The MGCS not the Challenger 130mm
This is the last time i will say it today
You are taking a separate statement talking about a Rheinmetalls focus on MGCS which is not the Challenger 130mm
it does not say they mainly did it for Germany or the MGCS programme it only says that the programme is there focus in 2021
The statements i am using is from the official interview with the project lead
was the original interview in english or is it a translation from german? Kinda wanna know if sth may have been lost inbetween the lines
The turret is a Challenger 2 LEP turret modified to fit the 130mm gun, the Challenger 3 turrets hadn’t been produced at that time
Eng as far as i am aware
Idk what to do with this tank if it has to go to one nation alone because either choice will be controversial. The language chosen in all the articles is just soo incredibly vague.
Just delete France or sth
It just got accepted. It does not mean ever see it as also stated By Smin. There is a chance it might just never be added
The Youtube video alone has 1 million views. The tank is too well known for Gaijin to not add it to the game.
Maybe they would just add it to both nations in TT to avoid controversy if they ever add it
To the US and USSR?
Germany and Britain.
How is the ussr and us even related to chally 130
Just to annoy both))
You have to love the excuses the “Big 3” mains make.
Always kicking the goal posts I guess. What a joke.
Not exactly it’s built by the rheinmetall for German testing if the 130mm but it should go to both 🤷♀️ it is a German challanger
except you have the history of that vehicle wrong lol
Hmm, Big-3, but I am seeing only two
Wait and see…
When we get a chance to get an Indian Pantsir or Su-30MKI…

BAE stands for British Aerospace
The Challenger 130 & 140mm tech demonstrator should be for the UK. It will still be bottom of the barrel for that tier of new machinery most likely.
KF51 130 & 140mm for Germany
EMBD ADT 140 from KMW & Nexter could go to Germany and France
T‑14 Armata for Russia
SEPv3 is late and should already be here, Leopard 2A8 too. Then the US will have to wait for the Abrams upgrade replacement to drop in line with these other brand new developments.
I’ve got no idea what to do for other countries, they’ll have to find asymmetric equivalents I guess or rely on airpower.
Giving the top ammo for the intermediary tanks like the 2A8 and SEPv3 could help them straddle the gap to the latest future generation tanks. Gaijin still refuse to give Western ammo it’s claims of 800mm at 2km instead of in game 10meters.
Why does Gaijin put export models in the nation that doesn’t use the export model? it’s really nonsensical. Just do what makes sense. (Sorry you can’t use your own tank because it’s built elsewhere)
Put the machine with the nation that uses it or it’s manufacturers intended to use it in edge cases.
How many Challenger chassis does Germany own? none I’m fairly sure. Not even the one on the 130mm test bed.
Rheinmetall bought into BAE systems for a bite at the UK pie of tank fabrication. That still makes it a joint venture.
The British still own the chassis and Rheinmetall bought shares in BAE to make this partnership happen.
It’s almost getting to the point of new Tech Trees.
America
China
EU
Russia
??? very hard to balance. Modern cooperation is very complicated. Silly of me to try and compress tech trees and nations.
But the UK owns the chassis and Rheinmetall bought into BAE (British Aerospace Europe) to produce it.
It was around before and separate to KMW & Nexter project. What’s not to understand?
