Sending my challenger 3 to the in-house tuning workshop to make it go 100mph.
I do wonder what it would take to make a challenger 3 go 100mph.

It will take exactly one WhistlinDiesel.
without modifiying the powertrain its impossible
you’d need a new gearbox, a new engine, different final drive ratios, Going downhill on a 60% gradient and with a following wind
they would have mean 1,100 kW
George Allison will be very upset.
Eh?

Well considering it’s done 80kph, 100kph could be possible with more power and more importantly composite rubber track ;)
Then just need another 60kph from somwehere to get it too 100mph

Im thinking some RATOs :P
the humble cliff
They need to do better haha.
On the other note there probably a couple of these bad boys in german stockpile.
I’d say 6 and your Chally will be ready for take off.

Perhaps, but still, how are they making such basic mistakes
I’ve seen kW and hp mixed up on MOD documents relating to Challenger 2 in the national archives. Mistakes happen.

This comment makes me wonder if anybody has thought of making a tank entirely electric? Silent (mostly, the tracks and sheer weight of the tank going over terrain will still make a lot of noise.) possibly more power and torque? Though the sheer amount of logistics it would take to charge up a… electric tank would be nuts, can’t exactly say troops will find fast chargers in a battlefield anywhere, probably a stupid idea now that I’m saying it out loud xD
Ever seen a SpaceX Super Heavy booster?
The M1E3 is planned to be a diesel electric hybrid
