Official UK DoD image:

This prototype of the Challenger-3, along with further prototypes to follow close behind, will soon show their capabilities on trials. During the trials the prototypes will be tested under operational conditions to validate their performance and make refinements before another 140 are built and delivered to the British Army.

The Challenger 3 platform will be fitted with a new 120mm L55A1 smoothbore gun built by Rheinmetall, enabling the use of the most advanced ammunition available. Next Generation UK-sovereign modular armour, a fully digitised turret and integration of Trophy Medium Variant APS onto the platform will protect against rocket propelled grenades and anti-tank missiles and provide the British Army with a step change in war-fighting capability.

All good choices.

For me, it’s one of the Dommions (hopefully Canada) I want to see most.

Tho other trees I want are Benelux, Poland/Czechoslovakia, and something for Brazil.

Lots of tanks have lights.

One of the most useless things for War Thunder but I wish the lights worked.

Being able to turn them on, on my Sherman or Panzer IV would be funny.

“What is the make and model of the car that hit you?”

" Uh… Challenger 2 Main Battle tank…"

“…”
