Tank description:

The Bishop is a British tier 5 self-propelled gun.Developed on the basis of the Valentine tank. The standard turret was replaced by a stationary box-shaped cabin that featured a 25-pounder howitzer. Due to the low gun elevation angle (15 deg), the maximum firing range was only 5,800 m, which is only half as long as its firing range in the towed state. The SPG saw combat in North Africa, Sicily, and South Italy. According to various sources, a total of 80–100 vehicles were produced.The Bishop feels like a major leap back after the versatility of the Birch Gun; you no longer have a full traversable gun mount, but are forced to deal with a very narrow gun traverse; it has a pitiful range for both guns; and it has a fatally tall silhouette. Its saving grace, however, is better protection and HP than its predecessors, being based on the hull of a Valentine. Further, its second gun is considerably better than the 25-pounder adding capabilities to make shots few SPGs can make, and thus more map versatility. Play the Bishop like an SU-5; move up with the rear lines of your team, and bombard targets of opportunity. Even if you are spotted, you can survive a decent amount of fire while retreating.The Bishop leads to the FV304.
