Challenger 130mm Testbed does not belong to Germany

Not the same, the 2A4M CAN is a German design sold (and modified?) to Canada.

The Khalid in its entirety was developed and produced in the UK - Jordan had no input, they weren’t even the intended export recipient. They were offered the tank by the UK after Iran could no longer purchase it and they took the order.

A development by a German company, not Germany themselves.

Different to the Challenger 1 Falcon which was a co-development by the actual governments of South Africa and Jordan.

Yeah, they are wrong on that, but afaik all the Challengers we have ingame were developments done by the UK.

The one exception is the Challenger 2 LEP, which was initially developed by Rheinmetall.

However, the LEP was designed specifically for the British and has undergone significant trials with the UK, with the Challenger 2 LEP now under ownership of RBSL which is a British based company.

I dont think you disagree with that part, I just thought I’d give Rheinmetall their credit where it’s due.

That is true, but to my knowledge autoloader reload rates for the most part are based off historical data.

Take a look at the T80 reload buffs, where gaijin had to put in effort to actually prove the autoloader could achieve that speed.

However, by gaijin logic as well, they could always buff the Leopard 2A7Vs reload rate to 5 seconds if they wanted to. Hopefully they don’t, as it might be a little too good if they do that :)

2a4M kit specialy was designed by knds later on as well yes. On canadian request.
Still stays a gweman export.

Honestly the game doesnt go that deep into the specifics.
For the most part an export is an export.
Doubt they cares about that.

Nup all correct, its a complete export design.
But cause the export country UK is in the game, all right go to them.

While challenger 130 is based on the LEP, which no one denies. It still is categorized as a different vehicle, and does not fall under the complete british designation

With the janked turret baskets, the armor holes and so on wouldnt realy matter.

Over 2 years ago they promised a model rework tp fix the problems, and then somewhere in between just canceled those plans

They seemed to give up on their reworks after the Challenger 2 “rework” which didn’t really fix anything and was completely pointless.
