There we go.
Was pointed out to me that the Chieftain 3 and 5 have optical rangefinder modifications. These don’t exist on these vehicles (also the FV4202). So:

Yup they infact never had these and I argued once they did, and was catagorically wrong. they went straight from ranging gun to LRF :D
Would be funny of them to remove the range finder from the mk5 but still refuse to give it lrf despite all mk5 standard chieftains having them.

It physically can’t be a Mk5 without the barr and Stroud tank laser sight and muzzle reference. All they need to do is enable LRF and replace the barrel on the model with the one from mk10/900 and it would be near enough bang on
It can, the first chieftain mk5s rolled out the factory without the barr and stroud, but only for about 3 motnhs I think of production, the issue is they then get redesignated.
So technically the chieftain Mk5/1 I think it was,( @Jarms tends to know the designations better than I do) came out the factory without a laser range finder, but was quickly changed to it.
as well as the muzzle reference I don’t think that was added until a decent little bit after the LRF.
though what we have in game is not a Mk5 by any standard now.
Don’t give em ideas mate.

Don’t know if these have been posted here before but spotted these from a cut in half Al khalid
Looks like effective thickness in some places should be around 17 inches on the upper glacis plate

It’s actually thicker than the one in game

That’s what I thought
It matches the foundry report that I found.
The Chieftain 900 is the only chieftain with correct armour though:

How much less armour do all the others have? Also I appears there is a spall liner or something on the inner side of the UFP but not sure
The others are missing about half of their armour.

OOF quite the difference then how comes they got it so wrong
Looking at the 900 now myself I don’t think it’s correct either only providing around 220mm head on

It’s based on the real foundry inspection sheet.
Gaijin seemed to have used the lowest allowable value instead of the highest lol.

Shocking right
So wait, the mk3, 5 etc etc are all about what? half of what they should have compared to IRL?
