Due to the fact we got a top tier MBT last patch I doubt we’d get something decent in March sadly…

We’ll get Challenger 4s before we get IFVs

That the incomplete MBT80 turret on an incomplete CR1 hull iirc.

This is what the complete MBT-80 was planned to look like.

Do you guys think it’s a good or bad thing that it’s taking a while to hear more about the Challenger?

yeah its the ATR 2 which is the MBT 80 prototype I believe

There on Christmas break we won’t hear anything til next week at earliest

Looking positively, its taking a while because they will talk about a lot of the bugs and how they will be fixed
Looking realistically, its taking a while because they will talk about a lot of the bugs and how they will be semi fixed
Looking also realistically, its because they are on holiday

I hope we get this challenger as an event vehicle or a premium at some.

It was on the old forum but I dont know about here

Looks like an XM1

The hull on it was a test of welding steel to aluminium to make a lighter tank by having the front section be well armoured and the rear section less armoured wuth aluminium.

Yeah I know there was up to 10 M.C bombs from 6 in the bomb bay and another 4 on the wing stations. And it seems also some AShM’s. Nice.

Tell me about the CR1 Mk1 here.

Playing the OES.

Shoot a Leclerc 3 times in the mantlet, does absolutely sweet FA.

He finishes engaging my other teammates, i pop back up for a 4th shot, his first hit on my mantlet takes out my;
Breech
Turret Drive
2x Crew Members.

I notice playing any challenger that you get hit, lose 2 crew and are forced into a 30 second repair, then when you are 2 seconds from finishing the repair you die.

I shouldnt be surpirised by this, but it still angers me every time.

CR2 pain, doubled with playing at particular times is double the fun.
