Challenger Mk.1 - "Built for combat, not competitions"

id love to see the very early challenger prototype ATR 1 (aka MBT 80) in the game with the chobham blocks bolted to a poorly cast turret, it looks so awful but intriguing at the same time

Normally I’d say that such an unfinished vehicle shouldn’t be in the game, but then the 292 is driving around with armour-simulating RHA blocks so precedent is there. Personally I’d love to see one of the 7 smooth-turreted CR1 prototypes, Shir 2, or the little-known FV4030/3s which were actually issued to the Army between the two projects (I name these “Shah”, as it’s what an old 17th/21st soldier told me they called them).

Please note, this is neither a Shir 2 nor a Challenger!

maus, fv4004, fv4005 conway and mbt 70 are in game so it would be cool to see the tanks of mbt 80 heritage here too

I accidently clicked no now I feel bad it’s a great tank.

Well now ya do :D

yeah thanks

Seems like a cool addition, out of curiosity do you know if the chase system was added to final chieftain variants like TOGS was?

I can’t find anything right now that suggests the Chase mod was applied to the Mk11, I’ll have to do some research. Good point as if we ever get the Mk11 then that would be important.

Looks like an awesome tank for 9.7.

You mention prototypes didn’t have the TOGS cutout, so would this tank not have the cutout? Because I love the clean look of the tank without the cutout and it would make it look cooler IMO.

Yes seven Challenger prototypes (06SP36 to 06SP42) were produced and they have a really sleek look to them, while I think the Shir 2 or Shah would be more characterful, it would make a decent Premium.

Just came across these, could be useful for a FV4211 suggestion.

Now that we’re getting the Shir 2 I think it’s time they added the Shir 3 to the game in the regular Tech Tree. 10.0 seems like a good BR for it.

Yeah I agree 10.0 would be more suitable.

Would love to see this ingame, I would put this at 10.0 to match the FV4030/3 already in game but at Rank 7. I’d also move the FV4030/3 to Rank 7.
