But who am i to know?

I think the most important part is mantlet, I hope gaijin could buff it

Ignoring the fact they kind of threw Fireball report to the bin and went with WE WILL FIGURE SOMETING OUT i wonder

" the protective size of the mantlet may increase." emmmmmmm…

a key word

lol

if more people buy the oes they will buff it

If I’d bought the OES, I’d be asking for a refund after that devblog.

so the cr3 turret has space for 15 shells, do the rest of shells go into armored bins like the cr2 or where are they held?

This is the thing nobody knows where the other shells go the current placement is assumption by gaijin

yes but right now where do they go? in x-ray all i see is 2 bins next to the driver 1 on each side. is that where theyre stored?

CR2 and CR3 ammo stowage are entirely different due to the change from 2 part ammunition to 1 part ammunition.

Ok, give us that APS and all the other upgrades then, THEN we will consider it Challenger 3 name worthy.

Yes, it is.

It also doesn’t mention any automotive upgrades (as such it confirms the 1500hp engine the vehicle has in game is fantasy), only mentions;

  • lethality (L/55A1)
  • surveilence & acqusition (FCS w/auto-tracking and C4I)
  • protection (in regards to the turret)

Aside from those 3, future growth (but it doesn’t specify what kind)

if these are ammo bins shouldnt they be 25mm like the charge bins in cr2?

It has only got a 1327 hp engine in-game, which is in line with what the Hussars put on twitter which stated that the maximum uprating was to 1350hp without a redesign to the engine bay/powerpack to provide the proper cooling for the 1500hp engine.

IIRC all CR2’s driving around today are around 1350hp as they received that uprating although given 1327 is close to 1350 I presume that its some sort of installation factor like installed power on aircraft.

EDIT: I stand corrected it is 1500hp spaded which would seemingly be incorrect but someone more informed than me can make that judgement.

I stand corrected, I didn’t realise the difference was that big. So theoretically the power rating should be going down?
