Challenger 3 MBT - Technical Data and Discussion

As cursed as it would be, this turret on a Leo 2 hull (with the armour add-on) would be pretty good.

CR3 edit
maybe this? don’t forget this is without the cosmetic elements or full protective housings

new storage solutions look wierd (kinda looks like the entire rear is becoming a ammo rack like on abrams)

Nah, the thing on top is APS mount

Rivets all over the turret bringing back that WW2 British tank aesthetic

that looks like a nice shot trap where you can overpreassure
also i wonder what the “panels” on the turret cheeks are

The things you’ve circled as rivets aren’t rivets that’s the pins used to secure the composite armour array. Same pins can be seen in the turret face and mantlet array.

it looks shorter in length

it certainly looks beefier, but still the same hull weak spots?

Yep, LFP and Driver

I get the LFP, but that drivers port weak spot needs to go

Nah, they already installed new periscope so doubt anything will be changed

why don’t they just add a big block of composite that slides forwards and then use cameras to see outside, it’s 2024 surely screen and camera technology has come far enough to do that

The camera is already at the front

Because, according to war thunder, optics are the best armour
