On the boats of course :) probably HMS Sutherland like the 40mm + LMM was

We will make a suggestion for Sutherland with both of them on :D

Supacat with Dragonfire as the UK’s next top tier AA?

A couple other angles but it’s difficult to see detail in any of them

Im interested in the gunner auxiliary sight. It is bigger and looks simmilary to the driver camera.
it might get the same thermal overlay as the driver

When Challenger 3 (P) was unveiled a couple of months ago, I was worried about its looks because it looked kinda awkward xD

But it was just because it was still missing lots of things. Because this… this is the hottest tank I’ve seen in a while. Jesus… LOOK AT THAT!

I am somewhat convinced, that there is a design criteria for British vehicles just to look… good.

But for some reason they also have a criteria to keep the same hull…
I know it will not be as severe in normal usage of cr3, but that weakspot

extremely unlikely to be hit irl

I know it, but still, keeping things like driver weakspot and giant lfp (we will see how EPSOM will preform) limits its usage in scenarios where hull is exposed.

To be fair, that’s hardly a weakspot in real life hahah

Remember that, in real life, there’s no “down the barrel” aim, pixel hunting and these tanks are meant to fight from 1,000-3,000m away, not peeking around corners in a city, hahahah.
