Challenger 2 MBT - Technical data and Discussion (Part 2)

British mains when we try out APHE tanks or get a soviet squadron vehicle hammer the hell out of everyone and anything because we have to be more accurate and smart just to even exist for more than five seconds. My stats on the Tiger E are still on my first page and that’s from when id only been playing a couple months and decided to see if german teams really are as bad as the meme. I sucked and still had a positive K/D despite Tiger being in uptier hell

This will never be added because it could be 11.7 and britbong mains will still make it be a nuke printer

Its been 3 years and I’ve not gave up on the Chieftain’s getting their LRF and Thermals.

I will not stop until the Mk3 gets its LRF, and the MK5 gets it LRF and Gen 1 Thermals.

Same for the MK10 getting its Gen 1s.

Wait how did the mk5 and mk10 have thermals? I thought it was only the mk11 that had thermals.

Yeah the Mk5’s received thermals through the Totem pole Program, Which was a program to upgrade all Chieftains to the Mk10 standard. And the Mk10’s received Thermals in the early 80s.

the mk3 didnt have LRF that was the mk3/3, we have the mk as it was when it entered service not retrofits. From what I’ve found when researching the MK 5 only the Chieftain Mk.5/2K had TOGs, Totem pole and from factory mk5s either do have LRS or don’t depending on the source. the mk9 and mk10 had stillbrew however the mk11 was the one that introduced TOGs to chieftain.

The MK3 in game is a 3/3, I’ve looked at all the bits, it SHOULD have the LRF.

Totem pole was to bring all chieftains up to mk5 standards, this was from 1975, the mk10 was introduced in 1986

And i have a book printed in 1985 that says that all Frontline Chieftain’s had Thermal Imagers.

We need to take technological limitations of the era into account when we see terms like this, Night vision cameras were often called thermal imagers back then. Thermals as we know them today is a generational leap of the tech that wasn’t commonly known of at the time

Most of all that I was surprised, is the mobility of the tiger.
I was the first to arrive at the point in every battle and drove out the enemy LT from there. Now I don’t understand at all why the enemy on tigers never moves. They literally have the strongest tank.
But they prefer to use it as SPH.

It Specifically calls out the TOG’s Mk1.

The TOG’s Box that had proper Thermal imagers.
