If we cant have the cobaham armor coud we at least get the concreat they filled the mock up with
Sadly I can’t see any of the images on that post but I’ll take your word for it, even so, it should have the ballast modelled at least.
That would pair very well with the Tornado F.2 and its Blue Circle “Radar”
Mods please delete this poll if not permitted in this thread, but I think that the company needs feedback on this topic.
Would you like to see Chieftain 900 introduced as it was built - with no Chobham armour, or as it was marketed - with Chobham armour?

Im saying with composite.
Gaijin have already set the precedent by adding the MSC with composite and it would make the tank a lot more unique.

I’d happily see it come as a Premium, but the composite armour is integral to the design. Otherwise it’s just a Mk 5 wearing a costume.

Oh, okay. Now let’s wait for the game’s birthday event, and if the prediction comes true and there’s XF5U as a prize, then we’ll see if the snail installs machine guns in it, which have never been installed there before.
Or “this is something else”? And “historicity is for whom it is needed we want historicity.”

It hasnt got as much power as a perkins CV12 so it’s mobility won’t be on par, it will be slightly better than a Mk5 but sacrifices the stillbrew of the mk10. I’f it isn’t 9.0 if be shocked as it is the perfect in-between of Mk5 and Khalid
Why would it be 9.0?
It has marginally worse mobility than a khalid, same round, reload and tech , as well as it has the “steel” armour added in.
It’ll be a minimum of 9.3.
It has the same ammo as a khalid, slightly worse mobility but the same everything else and marginally better armour.
I bet it’ll be 9.3 minimum
What is? That a prototype has its mock up armor?
to outsider like me, it looks like a solid gap filler for that 9.3-10.0 gap. so kudos for filling the gaps! much appreciated! (3rdrankscoutforgermanypls)
Marginally worse?
It has 300 less horsepower and a noticeably lower top speed. The reverse speed will be much worse I imagine.
It also wont get the improved gun handling of the Khalid
I hope its 9.0 for a period, wouldnt mind it to bolster the 9.0 lineup some more.
the chieften is 9.0 and while it doesnt get an engine upgrade it does get armor, so im hoping that because this gets a slightly better engine but no armor itll be a trade off. Its has what, 150 more HP than the chiefseven
I really want it to be 9.0 maximum to keep it out of the supermassive black hole that is the 10.3 russian premium spam.
Is 10.3 bad?
How is it noticeably slower its 4kph slower.
Assumed it would as the Shir 1 is based on the MK5 as this is.
However that still isn’t going to being it down to 9.0 , it’s a distinct upgrade over the mk10 bar the rather dubious lack of dorchester.
I believe it should get the L23A1 round. And it’s chobham and move up.
Or lose the L23 round get a rectified L15A5 and go to 9.0.
I think 9.0 is good for it because it can provice an alternative playstyle to the chieften. If you want to play slow and hull down take the chieften, if you want a more mobile but less armored chiefseven then you take the chief900 out

9.3+ gets hoovered up into it constantly, yeah. :(
I can’t see it happening.
It receiving L23 combined with the extra mobility and even steel armout will put it to 9.3
Wish they would go the full way and make it 9.7/ 10.0
Or at least leave it so it can be 9.0
