What is? That a prototype has its mock up armor?

Clearly a marketing lie :P
Yeah, something for 9.7 would be nice, but I don’t think the Chief 900 is gonna be able to fill that niche.
The Olifant Mk.2 fills the 9.3 spot almost perfectly for my tastes, but without the Khalid the 9.3 line-up is kind of lacking another decent MBT for players that want to bring multiple mediums.

OR, in the case of Genisenau, they skipped over half of the rebuild it was supposed to recieve when it was going to get its 15inch guns, including the replacement of its secondary armament with a bunch of Dual purpose twin 128 Turrets ripped from disused Destoryers. A TURRET TYPE THEY EVEN HAVE MODELED IN GAME
I mean, compared to the other british meduims its practically a light tank.
But eh, at the end of the day theres really no point, gaijin will put it where gaijin wants, i just hope its 9.0 so i can free ace the crew before it gets shafted. Ive free aced all the chieftans except the mk10 which id like to finish along side this new one.
So, based on that brochure, we are getting better ammo than mentioned, but no Chobham, which is mentioned
This smells an awful lot like the Challenger 3 TD situation

Idk if you missed it, but DevilO6 posted a later brochure for it that advertised APFSDS:
As for the armour, again it was advertised but not fitted

Wait, that one mentions a laser warning device lol
Man, now I want a full package Chief 900
Advertised APFSDS, after it was already passed on by the British army.
if this thing gets APFSDS, the VFM-5 gets it thermals. That Simple. If a brochure is all they need to give a tank a round its too old to use in the configuration they modeled it in. Then they can do the same to the VFM-5.
The key words are “are available” unfortunately
How so ? the Chieftain mk3 and 5 have less armour yet it is a slight bit faster.
12.0 lol
Im in the process of getting them spaded TBH man, took a break from acing crews to getting isreal to 11.3 as well as the leo2PSO etc so taking out the chieftains will be fun for me.
yeah said dart would be an L23A1 not an L23 which never existed.
I mean the chieftains could fire L15A5 which should be close to what we get from the L23 in game rn
This tank should also have thermals as it is advertised that they can be fitted per what a nation requests.
Yeah, but L15A5 is already in game, as Copy and paste garbage from L15A3, its on the Shir 2.
Man, why does Gaijin always have to cheap out with these tanks
They really are going for the Poundland Chief 900 when we could be getting a Tesco Chief 900
No mater what. The Chieftain 900 cant be given only APDS. That would kill it.

Hell no? its legit just a fast Chieftain mk3/mk5. No composite armor. Stick it at 9.0, properly model L15A5 with its around 350mm of Flat pen. and off we go.
I am well aware it is man, I have since day 1 complained like hell about it.
i think we may have come across each other actually whilst I was complaining about hte 15A5 being identical
Not a sainsburys’ one?
Have you used the L15A3? / 5 if it got the correct L15A5 it would still be on par with the L23
It wouldn’t kill it at all.
May put it to a BR it actually should be though, same as the Shir 2 it shouldn’t even have L23 or L23A1 the tank was discontinued about 5 years before the dart existed.
Exactly!! it would be a fantastic 9.0!

Nah, not even the Snail could afford that. Can’t have air conditioning and the laser warning device.

I’ve had APDS just do bugger all damage so often, that Id probably not play it at all if it didnt get APDSFS.
L23 is better than APDS option imo
