That but with a 1500hp engine i believe
Dang yall getting acitve again after those leaks huh :p
Yeah the same engine from the 2E
Im pretty sure its just the bog standard perkins engine uprated to 1500
Wait, wtf is a Wessex Mk 5 supposed to be
I was just reading about it!!!
Apparently the 1500hp engine is a later addition, from what I can read. However, from all the videos I can find of it, even the most recent ones, it still has the usual Challenger 2 sound, so… I don’t know.
This video is from a year ago, for example, and it still has the Challenger 2 1217hp sound;

Perkins 9a sounds the same as 6a.it is 90% the same engine but with different fuel system
Yep!
As we said, it was the MTU MT 883, or that’s what I can find at least. Challenger 2 Megatron - Fighting-Vehicles.com
I will try to find any video with different engine sound!
If Gaijin is to implement this tank, I hope it is with this engine. Even if it did not retain it, if it mounted it, that should be enough to give the Brits a more competitive tank.

Uprated legit to prepare for a ch3 conversion…
Its like a slightly faster TES not the best addition…
The mtu was just trailed. 6a is the normal powerpack. It was supposed to get 9a but i dont know where it went
So, from what I am understanding- 9A is improved 6A, having similar/identical sound, but 1500hp instead of 1217?
From what ive seens it gonna have an APS it just which one
Also the Cr3 we have now is a prototype. The same hull, perkins 9A with upgrade transmission, and new turret with smoothbore gun. Can also mount trophy APS.
