Only kinda normal game I had with Birch Gun ever :) British Arty Birch Gun, 3 Kills, Ensk.

The Birch Gun is a British tier 4 self-propelled gun. In the 1920s, British engineers explored the idea of an SPG on a tank chassis. Development of the vehicle started in 1923 at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich. It was based on the Vickers Medium Mark II, the chassis of which could carry the required modules. A total of seven prototypes were manufactured from 1926 through 1927 and joined the Experimental Mechanised Force established on May 1, 1927. Later, the unit was disbanded, along with the SPG program.

For all intents and purposes, the Birch Gun functions identically to the SU-26. Equipping a Camo Net would be very useful, since it will not have to turn its chassis when acquiring new targets (unless you want to snap to a target quickly, as the gun traverse is slow). Having a low profile not only helps in camouflaging, it also comes in handy when going into TD mode to fight off tanks that come too close.

While the 25-pounder gun is marginally more powerful than the stock 18-pounder, it can load AP rounds, which comes in useful for staying hidden. Its anemic damage and low splash means that, for the most part, you will be doing double digit damage to anything with a reasonable amount of armour. However, it makes up for it with a good rate of fire like its predecessor the Sexton II, along with decent accuracy and a high gun arc to fire over obstacles.

The Birch Gun leads to the Bishop.
