Challenger 3 MBT - Technical Data and Discussion

They could add it to vehicles that need a special type of buff. The Rooikat Mk.1D for example needs a few things changed, the reload is the main problem but another main issue is the round is so bad. When I last played it 6 months ago, the damage was higher and there was more spalling, now I just orange the crew of Leopards when the round goes right next to them, so just new round that is not from the Otomatic.

i wonder if the Challenger 3 will get MIPS sensors for its aps when it gets integrated, as it can kinda bring alot of benefits, mainly being the full integration of the data of it into the fcs (imagine firing a dm11 shell at a incoming kornet/arty round)

A recent article (October 2025) stating that the “increase in engine power from 1,200 to 1,500hp had been announced”, MILMAG were at DSEI so its interesting.

Obviously not confirmation, but the rest of the article seems quite well written so it’s not a bad sign.

Question regarding the Eurotrophy APS, why is it a shotgun-effect APS instead of a single-charge APS like the Iron Fist? Or am I wrong and there are also Euro-Iron-Fist?

Explosively formed projectile vs a launched interceptor.

Yeah, CR3TD hasn’t had LWS in months

It’s one of the many nerfs it has gotten that have rendered it a downgrade to the CR2s most of the time and why we want the CR3(P)

CR3TD is a joke at this point and has been nerfed in to the ground, like if they even gave it a better reload rate there would be a reason to play it

And yet the LWS is still there ))

Hu?

It should not have LWS… It was removed… thats… wierd…

It was removed from the Modifications Screen, thats it, it was never realy removed )))

Yeah, 5 seconds would make it an actual glass-canon sidegrade over the CR2s, especially now its at 12.0 and so you have to uptier yourself to use it

I finished spading it not that long ago (2 months ago at most) it did not have LWS then.

so it must have been re-added recently

I am Currently looking in the Datamines for it

there it comes from (2.50.0.25)

They copied it from the BN over, and forgot to remove the LWS part of it

The lead indicator and programable DM11 rounds are quite nice, I quite often will take the 3TD out as a first spawn because you can kill drones and early heli rushes so easily with it.

But yea the reload nerf “because L55 gun” is stupid, The leo 2a7 gets considerably better mobility and trollier armour with the same reload.

Haha. The devs lazyness knows no bounds
