Challenger 3 MBT - Technical Data and Discussion

Wrong clicked

Has anyone managed to find out what autoloading system was in use on the 130mm test bed all I could find was it’s a new Rheinmetall auto loader but can’t find any details beyond that

Probably similar to that of the KF-51, besides that🤷‍♂️

Should be the KF51 one yeah.
They where developed together.
The interview talked about it as well

Note its not as simple as this. Thats the number of trophy MV kits being purchased, not the number of APS kits that may be in use, given the actual system being used on CR3 and likely whatever AFV we end up with… will be using MIPS. Would recommend reading the TheOtherChris thread on MIPS:

I really hope we see this thing in game one day. I already like the CR3 TD, so I look forward to the full prototype. It just looks cool.

Why is RBSL posting AI images of their own tank… it isn’t real

The breach area and lower front plate looking changed from prior 3TD press shots they cooking something up

I also want to say the UFP has changed to but could be camera angle

hmm, I tool I find pretty reliable doesn’t think its AI

Sightengine results

It 100% looks off though, doesn’t have the turret side ERA thats clearly visible, and the cmd sight is just gone.

I wonder if it’s a really bad AI upscale?

gawd I hate all this AI crap I wanna be able to trust people

It literally has 4 road wheels, it’s just an awful AI attempt at upscaling which has completely remade the tank

The gun is also like half the length it should be, I can’t tell if you guys are joking or not lmao

Those tools are just snake oil. This is clearly an AI edit and no one looked too closely at the mangled CR3 and just posted it.
