You got to test how it works in different turrets and hulls

Spoiler

With sound

Made me chuckle

Think about it

So it was named lep during developement (in game)

Expalins why the list had XXX they didn’t know what to call it

This is an advertisement for a new rank. But this is not Challenger 3, this is Challenger 2.

Challenger 2 LEP and Cr2 we have now are IDENTICAL. The differences will be in the production variant

It was a prototype the retroactively became the Challenger 3 prototype

Will mobility really improve in the Chally 3P? That is the question. I bought everything related to mobility in the Black Night, and when making tight turns, turning left or right, it’s a pain, as if it were a heavy tank. I’m seriously thinking about giving up on this nation. I’ll probably give up and focus on evolving in Israel; at least the Merkava 4 is not an OP tank like the Russians, among others, and has decent mobility

It will speed up faster. Everything else stays the same

BN handles the same as a naked CR2, CR3(P) will be more responsive but same top speed

Seeing as it currently sports the ahistorical 1500hp engine output, for now it will until bug reported and fixed. Should handle like a slightly heavier 2E overall for the time being, and then in a similar way to the BN after getting “fixed”.

Are people really going to bug report it not supposed to have the 1500hp engine? Really? So petty.

Same people reported Mk.105 engines on ASSTA 1 over 100kgf difference.

If it’s not real, it oughts to be reported, no matter who has it or why.

Well there is no manual to go off of, so good luck to them with that :KEKW:

Just as Gaijin won’t improve the armour even though reports state it has improved protection, it still retains the regular armour of the CR2.

That’s the funny part, there doesn’t need to be one - people simply need to gather a lot of evidence where there is no mention of the engine receiving an uplift from 1200hp.

The vehicle we’re getting is based on the 2019s tech demo, as such the only changes it received were in relation to the turret (ammunition, gun and sights + drives iirc).

Rheinmetall did not change the armour, nor did they fiddle with the engine… and under HAAIP there is no uplift either.

HAAIP increases the engine power to 1500hp, I’d prefer gaijin keep that and change the article to say it’s as it appeared in the 2021 announcement

According to?

Recent posts indicate no such thing happening, as the cooling is not sufficient enough to handle such power, nor was this financed, and as far as I know the Chally 3 isn’t even getting the common rail injection which is essential for the power uplift.

Logically, it ain’t got that sort of engine output.
