Upgraded transmission?

Yes, that is what i meant

Speed or just overall reliability?

hmm?

I mean is the megatron testing this upgraded transmission made the overall speed anybetter or is it still good ol 37mph

No, it changed that it can handle 1500hp

But… the whole point to the 1500 hp was the cooling was rubbish and not enough to cool it … wasn’t it like 1300 with the current cooling…

Well, that was like 3 years ago

Better be fixed, as the ch3 is 100 percent gonna be even heavier then the current one lol

Well, that is why i came with the riddle. I will repeat it. I have some info on the CV-12, but if you knew it you would be mad at the megatron.

Idk how anyone could be mad if the megatron is testing the 1500hp

So it isn’t just the upgraded transmission?

The transmission is upgraded

With more extensive addons than have been shown on the prototype (plus whatever was on the model).

Though iirc isnt the new internal armour and turret supposed to be lighter?

apparently works out about the same after you account for the new ammunition stowage and subsystems

As far as I’m aware the listed weight for the Challenger 3 is 66 tonnes

That’s what is listed on the British Army website, the Challenger 2 has a combat weight of 62.5 - 64 tonnes without added armour

That thing is a speculated weight, it is there for years.

Yet another way in which they neglected Challenger 3 (TD);

They made a new, larger and more detailed L/55-L/55A1 module model which they gave to every Leopard tank…

Yet they couldn’t even bother to copy-paste it into Challenger 33 (TD) lmao

l55

If you are wondering, tne new gun module model is actually a big deal; since it’s much larger, it’s significantly better at catching spall and even absorbing entire shots. But I guess Challenger 3 (TD) could not even benefit from that.

I just made a bug report, but I don’t expect it to get anywhere.
