Weren’t the spaced armor plates on the Megatron demonstrator? (Or was that meant sarcastically XD)

isn’t the OES also called Megatron
Yes but no. Megatron evolved from OES. It is still Dorchester 2H, not 2I on OES

Megatron is the one that got the 1500HP engine on it at Bovington

Gunjob calling for us
Well i don’t know what else it could be
On the old forum it was said to get a new thermal imager (which might be also false as it says it has the uprated engine)
Thermal is from TISP. TBH i dont know if it went anywhere, but cathereine is right there
I assume it will also have the same ERA as the TES with the same botched implementation?
Most likely yes, but turret nera has slat plates. VERY SLIGHT chance it will get Dorch 2I istead of 2H on TES, but i dount it as it would be a much better version sa a prem (Unless the values are the same then idc)
That’s ERA plates mounted onto NERA blocks it’s what the hull side package should also be that’s just encased in a different housing.
They look like normal plates to me but ok
The Challenger 2 just introduced in today’s dev blog is the first Megatron, showed up in 2008. I don’t know the exact year but it also has a picture mounting M2 .50 Cal
So don’t expect CV12-9A or Catherine MP. Actually, new transmission for HAAIP just started testing with second ‘Megatron’ so nowhere OES would have 1500 hp engine and 3rd generation thermal. If there’s source claiming that, than those sources are unreliable

Just to clarify what I meant on my earlier comment about the ch2 gearing, this is what future owners of the OES have to look forward to :
See the jerking during the turns as it can’t decide what gear to be in? See the horrifying speed drop at the slightest turn?
If Gaijin actually spent any time on the ch2 and fixed these issues, it would be a much, much better tank but I expect the new tank to be even worse.
For reference, this is the t-72AV
And this is the challenger ds
Quite frankly, these tanks implementation is shameful. It gets even worse when it’s a premium. That they have the gall to release a tank performing like that as a premium speaks volumes. If they fix it because of the premium, that’s almost worse.

How heavy is that thing. Looks like it’s about to break the suspensions
Around 75t 74,7t<
There’s no point in l28. What we need is for l27 to get it’s better performance !!

You know, that it will be years before it happens. Just give L28 with higher pen values
