Challenger 3 MBT - Technical Data and Discussion

I dont think any part of the hull is thicker apart from the upper front plate, which is obviously significantly thicker due to the new armour arrays.

However, those six little circular protruding pieces are new, I wonder if they could be used to mount external armour. They could also be part of the fixings for the new internal armour as they seem to align perfectly with its angle.

Please. Stop overanalyzing everything. Once we will know more we will. Thickness of lift hooks, towing hooks or armour cover is nothing.

old cr2?

It would be nice for us to get the more modern Challenger 2 as seen in the first ingame ingame, mostly because it has that applique UFP armour which could probably make it stop most Russian rounds

Hope to see it with either EuroTrophy or Iron Fist-Light Decoupled (IF-LD) for the production variant. The IF-LD would probably be the most effective in-game as seen on the Black Knight compared to the Merkava IVM.

judging by the sight and the side of the turret, yes

Oh my God it’s SO CUTE!

Some more images from DVD '24. Showing the back of the turret and ELAWS quite nicely

Im still looking for the front ELAWS

Seems they havent worked out a mounting solution for it, i imagine itll probably end up being on some odd little flaps or something on the turret side/roof

the smoke grenade launchers already need to be connected to the tank’s systems, i feel like mounting it near the smoke launchers would be the least intrusive

Cant wait to see some horror flaps on the turret side with the smoke launchers and LWS lol

from the looks of the turret sides they’ll still be looking at this sort of mount for the APS at least

According to the test video released by Rafael and other vehicles with trophy systems installed, this is very likely to be the case.
