Where are you getting these from lol

Should these really be posted? Unless it’s from the MOD itself then carry on.

Most can be found on Forces News, I don’t have any concerns here.

If it ends up looking as cool as that I’ll take back what I said about it before.

What that reads to me is “everytime you guys screw up and post things you shouldn’t i get grumpy >:(”

hahaha, will bear it in mind

The British Army’s “Challenger 3” tank model was displayed at the press conference of the new headquarters of the international department of the Rhine Metal Vehicle System in Bristol, England, the Rhine Metal House.

bro killed it 😭 its rheinmetall

That’s a lot of lower plate armour, too bad its only going to be as effective as TES’s LFP block when the CR3 gets added to WT.

The Challengers may only be the best at looking good, and if this is what CR3 is going to look like…

It passes in my book.

LFP is nice no matter what tbh, hopefully it is more effective that the Cr2’s add on.

If you want to see if it looks good we have to wait for a TES/OES standard to be made, thats when the Challengers look the best

It looks like a different model from the one we saw earlier? It doesn’t have the extra plates on the turret cheeks and sides, looks like it doesn’t have the extra UFP add-on either, and it seems to have a different mantlet?

Spoiler


Looks to me like new turret cheek addons, UFP addon (on top of the newer UFP armour), turret side addons and the LFP addon as well. Addons all around.

Also the mounting points for what i presume to be the Trophy APS on the turret corners.

Those things on the corners are the Elbit Laser Warning System (E-LAWS). Same thing is on Ajax
