The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} premium Russian fighter {{Battle-rating}}. This aircraft was introduced in [[Update 1.43]].<br />
<br />
The {{Specs|name}} is a Soviet lend-lease version of the iconic American [[P-47D-25]], with only minor differences including a camouflage colour scheme and Russian forged and welded FAB bombs weighed kilograms instead of the American bombs AN-M series bombs weighed in pounds. <br />
<br />
The fighter does, however, retain the eight deadly 12.7 mm M2 Browning machine guns which this fighter is renowned for, easily ripping off wings and also setting fuel tanks ablaze. The fighter's overall good energy retention makes this an excellent Boom & Zoom fighter but is restricted by its slow initial climbing ability. To counter the slow climb, side climbing at the start is recommended if looking for an altitude advantage to make the most use out of Boom & Zoom. This fighter also doubles as a great ground attacker, mounting an impressive payload (1,250 kg total!), unfortunately, the US did not include HVAR rockets with the lend-lease package, thus they are not available for the Soviet version. <br />

=== Survivability and armour ===<br />
''Examine the survivability of the aircraft. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, whether the fuel tanks are armoured, etc. Describe the armour, if there is any, and also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.''<br />
<br />
== Armaments ==<br />
=== Offensive armament ===<br />
<!--''Describe the offensive armament of the aircraft, if any. Describe how effective the cannons and machine guns are in a battle, and also what belts or drums are better to use. If there is no offensive weaponry, delete this subsection.''--><br />
{{main|Browning M2 (12.7 mm)}}<br />
<br />
The '''''{{Specs|name}}''''' is armed with:<br />
<br />
* 8 x 12.7 mm Browning M2 machine guns, wing-mounted (425 rpg = 3400 total)<br />
<br />
=== Suspended armament ===<br />
<!--''Describe the aircraft's suspended armament: additional cannons under the wings, bombs, rockets and torpedoes. This section is especially important for bombers and attackers. If there is no suspended weaponry remove this subsection.''--><br />
{{main|FAB-250M43 (250 kg)|FAB-500 (500 kg)}} <br />
<br />
The '''''{{Specs|name}}''''' can be outfitted with the following ordinance:<br />
<br />
* 1 x 250 kg FAB-250M43 bomb (250 kg total)<br />
* 2 x 500 kg FAB-500 bombs (1,000 kg total)<br />
* 2 x 500 kg FAB-500 bombs + 1 x 250kg FAB-250M43 bombs (1,250 kg total)<br />
<br />
== Usage in battles ==<br />
<!--''Describe the tactics of playing in an aircraft, the features of using vehicles in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).''--><br />
As with the normal P-47D-25, the D-27 can be used one of two modes, first as an excellent Boom & Zoom fighter, using its great energy retention and amazing armament against high flying bombers and fighters. Another option is as a fighter bomber, utilising the impressive payload and adequate diving characteristics of the P-47 (be aware dropping order of the bombs, the 500 kg bombs drop first and secondly the 250 kg under the fuselage is dropped). The 500 kg bombs are able to make short work of any tank whether light or heavy in its tier, but the 250kg bomb can only provide enough explosive power to destroy soft targets, like armoured cars/SPAA of the sort. The way both 500 kg bombs drop should either be used against a group of tanks (combined battles) or against large pillboxes. Other than that, the P-47 can be used in multiple roles, unfortunately, using bombs restricts flight to only staying at a low level where the P-47's engine is less effective.<br />
<br />
If you are using it as a high altitude fighter initially side climbing is recommended, as you gain a vast advantage over other enemies. The hit and run tactics work best for the P-47, singling out a lone fighter below you, diving towards them and a 2-second burst from the M2 Brownings will most likely destroy them. Always try to avoid a head-on engagement, as your engine is exposed from the front and most likely break down if something manages to hit it. If you are willing to engage a heavy bomber main targets should be the wings and elevators, as they are easy targets for the P-47.<br />

<br />
'''Cons:'''<br />
<br />
* Heavy fighter, sluggish and difficult to manoeuvre at slow speeds<br />
* Bad turning ability<br />
* Engine performance is worse in low altitudes<br />
* Worse performance when mounting bombs<br />
* Slow climbing<br />

