Yeah, that would have been very very good. Paul Tremmeling complains about that in his book as well.

Black Night is from at least late 2018.
Didn’t check that one, thank you. Just looked at the one at the bottom of the tree

no it was a early proposal that eventually became the challenger 3 actually 2018 i think but it didn’t eventually become challenger 3
Considering it shares many things in common with the 2E that does make more sense
So the Challenger 3 has a 1500 HP engine, Gen 3 Gunner and commander thermals In the CITV, better armour, the 120 L/55, and possibly Iron Fist.
I’m assuming that it would also get a Megatron-esqe add on armour package, and the dinner table on the 2F.
It was showcased for the first time in September 2018 at the Defense Vehicle Dynamics.
images i have seen of it doesn’t seem to have a aps but the army says it will have one it just deciding which one i think
Just read something hilarious
“The Black Night Challenger 2 Technology Demonstrator is an upgraded version of the British army Challenger 2 MBT Main battle Tank launched by the Company BAE Systems to bid for the tank’s Life Extension Project (LEP).”
Sounds familiar to another vehicle… Hmm…

It was a long time ago when Britain air didn’t really need any help, plans can change.
Yeah it was long ago there minds could of changed
So the Megatron then?
Yep, after a quick google its part of the CR2 Life Extension Programme, which was announced in 2013. with BAE’s bid announced 2016. So 2016-2018 is reasonable ballpark for the vehicle
Most likely next update as our rank 8. will just be Black night/2E + TES
I love the Cr2’s but if they add a BK+TES without the 1500Hp engine I am going to go to Hungary and hit the Devs involved in the head with a frying pan.

I have no idea what engine it will have, but likely the same shells which is half the problem. They are underperforming big time. They stand no chance vs 12s. They are barely good enough for 11.7s
what br would chally3 be anyway it just be a better black night
All I want is the 140mm gun
12.0+
Megatron have a bigger gun? That would help, though would probably get some form of balancing nerf
