The Baboon King

CharlemagneU.K. Field modification

Tier VIII Premium heavy tank made in U.K.. WarGaming Tankpedia specs »

A project developed by the School of Tank Technology (STT) in 1958, presenting a medium tank with a high crossing capacity, the maximum weight for its type, and a low silhouette. This vehicle was supposed to have a "pike nose" and an all-cast turret. Its frontal hull and turret armor was planned to be strong enough to compete with Soviet heavy tanks. The vehicle's distinctive feature was a gun with perfect stabilization and low shell velocity.

      Intuition

      Allows for quicker switching between shell types in a loaded gun. To activate this skill, a gun, a double-barreled gun, or a magazine must be fully loaded. If two loaders have the same skill, the average skill level is taken into account. The minimum time to change a shell type is 1 s for cyclic (standard) guns and 2.5 s for double-barreled guns and magazines.

      Safe Stowage

      Increases ammo rack durability: the shells do not come into contact with each other. If two Loaders have this perk, the effect is not cumulative. This perk is cumulative with the effects of Modified Configuration.

It's up to you to choose what to start with instead of Repairs.
To take full advantage of Intuition, use it on two crew members where possible (loaders or others).
If your tank gets often ammo racked, take Safe Stowage first (especially British tanks).

*Order of skills and perks is important.