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} premium Russian fighter {{Battle-rating}}. This aircraft was introduced in [[Update 1.43]].<br />
<br />
The {{Specs|name}} is a Soviet lend-lease version of the iconic American [[P-47D-25]], with only minor differences including a camouflage colour scheme and Russian forged and welded FAB bombs weighed kilograms instead of the American bombs AN-M series bombs weighed in pounds. <br />
<br />
The fighter does, however, retain the eight deadly 12.7 mm M2 Browning machine guns which this fighter is renowned for, easily ripping off wings and also setting fuel tanks ablaze. The fighter's overall good energy retention makes this an excellent Boom & Zoom fighter but is restricted by its slow initial climbing ability. To counter the slow climb, side climbing at the start is recommended if looking for an altitude advantage to make the most use out of Boom & Zoom. This fighter also doubles as a great ground attacker, mounting an impressive payload (1,250 kg total!), unfortunately, the US did not include HVAR rockets with the lend-lease package, thus they are not available for the Soviet version. <br />

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} premium Russian fighter {{Battle-rating}}. This aircraft was introduced in [[Update 1.43]].<br />
<br />
The {{Specs|name}} is a Soviet lend lease version of the iconic American [[P-47D-25]], with only minor differences including a camoflauge colour scheme and Russian forged and welded FAB bombs weighed kilograms instead of the American bombs AN-M series bombs weighed in pounds. <br />
<br />
The fighter does however, retain the 8 deadly 12.7mm M2 Browning that this fighter is renowned for, easily ripping off wings and also setting fuel tanks ablaze, and the fighters overall good energy retention, makes this an excellent boom and zoom fighter, but is restricted by its slow climbing ability, so side climbing at the start is recommended if you are strictly staying to this tactic. This plane also can make a great ground attacker, mounting an impressive payload(1250 Kilograms total!), but does not come with the HVAP rockets the American one gets. <br />

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} premium Russian fighter {{Battle-rating}}. This aircraft was introduced in [[Update 1.43]].<br />
<br />
The {{Specs|name}} is a Soviet lend lease version of the iconic American [[P-47D-25]], with only minor differences including a camoflauge colour scheme and Russian forged and welded FAB bombs weighed kilograms instead of the American bombs AN-M series bombs weighed in pounds. <br />
<br />
The fighter does however, retain the 8 deadly 12.7mm M2 Browning that this fighter is renowned for, easily ripping off wings and also setting fuel tanks ablaze, and the fighters overall good energy retention, makes this an excellent boom and zoom fighter, but is restricted by its slow climbing ability, so side climbing at the start is recommended if you are strictly staying to this tactic. This plane also can make a great ground attacker, mounting an impressive payload(1250 Kilograms total!), but does not come with the rockets can <br />

