal armor is only around 210mm in thickness (and around 270mm at view spots). The FV217 Badger shocks anyone who faces it (or reads its paper stats) with its listed insane frontal armor of 355mm. Replaced the FV215b (183) at the tier 10 position in the British Turretless Tank Destroyer line. The FV217 Badger is a British tier 10 tank destroyer.Ī project for a tank destroyer based on the Conqueror chassis was developed in the late 1940s.
