if more people buy the oes they will buff it
If I’d bought the OES, I’d be asking for a refund after that devblog.

so the cr3 turret has space for 15 shells, do the rest of shells go into armored bins like the cr2 or where are they held?
This is the thing nobody knows where the other shells go the current placement is assumption by gaijin
yes but right now where do they go? in x-ray all i see is 2 bins next to the driver 1 on each side. is that where theyre stored?
CR2 and CR3 ammo stowage are entirely different due to the change from 2 part ammunition to 1 part ammunition.
Ok, give us that APS and all the other upgrades then, THEN we will consider it Challenger 3 name worthy.
Yes, it is.
It also doesn’t mention any automotive upgrades (as such it confirms the 1500hp engine the vehicle has in game is fantasy), only mentions;
- lethality (L/55A1)
- surveilence & acqusition (FCS w/auto-tracking and C4I)
- protection (in regards to the turret)
Aside from those 3, future growth (but it doesn’t specify what kind)
if these are ammo bins shouldnt they be 25mm like the charge bins in cr2?
It has only got a 1327 hp engine in-game, which is in line with what the Hussars put on twitter which stated that the maximum uprating was to 1350hp without a redesign to the engine bay/powerpack to provide the proper cooling for the 1500hp engine.
IIRC all CR2’s driving around today are around 1350hp as they received that uprating although given 1327 is close to 1350 I presume that its some sort of installation factor like installed power on aircraft.
EDIT: I stand corrected it is 1500hp spaded which would seemingly be incorrect but someone more informed than me can make that judgement.
1327 stock
spaded
I stand corrected, I didn’t realise the difference was that big. So theoretically the power rating should be going down?
The 9a was supposed to be 1500 and TD is flying in the what if scenario, so it is kept at 1500
I suppose that means it offers something making it a bit more widely removed from the other variants so good to see nonetheless.
1350 is the current possible rating given the upgrades carried out under HAAIP, for 1500hp they’d need a significant overhaul that includes a rail injection (which isn’t included in HAAIP afaik) as well as much stronger cooling, so at best you’d have 1350hp (twitter isn’t really a source, seeing as Gaijin had rejected Bundeswehr’s very own website… then again they do whatever they like).
However, as that stand from DSEI 2021 states, there was no automotive upgrades carried out on that TD what’so’ever (or else there’d be a mention of them), therefore as of today, Challenger 3 TD has fantasy engine power, afaik 2019 DSEI also made no mentions of automotive upgrades (not sure after which the in-game one is modelled).
