History
The Tank, Infantry, Mk IV (A22) was a heavy British infantry tank used in the Second World War, best known for its heavy armor, large longitudinal chassis with all-around tracks with multiple bogies, and its use as the basis of many specialty vehicles. It was one of the heaviest allied tanks of the war. This series of tanks was named after Winston Churchill, who was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Minister of Defense at the time, and had been involved with the development of the tank as a weapon during the First World War.
A20 heavy tank was the first prototype for the Churchill (which is A22).  The turret is from a Matilda 2, so that's a 2pdr in there.
The origins of the A22 Churchill can be traced back to the days prior to World War II. In the late 1930s, the British Army began seeking a new infantry tank to replace the Matilda II and Valentine. Following standard doctrine of the time, the army specified that the new tank be capable of traversing enemy obstacles, attacking fortifications, and navigating a shell-cratered battlefield. Initially designated the A20, the task of creating the vehicle was given to Harland & Wolff. Sacrificing speed and armament to meet the army's requirements, Harland & Wolff began design work in early 1940.
The Churchill evolved into one of the key British tanks of the war. In addition to serving in its traditional role, the Churchill was frequently adapted into specialist vehicles such as flame tanks, mobile bridges, armored personnel carriers, and armored engineer tanks. Retained after the war, the Churchill remained in British service until 1952.

 

Pros and Cons
Pros:
  • Armor is highly effective against tier 4s and newbie
  • Largest hit points pool of any tier 5 tank
  • Very high rate of fire, reasonably accurate even while moving
  • Frontal weak spots easily hidden by hull angling
  • Generates a high level of EXP, which speeds crew training
  • Cheap ammo and repair costs
  • Preferential matchmaking means it only sees up to Tier 6 battles
  • Very large ammo capacity (spammer)
  • Hull armor (particularly the lower plate) and speed is slightly better than the British tier 5 Churchill I
 

Cons:
  • Moves, accelerates, and rotates slowly
  • Low alpha damage
  • Barely-adequate penetration values
  • Poorly-protected turret
  • Mostly unsloped armor
  • Priority target for artillery
  • Gun reloads faster than it can aim
  • Can be ammo racked by a 122mm shell through the turret
 
 
Play style
Top tier: Be your team. Cover them by tracking the enemy first and then lower their HP. Shot them 3-4 rounds then track them again. Prevent your turret from being hit.
Facing tier 6: Run for your life when you see kv2 with derp-gun and do not solo with the KV-1S, its 122mm can blow away the gunner in the turret. Try to cover your team, use amazing RoF to break their tracks and deal damage.

  1. I see that you've went with the Toolbox instead of the Repair skill. I'm not sure if that's a good idea. Also, it would be nice to keep also the skills/perks names, as images only may be confusing - I know most of them, but am not sure about the last one for loader. Spall liner is a viable option for the Churchill. Not only additional protection against HE, but also +30% to the crew HP, and as their are located in the turret, and experienced player know that they should shoot you there- any additional protection is welcom. Maybe I'd even put a rammer on the Churchill. I know it has high ROF, and does fire faster than aims, but in close quarters, when your spamming speed counts... Yes, it will not speed up a one shot significantly, but 5, or 10 in a row -then it will make a difference.
    I'd go with Clutch before Off road too.