== Description ==<br />
<!--''In the description, the first part needs to be about the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle, as well as its key features. In the second part, tell the reader about the ground vehicle in the game. Insert the screenshot of the vehicle. If the novice player does not remember the vehicle by name, they will immediately understand what kind of vehicle it is talking about.''--><br />
The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a Rank {{Specs|rank}} premium German heavy tank {{Battle-rating|1}}. This vehicle was introduced in [[Update 1.55 "Royal Armour"]].<br />
<br />
The Pz.Kpfw. Churchill is a German captured [[Churchill Mk III]] in the German tech tree, it has virtually no differences to its British tech-tree counterpart, other than being painted grey (with the same tone as the Panzer IV and Panzer III).<br />
<br />
The Pz.Kpfw. Churchill is one of the best heavy tanks in rank III, sporting heavy frontal armour, a 6 pounder gun that is suitable for its rank, and 30 smoke grenades that are fired separately from the roof, great for covering great areas with smoke. The Churchill also has great gun depression and turret traverse, meaning it can fire at different targets very efficiently.<br />
<br />
There are very few enemies which can successfully penetrate the Churchill, the [[M10 GMC|M10]] and the [[Achilles]] can quickly take care of this vehicle even at long ranges! Other tanks like the [[Jagdpanzer IV]], the [[Jagdpanzer 38(t)]], and the [[Dicker Max]] can also make quick work of the Churchill, but only in arcade battles, as in realistic battles, they all belong in the same tree.<br />
<br />
This vehicle has a few weaknesses which are important to be aware of before charging into battle. First is low acceleration with a maximum speed of only 24.9 km/h, so it’s merely jogging speed as opposed to charging. The tank is also very bulky, difficult to manoeuvre, and is also a large target. Combine those weaknesses with thin roof armour and this tank becomes the perfect prey for fighter-bombers and rocket attacks. The side armour is not as strong as it’s frontal armour, meaning it is vulnerable to flanking.<br />
<br />
== General info ==<br />
=== Survivability and armour ===<br />
''Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members. Is the level of armour protection sufficient, is the placement of modules helpful for survival in combat?''<br />
<br />
''If necessary use a visual template to indicate the most secure and weak zones of the armour.''<br />
<br />
=== Mobility ===<br />
''Write about the mobility of the ground vehicle. Estimate the specific power and manoeuvrability as well as the maximum speed forward and backwards.''<br />
<br />
== Armaments ==<br />
=== Main armament ===<br />
''Give the reader information about the characteristics of the main gun. Assess its effectiveness in a battle based on the reloading speed, ballistics and the power of shells. Do not forget about the flexibility of the fire, that is how quickly the cannon can be aimed at the target, open fire on it and aim at another enemy. Add a link to the main article on the gun: <code><nowiki>{{main|Name of the weapon}}</nowiki></code>. Describe in general terms the ammunition available for the main gun. Give advice on how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage.''<br />
<br />
=== Additional armament ===<br />
''Some tanks are armed with several guns in one or more turrets. Evaluate the additional weaponry and give advice on its use. Describe the ammunition available for additional weaponry. Give advice on how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage. If there is no additional weaponry remove this subsection.''<br />
<br />
=== Machine guns ===<br />
''Offensive and anti-aircraft machine guns not only allow you to fight some aircraft but also are effective against lightly armoured vehicles. Evaluate machine guns and give recommendations on its use.''<br />
<br />
== Usage in the battles ==<br />
<!--''Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).''--><br />
Like it’s British counterpart, the Churchill can be used as a very efficient brawler with its excellent turret traverse and gun depression, combined with its heavy frontal armour. Though in urban environments, you should be careful in case someone tries to flank your weak side and rear armour.<br />
<br />
If you are not in an up-tiered situation, you can effectively enter a battle and absorb all the enemy rounds which could’ve been fired at your weaker teammates and either engage the enemy with your 75 mm cannon or let your teammates return fire. Companion vehicles such as the [[Pz.IV F2|Panzer IV F2]], [[8,8 cm Flak 37 Sfl.|Flakbus]] and other German vehicles possess superior firepower compared to the other country vehicles in rank III (Except for other special TD’s, such as the American [[M10 GMC|M10]] and British [[Achilles]]) and can in most cases hold their own.<br />
<br />
=== Pros and cons ===<br />
<!--'Summarize and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in a bulleted list. Do not use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - they have a substitution in the form of softer "inadequate", "effective".''--><br />
'''Pros:'''<br />
<br />
* Excellent frontal and decent side armour, can be angled for better effect<br />
* Large tracks can absorb shells fired at the side<br />
* Gun mantlet is also well armoured<br />
* Fast turret traverse; easy to engage people without turning<br />
* Quick reloading 6 Pounder can deal with most enemies<br />
* Has the ability to pivot steer<br />
* Good acceleration <br />
* Premium tank, earns more rewards after a match<br />
* Less enemies that can kill you in RB and SB, as you are in the German tree<br />
* Can be used in the same playstyle as the [[Churchill Mk III|Churchill III]] as a spearhead for you lesser armoured team<br />
* Slow speed and large weight gives it a good stabiliser for shooting on the move<br />
* 30 individually fired smoke grenades, great for covering points and areas with smoke<br />
<br />
*<br />
<br />
'''Cons:'''<br />
<br />
* Large target; easily spotted by bombers/fighter-bombers<br />
* Slow speed; can take some time getting it to battle<br />
* Horrible reverse speed, cannot get out of a sticky situation<br />
* Pivot steering can lose a lot of energy<br />
* Gun isn’t suitable for engaging heavy tanks<br />
* Upgunned German vehicles still a threat in Arcade Battles<br />
* Lack of camouflage; only Urban grey and Winter Camo<br />
* Machine gun port is only 50mm<br />
* Roof armour is very thin<br />
* Engine mostly affected when hit from the side or turret<br />
* Tracks are large, and take long to repair<br />
* The good gun depression is hindered by tacks and can only depress in front, and in the sides<br />

<!--''Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics.

