just guess work, there’s a bare pintle mount here:
that’s why I had a question mark after it
thats for base gun, 7.62, 12.7, 40, not the whole RCWS, it would be too heavy to be held by something like that
Is this challenger 3 or another tech demonstrator / prototype?
Cr3 proto (2024)
It’s looking very strange.
they basically did the same thing they did with the challenger 2, new turret, same hull
Preferred this one ngl, MOD better make the right choice.

Sorry to say this, but it is not a choice. It sailed long ago, it just serverd as a demonstrator of a 130 autoloaded gun. Base is a 2019 Cr3 TD with 130 autoloader and additonal armour

Project has already failed the drip procurement process.
i can see the 200mm gun shield from here
also the entire breach is somehow just worse looking than on the TD
why the hell are those edges welded upwards

They will put something like the TOGS on top of it?
Nope, no need as TVD is integrated into the sight
hmmm, just to look silly then
common sense but no apparently not. that said i wouldn’t be entirely surprised if that idea gets slapped on.
this really is quite the weakspot
but the nobs might indicate there is some sort of add on armor to further protect it
The issue is probably the drivers hatch and turret cheek clearance, I suppose you could place a block Infront and have a cavity. But the whole point was not to change the hull structure too much
It’s to hide the fact its a cardboard cut out
