The Black Prince is a British tier 7 heavy tank.
Developed from 1943 through 1945 on the basis of the Churchill tank. It featured a wider and elongated hull to carry the upgraded turret with a 17-pounder gun. A total of six Black Prince prototypes were produced from 1944 through 1945. A few vehicles underwent trials but never saw action.
The last of the "Infantry tanks", the Black prince is an Overhauled Churchill equipped with serious guns. Unfortunately, nothing was done to upgrade its mobility and it remains as slow as ever. Still, even being the slowest of all tier 7 tanks, its a worthy opponent thanks to its quick rate of fire, excellent accuracy, and impressive firepower.
When first acquired, the lumbering mobility will be absolutely inadequate for its tier, and only after researching the superb Meteor engine does it gain its ability to perform a stalwart role in battle. Like the Mark VII, it boasts an excellent front and side armor, but under no circumstance should it be driven into the open as its an easy artillery target.
The Black Prince leads to the Caernarvon.

Performance
Once you're set in a direction, it will be rather difficult to track back your path as your top speed won't get you there in time; instead, you should consider where your allies are going and where you can be of most use.
Take note,that when cornering, or doing tight turns, your tracks will be exposed long before your turret and gun, allowing enemies to potentially cause extensive damage to your exposed hull; instead, you should take corners from far off the edge and angle yourself diagonally when taking the turn, thus making it harder for enemies hiding around the corner to penetrate you, due to the shallow angle of your sides, and will leave your gun clear to fire at the enemy. this strategy is valid on all Churchill Tank Models.
