Challenger 3 MBT - Technical Data and Discussion

It should do

I have a question:
(The Challenger 3 uses a new digital fire control system from Thales UK, consisting of the commander’s Thales Optronics ORION stable independent peri-sighting system, the gunner’s Thales Optronics DNGS-T3 day-night firing thermal sight, a new digital all-electric gun control system, and an improved ballistic computer. The “Orion” vehicle length sight mirror and the DNGS-T3 gun length sight mirror are equipped with Thales “Catherine MP” third-generation thermal imager, the sight line is bidirectional stable, and the fire control has automatic target identification and automatic tracking function, which can provide the vehicle with all-weather and day and night “hunt and destroy” ability.)
How does this new digital fire control and the new digital all-electric gun control system perform exactly the same in the game as the original Challenger 2?

The most obvious point:
The steering speed is 30°
High and low machine speed is 10°
Is this really an upgraded tank?

The demonstrator appears to have the same GCE as Challenger 2, the actual prototypes and CR3 will receive TDSS which should improve turret drive performance

@DevilO6
It seems that the CR3P in the game is missing 3 armor pieces

@Fireball_2020

I estimate the red part is an armored box (hollow inside?), but at least it can provide 30+extra protection

I will be honest, i do not see it, literally. I will be on pc soon, then i will look around.

I mean, from what i see at least the side blocks and that bottom thing are there

As for how they are modelled, well

The model is from the base Cr2, so not modelled at all.




This is what it looks like in the game

will gaijin change it?

I mean, it looks fine to me? Im not sure what is the problem here.

No one knows, you can try reporting it

I mean they really need to change it



this armor didn’t make sense at all

AH, you mean the 30. Well good luck changing their mind it is not, We tried. Something might change with the Cr2 blog, but at the current scenario, both Cr2 and Cr3 have 30mm there and they deem it correct

if this armor is hollow, May increase protection by at least 30MM
However,if this is solid, it will add at least 200MM of protection???

I mean, the trunnion itself is missing 150-200mm(Also its positon in cr3 kills me). If it is not deeme hollow, it would be around 100 by me.

I hope the “CR3P” in the game is the one showed in 2019

It probably will, but first it needs to be shown to the public

In fact, the photos we see of Challenger 3 now are all Challenger 2LEP.

about The First CR3 Turret Structure

“Last month, in August 2023, the first CR3 citadel for Prototype 1 (P1) arrived in Telford. This is the steel structure that forms the basis of the first CR3 turret”
