Nope, it is already known it will wear a kit named EPSOM, and we saw a few models.

All the weight reduction is going to be negated again.
Well if it’s more NERA it is going to be worthless in game
This big repot is now 9 months old.

What ever happened to the armour buff that was supposed to come in December 2023?

This tank has no hope, less than that.
There is no info on the armour, or the add on armour. Even when this gets released as the final CR3 it’s going to be the same, crap power pack and crap armour (maybe a hull spall liner) but with Trophy and maybe DM 73.
If you mean for the ch2, there was a buff on the dev server, it looked far better, then it was reverted and we got the current implementation.
Who knows why, but it’s still riddled with bugs and issues so it was largely a complete waste of everyone’s time.

It was for the CR2 but the CR3 P (as it was called on the Dev) would have had it by default but it doesn’t matter. Britain is supposed to get a tank with some of best armour in the game yet it’s worse than the Leo 2A5’s armour, it has an average reload but only for 4 rounds, some of the worst mobility at top tier in most models.
The Challenger 2s are overshadowed by most things at or close to top tier, we have to have unique models just remain somewhat competitive e.g. Iron Fist on the Black Knight, Leo 2 power pack and transmission in the CR2E, Rh120 L/55 on the CR3 TD (it’s still a Challenger 2)
Oh, for sure.
Gaijin have done no tank as dirty as they did the challengers. Maaaybe the abrams and it’s outragerous turret ring.
There is zero technical reason to leave these issues outstanding. Zero.
The Abrams still has the 5 second reload for 18 rounds and has a better APFSDS and secondary shell (HEAT MP rather than HESH)
Also the Abrams is more mobile
Nothing crazy, but I haven’t seen this photo of the Chally 3 before, thought I’d share
The turret really is huge, its almost like a Vickers Mk.7

Dementinally the turret roof is actually the same height (2.5m) but the Commanders sight is significantly taller. The turret bustle is only a little longer. We might get a turret stowage basket though, I believe the crew is loosing some stowage to make room for the ammo rack.
As I suspected, no LWS cameras
but they are there

Also no Trophy
trophy’s probs a bolt on optional thing tbh I expect to see it come about when the tank enters its final stages or when the addon armour packages are finalised as its probs apart of some larger war kit
Plus its probs gonna be tested on Le Megatron
Knowing the UK we will have 10 and share them around ha ha
The tank is made to be fitted with Trophy, but not always fitted with it like the merkava
I believe the UK is initially buying 60 trophy systems, which can be fitted to the CR3 whenever they’re needed
They should probably buy a few more though
This is more well hidden than the competent members of the British government
