Jon explicitly claims 72,000kg - 72 metric tonnes - for CR3 in the tweet that I screenshotted and included in my reply
We know the weights of CR2 (none of which are 65t which is bugging me):
Training: 62.5 metric tonnes / 68.9 ST / 61.5 LT
Combat: 64 metric tonnes / 70.5 ST / ~63 LT
Taking the CR3 weight of 66 tonnes at face value, we get 72.75 ST / ~65 LT.
given the army allready pointed out that cr3 will be working side by side with ajax and boxers theres no reason now to put the challenger in a position where it can be flanked.
tes side upgrades were meant to protect inside cities with the lessons learned in iraq. but since ajax and boxers can now use aps theres no reason they cant go there instead of challengers.
not to mention that even outside cities the mod is looking for an aditional number of boxers with close aa support that is very good against drones. they will prolly work with the cr3s all the time mostly
There’s always some vehicle with some sort of armour hole, there’s probably a missing plate/thickness from stuff getting moved around when they did the mantlet
you might like it or not, it has been commented about the new upgraded engine of the challenger 3 wich, solves air filtration and improves overall reliability but sadly its still 1200 HP altough it was talked about maybe changing it to the 1630 HP engine, but it would require heavy hull modification to fit it
