I had TOTALLY forgot that the 32pounder Centurion was ACTUALLY built, and not just Wargaming making shit up.

I see this will go nowhere.
You wouldn’t happen to know of any pictures of the Churchill the Irish shoved a Comet’s 77mm HV gun into would you?
I will try to find, but i’ve never heard about this before.
Its not very well known about, from what i understand it wasn’t a very successful project, due to the Churchills tiny turret.
But it was attempted, back in the day of World of tanks actually taking SOME historical inspiration they used that Irish Churchill to justify giving the Churchill MKVII the 77mm gun In game.
Australia is using the boxer with lance 2.0 turret Aka not this one
Yeah that one
another one: Rooikat 35-ZT3.
A prototype IFV sort of thing using a 35mm Gun similar to the one used on the ZA-35, with a a tripple launcher for the Tandem Warhead ZT-3 missile.

And the Ho Ri Production never existed… And the Tiger II never got a 105, Only one T-80 had Thermals, the Object 120’s gun never worked, the R2Y2s never existed, the Horton 229 never had Guns, the KIKKA never had guns. the 50mm 262 never flew…
Need i keep mentioning things?
The plan was there. The same as the TTD, both should get their 120s.

would be pretty cool but I can see it never coming to the game unless we see it mounted on a hull
Edit: it was mounted on a truck to show it off, but it only had the HVM system so if we were to get it, it would probably be without the brimstones
Oh God not this again
This isn’t that, im just saying the Challenger 1 and Mk11 Chieftain had the same Bar and Stroud TOG’s MK1 set up.
Atleast when the Challengers WERE fitted with Thermals, alot of them weren’t from what i can find, atleast half the fleet by the time Desert Storm rolled around were still on old school NV systems, instead of Thermal imaging.
Nice list of additions, I thought I’d list a few more as theres actually tons of stuff Britain could get:
- Cheiftain 900
A Cheiftain redesigned with Chobham armour, improved FCS and a more powerful 900hp (or 1000hp) engine. A few prototypes were made and one still exists at bovington.
- FVT925
A Scorpion chassis fitted with a new turret with a 25mm Bushmaster cannon and the option for a TOW launcher.
Fitted to a few different chassis
- Vickers MK.7/2
Very similar to the Vickers MK.7 ingame but with a revised and improved turret with supposedly better armour and slightly differnet optics. The turret was designed to better fit onto the Leopard 2 chassis rather than the original Vickers Mk.7 turret we have ingame which was designed more for the Vickers MK.4 Valiant.
- Vickers Mk.3 N
Similar to the Vickers Mk.3 ingame but with ROMOR ERA, a 850hp engine, laser warning system, thermal sights and the ability to fire APFSDS.
- Vickers MK.3 “Improved” (I)
Once again similar to the vickers Mk.3 ingame but with a new cast hull providing better protection. It also featured a 800hp engine and improved ammunition.
- Saladin 90mm
An upgraded version of the Saladin armoured car. The 76mm low velocity gun was replaced with a high velocity 90mm gun with access to APFSDS, HEAT and HESH ammunition. The engine was also upgraded to increase horsepower from 170 to 250 horsepower giving it a good power to weight ratio of around 23 hp/ton.
Theres tons more I could list but thats some ones I think would be nice additions, most because they provide good mobility which the UK tree currently lacks

and id KILL for the SST Goliath/Chimera. But since its a totally paper tank its a Vehicle that likely will never come.

Or what about the Apparent War Kits that were developed for the Chieftains in the late 60s when Chobham was first being tested?
Ive heard a FEW people discus them, But never seen a picture, a blueprint, anything about it, other than people talk about the 60s/70s Era Chobham War Kit for the Chieftain.
