Is this the LEP or the CLIP?
Well, from the practical point of view they are the same thing (we get 2019 propositon)
As in the dev blog: “Moving to hull and armor which remains virtually identical to the Challenger 2”
Wellp so no fixed armor
Yea, i just hope the things like trunnion pins and mantlet armor are there
LEP the CR3 prototype
Does this mean we get another Cr3 in the future with the trophy? Or could we push for a trophy modification on this one as seen at DSEI in London
We will get the production one. It will have new internal armor farnham and new turret design with trophy integrated in it
What changed with the turret design?
no idea the first new turret “citadel” was only completed a few months ago
We do not know it yet. It was not shown yet, if it even exist rn and is still not on the drawing board
best info i can find
So then why not just give the prototype trophy since we already saw a trophy fit on it?
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 ??
