The picture I’ve seen it has stillbrew. You’re hte first person I’ve seen say otherwise TBH
Its 100% a vehicle without stillbrew.
The Smoke launchers were mounted further Forward in the Stillbrew Equipped vehicles. You can see the mounts for them on the Above picture,

Sweet man, then it could of been a mk9 then as a test?
if it was thermal imager testing it’s not far of the late 70s / 80s no?
The TOGs system (atleast from my research) first started production in 1975.
And started being fitted to the Chieftains the same year Via Totem Pole. But im not 100% on that, Id have to do more digging.
it would make sense for the Chieftains to get Thermals that early, Atleast some of them. Considering the TTS M60s were produced in the same era.

Aye that’s what I was thinking so if it was in production 75, on the chieftain by about 78. so could be a mk9 or so?
Also we really need the armour changes on them to roll from the Chief 900, I just got one tapped at about 800 meters by a bulldog through the UFP
TF is that man xD a 76mm shell clean through
If i had to GUESS, only Chieftains in Continental Europe were fitted with them that early, Outfits like the Berlin Brigade and such, and they only started appearing on mass later in life.
Its the same as the very scarce Info on the Chobham armor war kits that were produced for the Chieftains, And were stored in Europe. If the Cold War Went hot the Berlin brigade were the first line, to keep the soviets at bay, and allow the other outfits to get their war kits fitted, as it took upwards of 12 hours to fit the Kits.

This I didn’t know about, a whole 12 hours to fit the kits??
But yeah I get what you mean the better kit going to frontline brigades so they’ve a better chance at holding for longer.
Also not gonna lie, they really need to nerf APHE xD an AMX90 whatever the crap just shot me clean into the thicker frontal / side part of the turret and cut clean through nuking the entire crew.
How tf did it kill the driver is beyond me
You think thats bad.
that was a Tiger II.
That i somehow NON PENNED THE TURRET OF, DESPITE HITTING THE FLAT 185MM PLATE.
And of course it was a Console player… i really am staring to notice they get some very favorable RNG and such.

German tanks get such BS they survive so much they just shouldn’t xD
I shot a leopard 1 the other night with a 120MM apds through the turret and out the back and somehow did nothing?
I do not really understand why the MK5 can’t get a LRF and stay at 8.7 when there’s the likes o fhte redstar at 8.3 lol
Lol
jhust lol
It did not.
The TOGS uses the TICM II thermal imager, of which the first prototype examples were produced around 1980, with series production only begining in 1982.
So TOGS cannot have been in production / service in 1975, when the type of imager it used didn’t even exist until the 1980s.
Im starting to think there is some fuckery going with the Chieftains because i just found a Shot of the Internals of the a Chieftain Mk10 with a L11A3 gun, Which a Mk10 shouldn’t have. They had the L11A5, for APFSDS or it SHOULD atleast.
EDIT: and another Mk10 with a L11A3…

Really? I mean we had so many variants brought up in standards is it possible things were overlooked?
