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

Last time Cr2 driver optic stopped shell please

I wasn’t talking about challengers optics of course, this new one my be as effective as the russian ones

loaders hatch is far more substantial, plus a possible mount for a RWS?

Whewre do you see RCWS mount? In base Cr2 Enforcer replaced loader periscope

just guess work, there’s a bare pintle mount here:
CR3 pintle
that’s why I had a question mark after it