Like it’s British counterpart, the Churchill can be used as a very efficient brawler with its excellent turret traverse and gun depression, combined with its heavy frontal armour. Though in urban environments, you should be careful in case someone tries to flank your weak side and rear armour.<br />
<br />
If you are not in an up-tiered situation, you can effectively enter a battle and absorb all the enemy rounds which could’ve been fired at your weaker, lesser teammates and either engage the enemy with your 75 mm cannon or let your teammates return fire. Companion vehicles such as the [[Pz.IV F2|Panzer IV F2]], [[8,8 cm Flak 37 Sfl.|Flakbus]] and other German vehicles possess superior firepower compared to the other country vehicles in rank III (Except for other special TD’s, such as the American [[M10 GMC|M10]] and British [[Achilles]]) and can in most cases hold their own.<br />
<br />
=== Pros and cons ===<br />
'''Pros:'''<br />
<br />
* Excellent frontal and decent side armour, can be angled for better effect<br />
* Large tracks can absorb shells fired at the side<br />
* Gun mantlet is also well armoured<br />
* Fast turret traverse; easy to engage people without turning<br />
* Quick reload and average 6 Pounder can still deal with enemies<br />
* Has the ability to pivot steer<br />
* Good acceleration <br />
* Premium tank, earns more rewards after a match<br />
* Less enemies that can kill you, as you are in the German tree<br />
* Can be used in the same playstyle as the Churchill III, as a spearhead for you lesser armoured team<br />
* Slow speed and large weight gives it a good stabiliser for shooting on the move<br />
* 30 individually fire smoke grenades, great for covering points and hills<br />
<br />
*<br />
<br />
'''Cons:'''<br />
<br />
* Large target; easily spotted by bombers/fighter-bombers<br />
* Slow speed; can take some time getting it to battle<br />
* Horrible reverse speed, cannot get out of a sticky situation<br />
* Pivot steering can lose a lot of energy<br />
* Gun isn’t suitable for engaging heavy tanks<br />
* Upgunned German vehicles still a threat in Arcade Battles<br />
* Lack of camouflage; only Urban grey and Winter Camo<br />
* Machine gun port is only 50mm<br />
* Roof armour is very thin<br />

== Description ==<br />
<!--''In the description, the first part needs to be about the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle, as well as its key features. In the second part, tell the reader about the ground vehicle in the game. Insert the screenshot of the vehicle. If the novice player does not remember the vehicle by name, they will immediately understand what kind of vehicle it is talking about.''--><br />
The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a Rank {{Specs|rank}} premium German heavy tank {{Battle-rating|1}}. This vehicle was introduced in [[Update 1.55 "Royal Armour"]].<br />
<br />
The Pz.Kpfw. Churchill is a German captured [[Churchill Mk III]] in the German tech tree, it has virtually no differences to its British tech-tree counterpart, other than being painted grey (with the same tone as the Panzer IV and Panzer III).<br />
<br />
The Pz.Kpfw. Churchill is one of the best heavy tanks in rank III, sporting heavy frontal armour, a 6 pounder gun that is suitable for its rank, and 30 smoke grenades that are fired separately from the roof, Great for covering great areas with smoke. The Churchill also has great gun depression and turret traverse, meaning it can fire at different targets very efficiently.<br />
<br />
There are very few enemies which can successfully penetrate the Churchill, the [[M10 GMC|M10]] and the [[Achilles]] can quickly take care of this vehicle even at long ranges! Other tanks like the [[Jagdpanzer IV]], the [[Jagdpanzer 38(t)]], and the [[Dicker Max]] can also make quick work of the Churchill, but only in arcade battle, as in realistic battle, they all belong in the same tree.<br />
<br />
This vehicle has a few weaknesses which are important to be aware of before charging into battle. First is low acceleration with a maximum speed of only 24.9 km/h, so it’s merely jogging speed as opposed to charging. The tank is also very bulky, difficult to manoeuvre, and is also a large target. Combine those weaknesses with thin roof armour and this tank becomes the perfect prey for fighter-bombers and rocket attacks. The side armour is not as strong as it’s frontal armour, meaning it is vulnerable to flanking.<br />
<br />
== General info ==<br />
=== Survivability and armour ===<br />
''Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members. Is the level of armour protection sufficient, is the placement of modules helpful for survival in combat?''<br />

Add a link to the main article on the gun: <code><nowiki>{{main|Name of the weapon}}</nowiki></code>. Describe in general terms the ammunition available for the main gun. Give advice on how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage.''<br />
