also new driver periscope has a “thermal fusion” type camera which can overlay hotspots, pretty funky stuff for a driver, then imagine for gunner n commander
I just hope they cover more of the total frontal surface of the turret with armour instead of only 1/3 of the total frontal crosssection with armour and the rest is forehead
the cr3 turret doesnt have that top incline the cr2 does. we have allready seen the turret without the roof armour and its straight.
Spoiler
Wow, that looks so weird
oh it will, btw dont even worry about protection much, stuff like AMAP n current armor from RBSL can are about 1.5x-2.5x better than RHA for KE, when compared to usual dorchester its a huge improvement, then you also consider the new ufp addon plate/composite + new lfp composite block with close performance and we can guess the challenger 3 will have armor compared to the leopard 2a7v without any OES kits (outside of the lfp addon comp block)
When the CR3 was first announced and revealed I was worried it would be the typical upgrade for the CR2 and little would change but I’m glad there is something being done instead of wasting millions on pounds on a CR2 with slightly better armour, transmission and a new sight layout. I am proud of what has been done so far

If you ever trust the UK gov to know what the hell they are talking about you’ve made a fatal error.
i mean, cr2 didnt get 1500hp uprate because of its gearbox and suspension, which have been upgraded in the challenger 3 for the 1500hp demand. soooooo. (quoted from Chobham Armour Cold War British Development
then you also consider the one that said 1500hp is someone much closer to the army and tank development (account runner was from Queen’s Royal Hussars regiment) while other was just your avg government guy
Not the big forehead CR3
its not even using its own damage model rn, you can see how sloppy it is
Do we know if Gijin is considering adding the new mode of the CR3 with the APS that was shown in that presentation with spalliners and blow oit panels and other things the CR3 TD is missing ?
CR3 TD shown as installing Trophy APS is indeed mock-up Trophy MV, which is known as not chosen for real CR3, so low possibility it seems.

another “showoff” cr3 atd would bad to introduce into the game, for all we know it only used ballasts instead of actual armor (thats also why the “underside” of the cheeks arent covered)

same applies to cr3 130mm (the guys that did it only had a week to put the 130mm and put the addon plates, no time to put neither 130mm autoloader neither actual addon comp)
also are we fully sure that the CR3 will not have an engine upgrade?
My lawyer strongly advised me against commenting on that topic (i did either way)
