KADDB Falcon Turreted Challenger 1

[Vip3r1]

The Falcon turret is a turret system designed by KADDB (King Abdullah Design and Development Bureau) in 2006~, and fitted to a modified Challenger 1 hull. It is a low-profile turret, similar to that of the M1128 MGS’s. The Falcon turret utilizes an autoloader designed to handle 1 part 120mm smoothbore rounds, which are NATO compatible and load them in to the Ruag Land Systems L50 (Length Calibre) 120mm smoothbore Compact Tank Gun.

The increased Calibre Length gives better performance than the L44 used on the Leopard 2 and Abrams’s tanks.

The autoloader can provide a sustained rate of fire of 8 rounds per minute and can hold 17 rounds whilst additional rounds are stored in the vehicle.

I can almost guarentee that it will end up as an event vehicle, it will be quite effective so probably Operation Suffer (SUMMER) or for the winter event.

Its also far interesting to be a Squadron tank.

Yeah… I hate events, especially ground events that must be grinded because they give something cool

I mean we pretty much just received a CR1 event vehicle, I doubt Gaijin will bring this in for an event any time soon.
