Advantages:

Highest HP pool of any tier V heavy (700 HP with second turret).
Good view range, especially for a heavy tank.
Armor can be somewhat tough if angled; Small 177mm strong point in upper-right hull will bounce even some tier 7 guns .
2nd highest penetration of the tier V heavies (only the VK.30 01 H ranks higher) with great accuracy and aimtime.
Good turret traverse for a heavy.

Disadvantages:

Majority of the frontal hull armor is only 75mm with no slope.
Top turret is Flat, weak, and has no mantlet. Exposed roof is a pitiful 19mm thick (57mm guns can overmatch!).
Exposed tracks get knocked out very frequently.
Deplorable gun elevation and depression when using top gun.
Low top speed and sluggish traverse does''nt help the already mediocre armor and exposed tracks

Early modifications had no track fenders, a different fan, and a 3-inch howitzer in the hull. A total of 300 Churchill I tanks were manufactured.The Churchill I is by far the slowest heavy tank at Tier 5. It is a very inflexible vehicle with some very glaring weaknesses, but it does have an accurate gun with good penetration.The Churchill I leads to the Churchill VII.
