Don't have time to do a full review right now but just a quick comment on the Gonzo (Tier 8, British premium heavy)...
...it's better than I expected. The front of the turret has 250mm of armor and it's quite bouncy. Combined with 10 degrees of gun depression that makes it playable in hilly terrain.
The gun is a bit derpy (as the .43 dispersion suggests) but it's not awful. 240 standard pen is nice at tier 8, 440 alpha is nice. And since the standard rounds only cost 895 you can make credits with it. The gold ammo on this are HE, though, and cost a whopping 5200... for which you get 31 LESS pen. So enjoy that 240 pen because pressing 2 isn't getting you more.
Mobility on the Gonsalo is surprisingly good for a heavy. The 20 p/w ratio serves it well, and it feels faster than the listed 37 top speed.
That said, it's a good thing the front of the turret is 250mm because the rest of the tank is paper. And the 12.6 second reload (granted I don't have a great crew) feels quite long.
It's not a good UK HT crew trainer because it only has a 3-person crew (just like the Caliban) but I am finding it more fun to play than I expected.
GLHF!
