Wait DM83?? Is that the NATO/ geman designation for KE2020NEO?
I will say, after playing the Merkava Mk 3B, 3C, and Ra’am. I think I’d prefer the Challenger 3TD in theory. The TD has armor, gun depression, similar mobility (maybe worse neutral steering speed), and a better reverse speed. However, I’m not sure if the Chally 3TD has a worse turret traverse & gun elevation speed or not. But that might change my stance a bit.
I’m convinced the Merk Mk 3 series are probably the worst set of 11.0+ below 12.0 BR tanks. Can’t stop DM33, or even DM13 reliably. Whereas the Type-90 has some kind of armor, better mobility, vastly better reload speed, better reverse, etc. The TD has the advantage in Pen, Versatility on Terrain, & Armor at least.
All of what they’d need to do for the Chally 3 TD is simple.
Chally 3TD Revamp (from easiest to most time consuming imo):
• Easiest is an aced reload buff to 5 - 5.3 secs.
• Give the engine 1217hp, or just up it to the proposed 1500hp as they don’t have an issue with adding vehicles/prototypes with fictional attributes lol (E-100, Yak 141, etc).
• DM63/DM73 (so that you don’t need blowout panels). DM73 might have improved ballistics, so being that it’s a weak tank that can be justification for it. Not sure how easy it would be to model an ammunition propellant that won’t explode without them messing things up…
Now for the Optional stuff they might not go the extra mile on but might help:
• Turret rotation speed increase (it’s been supposedly bug reported to be too slow).
• Maybe throw in the improved Mantlet scheme that people have bug reported for a while now.
Overall, it’s simple changes that can make the tank worth playing over other Challengers. And even changes that can be made to other Challenger 2s. It’s just a matter of preoccupations with other tasks, and sheer laziness. But most of everything mentioned that didn’t have to do with armor or ammunition should be easy.

CR3 is fine. Has the best KD of all the Challengers i played and i played all of them. Like i said everything in this game plays the same way anyway except if it has some kind of quirk.
