This is the first iteration of the technology demonstrator being implemented
Actual prototype vehicles could be added in the future as their appearance and capability becomes clear next year.
I think it will be changed in the future, to match the protos we will have irl

I have a question about the first version of the challenger 3 Technology Demonstrator, so since it’s armed with the L55A1 and is getting DM53 wouldn’t that mean it should have slightly better performance Vs the normal L55 ??
Nah, L55a1 can withstand higher pressure of Dm73 esplosive
looks like its going to be regular CR2 armour unless someone wants to go to jail. i mean thats what it probably is on the LEP turret but who knows

O I do know that but what I’m looking to know is since we are getting DM53 will we get better performance from DM53 fired from the L55A1 compaired to the L55 ??
No. The 53 does not change the amount of explosive it has. It will be identical
Nah, this will be renamed Technology Demonstrator
Maybe? We will see

Sussy docs, lemme get them

nothing special

L55A1 has higher velocity than the L55. It’s not much higher tbh, but it is enough that there should be a difference between the 2.
Another question: does this mean that it is the first stock Heat FS top tier tank Britian gets? XD can’t wait for the pain

Yes it does, Then again the swedish leopards dont have HEAT-FS so maybe we can be blessed with Stock APFSDS
VFM5 and vicker mk11 have stock HEAT-FS
But they are not top tier tanks, so the opponents they face can be killed with Heat FS easier
Not the gun by itself. The pressure that explosive of Dm73 generate is higher, allowing for higher speed of penetrators. A1 is an upgrade to make is sustain the higher pressure.
