The World Of Tanks Bat Chatillon 25 t Medium Tank is tier 9. I unlocked this tank when it used to be a tier 9.

Final Thoughts

At first I thought it would be fun using a tank with an autoloader, however I quickly learnt it has its faults and you have to adjust your game play compared to that of all the normal non-French tanks.

The autoloader works so that you have a magazine of 6 rounds. Though the magazine has a high rate of fire and stores 6 rounds, it does take over 40 seconds for the magazine to be reloaded when it has run out.

Combine this delay with having the lowest level of protection, you can not afford to over extend and get caught in the open whilst it reloads as you can not defend yourself, so you have to hug yourself to objects to hide behind such as rocks, dips and buildings.

I also have learnt that when you ever get a minutes respite and have only 3 or 2 rounds in the magazine, I use this chance before making another attack to reload the magazine so that it is full by swapping between types of rounds i.e. I press 3 for HE and then quickly press 1, which is my penetrator rounds.

Its also worth noting that you can not mount a tank gun rammer to reduce the loading time by 10%.

Mounted Equipment
