The Warbond shop for the “Royal Guard” Battle Pass season will be open from 25th of January until 26th of April.

Don't miss the opportunity to get premium vehicles: from a Swedish hydroplane to an Italian destroyer. Pay special attention to KW II 754 (r) - a German heavy tank capable of destroying any target with its powerful HE shells.

The Warbond shop is available to players that have vehicles of rank III and up and is part of the Battle Pass. You can purchase items with the special ‘Warbond’ currency that can be obtained by unlocking Battle Pass levels.

An argument could equally be made as follows:
(1) 7.3 (Or 7.7, or 8.0) tanks were never supposed to be as good as an 8.3 tank, or they would be 8.3 themselves.
(2) That the WMA has soggy tissue paper for armor, and that even planes with .30 caliber (much less .50...) machine guns can pose a serious threat to it.
(3) That ~16.5 horsepower per ton for 8.3 is average at best- you need a lot of room for the 301 to "stretch his legs".
and (4) that the only round worth using on that tank (APFSDS) is equivalent to what several other 8.0/8.3 tanks use (DM33, M111, etc), and grossly underperforms what some 8.7 tanks have access to (Type 93, DM33, 3BM28).

That right there is the issue.

Most British tanks just fire slugs with no HE filler, so until you get to quality AP(FS)DS rounds, you will have to aim for modules to specifically take a tank out piece by piece.

Pretty much this.. - Early on, British vehicles have always had a (comparatively..) brutal time making clean one-hit kills, and it doesn't get any better until you start getting Shot Mk.8 and APDS/superior ammo. At least, that's been my experience.

The history of the Swedish Armed Forces goes back half a millennium, when Gustav Vasa led a rebellion against Denmark, secured Sweden’s independence and became its king. On January 14th, 1521, sixteen young men were chosen to be Gustav’s life guards. And even today, the Life Guards are one of the largest units in the Swedish Armed Forces.

Biggest issue would be the type and size of the ATA missiles payload (Comparative to something designed explicitly for anti-armor role).

Happens on occasion for me, exiting/relaunching typically solves it.

Is it repeatable for you?

I think the default key you are looking for is "E". The Control (if you have to set it) is "Toggle gunner targets".
