But that is truck mounted howitzer … not a turreted one, that is preferred in WT.
Well, in WT we have the original G6.
But not the later G6-52/G6-52-ER.
RoF: 8 RPM.
Also, there is alternate variant/upgrade of G6-52: RWG-52
Rheinmetall Wheeled Gun-52. A joint SA-German project. Made for India.
Uses the same G6 hull (OMC 6×6) but a new automated turret featuring Pzh 2000’s L/52 gun. RoF: 6 RPM.
Related to G6-52 is Bhim SPH. A joint SA-India project. Denel T6 turret on an Arjun hull.
T6 is a modified & automated G6 turret with L/52 cannon. RoF: 6 RPM
And if stretched, we can also include bigger boom distant cousin of G6: the Majnoon and Al-Fao.
(Although it’s a joint Iraqi-SA-Canadian-French-German-Spanish project, lol)
spice 250 :electro-optical guided bomb that features a inhouse IIR/CCD seeker
developed by israels manufacturer(rafael) this bomb would be easily implimented to existing platforms we have in the israeli tree such as(f15I,Barak-D,BarakC)
A Chieftain MBT with a rudimentary Chobham set up applied developed some time in the 1970s when the Chobham armor was still top secret and in the testing phase.
A modern Heavy Assault gun that was designed in the 1980s, as a way to make use of the soon to be outdated Chieftain chassis. Fitted with the XL30 Cannon, which would later become the L30 mounted in the Challenger 2s.
Frontal protection was made up of over 700mm of Chobham armor on both the upper and lower plates, with 350mm on the upper sides. Weighing around 30tons, and fitted with the 750hp Leyland L60, the Tank was expected to be FAR faster and more agile than the Standard Chieftains that were closing in on 60 tons plus in their later variants. along with a lengthened chassis with a extra road wheel to compensate for the extra weight on the front from all the extra armor.
The whole idea of this proposal was to have a sort of… Heavy support tank, that would hold back and provide fire support to lighter units, while also providing a target for the enemy to focus fire on.
Interestingly, we do actually know how much Chobham the 4211 was fitted with, Along with a few of the other 1970s War Kit developments that were MADE for the Chieftains, but never saw Service as they were top secret Projects that basically No one even knew existed.
Well, that’s just wrong, FV4211 (Initially the programme was called Chieftain Mk.5/2 to try and hide the project) was a intended to be an interim MBT to bridge the gap between Chieftain and a future more advanced MBT, while reusing as many parts as possible and Chobham armour. The project started in 1969, produced a functioning prototype in '71, and was cancelled in '72 when the UK entered the FMBT programme with Germany.
FV4211 was a completely new design, the hull and turret was all Aluminium as a weight reduction measure to enable the L60 to have some hope of moving the thing, with Chobham providing the vast majority of protection. There is one surviving prototype which was fitted with Chobham and used for automotive trials, and now resides at Bovington. It was shown off to both the XM1 and Leo 2 teams and heavily influenced the development of both.
These are all proposals for FV4211’s Chobham layout, the 1st layout was eventually selected off the top of my head.
I mean, it is a Chieftain upgrade, and so is the CR1. If for whatever reason the CR1 itself never made it past the proposal/prototype stage, we’d probably call it a failed chieftain upgrade program
