theres nothing concrete on it, and irl we know the CR2 has the same turret rotation speed as tanks like Leopard 2, M1 Abrams, Leclerc, ect its just gaijin refuses to acknowledge it.

Do we really know that though?
i thought we concluded that Gaijin was correct with their current turret rotation speed
to my understanding i thought it was “correct” but also incorrect as ive seen sources state it can do the 40/s, but its restricted in peacetime for maintinence.
i may be entirely wrong there but thats my understanding of it.
Yes it uses Curtis wright TDSS, same system as on Ajax.
Would this give it confirmed better turret traverse?
Confirmed, I guess not, but assumed yes.
Well thats good to know, thanks for the info.
I’ve seen some videos of the Ajax’s turret traverse and it seems very fast.

I like the part where it says in germany :P
Source?
Because numerous sources as well as video evidence shows it doesn’t.
My mistake, i thought it was 40/s tbh.

Video is not sped up for sure, and if you take away speeding up and braking time you get 9s.
And no, it is not proof at all.
guys lets go, make bug reports of it!
Then again, we’re running the CV-126a at 1200hp (reduced in peacetime for maintenance) when it can be uprated to 1500 (the challenger 3 literally does this)
No it runs at 1,200 hp because that is all the power pack was designed to produce. The new CV12-9A variant includes various improvements which in theory allow it to produce 1,500 hp by itself. However the power packs cooling system isn’t good enough to let the engine run at that rating.

PS reminder that the MT883 works in the same way. It’s variable 1200-1500.
Abrams was trialed with the CV-12-6a uprated to 1500.

I’m not sure what you think this proves. Notice the 1,000 - 1,500 hp bit?
The CV12-9A is one component of the CR2/3 HAAIP powerpack and as I said it can be run at various power ratings up to 1,500 hp. However the Challenger 2 power pack cannot provide adequate cooling for the CV12-9A to be used in it’s 1,500 hp configuration; so when it is installed in the power pack it runs at 1,200 hp.
Here’s what the Minister of State for Defence Procurement said:
There is however talk that they might be able to run the CV12-9A at 1,350 hp without having to do a major rework of the cooling system.
Just because the 9a can be run up to 1500 does not mean the 6a cannot. What Exactly did it change apart for cooling?
I’m fully aware cooling is what limits it to 1200. I literally said it’s reduced in peacetime.
The possibility for a larger turbocharger was mentioned earlier in this thread, but unsourced and disagreed upon.
It’s not reduced to 1,200 hp for peacetime, it’s rated at 1,200 hp all the time.
The CV12-9A has a new fuel system and a new engine control system.
Fair enough.
On another note, how come the challenger 3 in game currently has worse protection than the challenger 2 in all regards?
