The turret top already slopes behind the mantlet front on chally 2. Heres a rough cross section:
and at 20°

Yeah it does but not to the extremes of this tank, you can see with the angle its descending it will be deeper
You can see the roof on the classic chally 2 angles down and meets flush with the other parts of the turret and sits just above the gun shield.
On the chally 3 the area above the gun isnt in line with the rest of the turret, its descending
You can see a noticeable gap behind it here too, Sure chally 2 had a gap around the edges too but You can see the turret roof from behind it
Terrible drawing But it almost feels like this, although my dimensions are most likely off
(without the cheek armor, the citadel cheeks are shaded)
Probably the new ammo storage and maybe blowout pannels?
Yeah, looks alot bigger, all i can say this turret looks alot more complex than you could tell at first glance
Has anyone else noticed how rushed into the game the TD seems?
the damage model and the actual model don’t even line up properly
can i intresst you in a tank called the Type 10?
Yep it sure is, give them up to a year and it will be done
It’s almost funny just how bad it is, the angle on the turret cheeks is straight up just wrong, on Xray it uses the same turret model as the Chally 2 but with the whole new turret design on the main model
it’s actually insane how much they don’t line up
“everything else, except the turret ring, is brand new”
“a network enabled, digital main battle tank” i wish gaijin would implement this, for example, lasing a target gives other cr3 info on theyr position like the scout or the drone spoting
the flat top in the mantlet area may be hiding a plate on the inside, you can actually see something white connecting there
Spoiler
Because the entire turret was a mess, it was impossible to properly place the L55A1 without modifying the original CR2 model
this really isn’t what I was talking about, the actual Xray model of the NERA and internal components don’t even match up with the new turret at all and it’s just funny how bad it is
It should have its own DM sure, but… since RBSL confirmed the protection levels on the CR2 LEP turret (what we have in game) are the same its largely immaterial. You’re not missing out on any added protection.
Hopefully when the DM is refactored as per the blog the CR3TD will get its own one just for the sake of it not being a 1:1 copy of the CR2.
I made a rough giff just to better visual show how bad it is

Could, i wanna see a top down view of this thing. Then we can get a better look at it
As i said prior this turret looks very simple at a first glance
lol im keeping my hopes up but…
I wonder about the mantlet armour, as Cr3 has Leo like flat block that attaches it to the turret, unlike Cr2 that has a rotor.
Judging By first impressions I would say improved, The whole turret Looks thicker
Maybe more like a Leopard 2 structure
