WOT Express: Chieftain Mk. 6 Release in May 2025

The cat reports that the final designation of the Chieftain Mk. 6 (🇬🇧 UK, Tier 10, promotional) has been confirmed.

The Royal Chieftain will see its global release in May 2025. This is an old tank that the English-speaking community has been eagerly awaiting.

As a reminder, back in autumn 2024, there were assumptions that this tank would finally be released in 2025.
Its original fate is now hard to recall. The Chieftain Mk. 6 first appeared way back in September 2015.
And now, it’s finally getting its release nearly 10 years later. wipes tear

      1. bro we just had an assembly shop with 2 tanks lmao, we def ain’t getting one more till late july + gryphon or schwertwal is more suited for assembly

  1. When this Chieftain is introduced, the unicorns will enjoy it like kids in a candy store, but let the big announcement for September be:
    – The game closes
    – Introduction of Tier 11, 12, 13, and missile mechanics (kinetic and guided)

    That would be hilarious

    1. It’s only the PC version that’s closing so WG can concentrate on the mobile and console versions.

      1. That’s nonsense! WoT’s biggest market is PC players. That would be shooting themselves in the foot…

  2. I bet my butt this thing won’t be nearly as badass as the Reward Chieftain. The players who have been eagerly awaiting a new unpenetratable Hulldown monster will probably be sorely disappointed. I see something more like the Tier 9 Chieftain prototype coming. Bud hype is hype…

    1. have you even seen its stats? it has the BEST gun of an heavy tank in the game and dpm higher than even e5 and type 71, hell its a heavy platform with a medium gun, you have 1.3 sec aim time, 0.27 accuracy and 0.11 dispersion factors. only noobs want an impenetrable armor tank, the good players would def want it AND it’ll have a much higher skill celling than t95/fv4201

      1. True, the only ht that can rival mk6 gun stats is fv215b but it has a bit worse dpm

      2. I’m sure that unless it’s available via boxes (a.k.a available for literally everyone with deep enough pockets), the mark requirements will be sky-high! Probably close to the Hurricane and way more than T95/FV4201.

  3. The best thing would be for Chieftain Mk.6 to replace Super Conqueror in the techtree, however it’s much more likely it’ll be a whale-only item (loot boxes, Assembly Shop, etc.).

    1. OH wouldnt that be some tomfukkery….like the great waffle debacle or badger rollout…making a 183 worth 2500 credits or whatever instead of 6M like other Tier X. Take my super conq. I only use it in onslut.

  4. If this thing doesn’t get a massive buff then it’s only worth the price of a techtree tank.

      1. Currently, it’s not exaggerated to say this thing is a piece of shit.
        Extremely poor armor for a tier 10 HT and mediocre dynamics.
        The only thing it has is the gun, and its gun is not even that impressive.
        Very high DPM + very good gun handling sure but what’s from that if you lose HP every time you peek?

        If you want to play as a support tank that uses your teammates as meatshields to deal dmg without taking hits then the T57 HT is a much better choice with its HEATs and burst potential.

        1. It will be a great tank but for great players. It will be hard to play like the fv215b but if you will do it right it will be a monster

  5. its crazy that this game has gone to shit so much, a chief mk6 is mid at best lmao

      1. interesting way to say off meta but go off.
        a good gun still gets fucked by rng, but a reliable turret keeps you in the game longer, especially since this game has been only building on the 7 years old hull down meta, instead of maybe shaking it up.
        the current tier 10 chief has an absolute fucking dogshit gun, and it was never good even before the nerf, yet it still needs 5k+ for 3mark because of the armor.
        good gun doesnt mean shit if the platform sucks, same with fv215b.

        1. No, if the gun is good enough and the rest of the tank isnt shit its all good. Just like with fv215b, it has great gun and the rest of it isnt shit, so the tank is great

            1. Fv215b one of the best heavy for a reason. And tha gun is a part of it. Idk what you dont understand

              1. no, its you who doesnt understand, you are just parroting dakillzor without having a clue.
                the gun isnt the part of it, the gun is the fucking reason why people like fv215b.
                the entire platform is fucking trash, fire, ammorack, and autopen literally everywhere, while also being slow and big, oh, and rear turreted.
                the only good thing about fv besides the gun is hp, nothing else.

                1. 2500 base hp, ok mobility and armor that can accually bounce sometimes isnt a bad platform. Also it almost doesnt burn in last 65 battles i got set on fire only once. And ofc the gun is the reason fv is that good which means that the new chif will be also great or even better. Fv is so good that you can do 4.3k dpg on average so mk6 may be even op
