Gotta love that rifling in a tank, pretty rare these days!

Challenger 2 is a superb MBT by any measure. Pakistan should take a look at this beast, if possible.

Both Challenger 1 and Challenge 2 registered stunning performance in the battlefield(s).

I don't like Rifled gun, for some reason, but then I am not a tank driver. I was a cavalryman.

Not sure whether or not this upgrade suit is good, hasn't read up much on it was quite busy working atm lol..

Yeah they are quite redundant now given accuracy of smoothbore these days....but I still quite like them...they remind me of the legacy of the great tank era.

Not really, its one of the worst modern tanks. Outdated gun, too long hull with weak armor.

How is the Chobham armour weak?

Weak armor?

"During the 2003 Iraq War, one Challenger 2 sustained multiple direct RPG hits* and a MILAN anti-tank missile but survived and returned to service several hours later." - Soldier of Fortune

*14 in total.

American M1 Abrams series have Depleted Uranium mesh for enhanced protection (not for export). British Challenger 2 have Dorchester armor mesh for enhanced protection (not for export).

There is one documented incident of an RPG-29 penetrating a Challenger 2 but the British have plugged relevant soft spots with Streetfighter armor enhancement subsequently.

Outdated gun?

"During the offensive one, Challenger finally laid to rest the doubts anyone had over the capability of the type with a single shot. That shot was made over a staggering range of 5,100m (3 miles) with a Depleted Uranium (DU) round – the longest confirmed tank kill in history!" - Spec Ops Magazine

Rifled gun does have its cons, but the British have done a good job with the rifled gun of Challenger 2.

I hold you in high regard due to your good nature, exposure and knowledge, but I would disagree with your view about this MBT.

I would say that the Challenger 2 is underrated. The Black Knight upgrade suite will uplift this already formidable MBT to latest standards.

Cavalry is traditional. Cavalry Regiment or Division.

Cavalry = armour
