That is why i told UK based. 2E was an export variant. And i simply never found a info about normal Cr2 mounting .50 without Enforcer, as enforcer started getting deployed on most Cr2.
It was more like giving loader ability to use the mg without endangering, and providing additional awareness with independent tv/ir camera

Ah… I think this is going to be one of those situations where it probably could but never did due to circumstance and therefore will be denied because of that. Its stupid. Im sure if they needed to deploy with a 50 cal on the roof, they would have done, probably just that hte 7.62mm was better suited for its role
On my PC i have a great amount of data about Enforcer, and even offcial brochure stated it can have 50 cal. So i tried to make a suggestion, but it got denied and im yet to get a answear why. I will try making it once more, but now i will try to add a history tab to it (that is like the only thing that was missing from normal suggestion, i deemed it not needed, and let me tell you, it is hard to find a history about a remote weapons station).
I have some pics of enforcer with 50 cal mounted so they were used, just not on the normal mounts

Perhaps it was the weapon selection on it. Perhaps try again but just for 50 cal (+ Enforcer) for all
Will try. Also i found not a single photo with 40mm agl, i wonder if it even existed
The problem with enforcer for all is. I know all Cr2 can mount it, if somone does research they will know too, but there is no way to prove it (for example base Cr2 that later got upgraded to 2f standard mounted enforcer. It is the same tank, so base 2 could have it, but it never did. Same BN and 2E. They are the same tank, inside the turret there is enough space to place control unit, and station can be mounted as loader periscope is the same, but they did not get them irl, so i cant prove it) :/
Yeah, gunna be the biggest problem with it. Each tank is a response to a specific conflict. No doubt they could be configured for what ever the need might have been, unfortunately for us, that appears to have mostly been the 7.62mm, even with the Enforcer on the TES probably because of a “measured response” mentality. At minimum though, the TES could at least get 50 cal
Isn’t that image just an MG3 machine gun?

Yeah, from what i’ve ready it could be fitted with a 40mm Grenade launcher too
From what i found about the image it is an 40mm agl, but if it is true i have no idea
Yes it could, i have a Selex brochure on my PC and it states so. Also it shows that mgs we have now have half the ammo count in a single belt of what it should have.
That specific image definitely looks like an MG3 to me:

Guess im happy for nothing. But seriously, how does that Agl looks?
This is the 40 mm grenade launcher used by the UK. So presumably the vehicle mounted version is pretty much the same:
