MBT-80 for tech tree, falcon turret for event or premium

Yes that too, I though we were limited to Challenger modifications

We also have Chieftain 900

Well we have prototype T series tanks so why not a prototype challenger

Anything about a gunner’s NV before TOGS?

Incorrect behaviour of Ammunition on British MBTs using HESH // Gaijin.net // Issues

If anyone has anything on L31A7 being inert or being implied to be inert now would be a brilliant time

I will have a look after practice, but chieftain also had a night vision sight so why should Chally have one


Commander definitely had night vision, I haven’t found anything on the gun sight yet but it logically should have it. Also the MK.1 Challengers are already fitted with the armoured housing for the TOGS


Surprise Surprise(not really) our Challenger 1 mk.3 in game had the wrong ammo storage, the 3 Hesh shells to the left of the driver were eliminated with the mk.3

Also all of our gunners sights might be wrong


It 1-10x and we have 7-10x in game

Fire up the Bug Report cannon!

I saw something somewhere that the policy was not to simulate 1x zoom as you already have 3rd person view. TBH having 7x and 10x is often more useful than only 10x.

1x is not implemented, so only 10x is implemented, and 7x is the magnification of the auxiliary sight.

You can see the splash sheet (1) in this pic. Looks like a thin sheet of kevlar-esque material, which can expand and compress vertically with the movement of the gun.
