@Gunjob

These 2 parts are not even in the model, just visual. The model is mostly c&p from Cr2

I hate to be the bringer on bad news but the gun in that photo im 90% sure is the new rheinmetall 130mm being tested, if you look at the barrel shape its more like the 130


AH the irony

Yeh i noticed that too XD brilliant lmao

Nah, the images are grabbed from a video Rheinmetall posted on LinkedIn about the 120mm for Challenger 3

That’s just what the gun looks like without a fume extractor and thermal sleeve

Ohh really? Fair enough… Probably explains why they claim the tanks are fairly easily upgraded to the 130mm

emmmmmm…

Whats up with it?

According to the video, we can see that the axis is on Mantlet, and the two new armor pieces are used to block the position of the old axis. The defense effect of these two pieces of armor can refer to PT-16

The mantlet armour of Cr3, just like in Cr2 is artificialny nerfed to 200mm to create a weakspot. The fact it is so terribly placed is just lazy design

I report a issue but no people notice that So sad

Should I @ someone¿

You made a bug report? drop it here if you can

Oh that thing, yea its a problem of the model being c&p from Cr2. It should be fixed when the model is finnished.
unless they do it by themselt, the turret needs a report of the model

Only 9 have same issue lol
