UK don’t use short tons, only long tons and metric tonnes.

Yea, i added UK there for some reason, thanks for pointign that out

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

Dont the US trophy using abrams use both trophy and NERA side armour together?

yes but i think moving forward theyll want to do the same setup as uk.

as good as the bradley has been doing in ukraine its starting to show its age.

also the US as so many abrams they can just use them as recon lol

They are getting a new bradley with iron fist aps

watch them take a couple of months to fix lol

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

Deffo a new engine then, given what he said @ 2:28
sidenote the lil window wipers are adorable and I kinda want some

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

Europower pack wouldn’t require major hull modification they could’ve done that

the issue with the engine is that the reduction in size is very significant, which means the engine would wobble around the tank and even if you just put something like holders, also that would make the usage of space inefficient when you could put more fuel tanks or in the case of britain, 2 XL tea kettles!, but, apart from jokes, even the leopard whose engine compartment is smaller required a heavy modification.
