Well, now what?

yeah not sure whats going on here but that isnt the standard spec

Looks like optical sensor cabling going into that green box. Perhaps this is Challenger 2E or a version that did not use TOGS II and has extra kit for the optics?

Just want to point out too: this photo has the turret rotated to what must be past 90 degrees to the right. That’s the left charge bin near the drivers compartment under the chair.

In the bottom right we can see the steel frame of the chair and the area behind the chair : No ammo rack.

that you can see

these photo’s appear to be from the same tank

Yea, now that i look at it it seems so, still, who is wrong and who is right?

It’s showing where the supposed ammo compartment is, but there’s nothing. No box, no tubes. Its empty, to make room for the steel frame of the reclining chair

image

Then we are dealing with a great party of wrong cr2 racks, am i right?

So the steel frame of the chair goes…over the rack?

judging off this, it appears your photo’s arent standard but i am slightly perplexed i’ll admit

Well, I’ve already submitted some research requests to Bovington so hopefully we can definitively say soon hahaha

3:08 you can see while the loader is reaching around that there are 3 on the wall in the training one
