Hedgehog Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Oh, I perfectly understand why different behaviors were necessary, don't get me wrong. I just question the wisdom of the design decisions behind it.Well it was designed by a Board of Pvt company designers/director..Cheiftain was designed by the Army Design comittee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Well going from last at "CAT" with the Challenger 1 system to first (from memory) at "CAT" with the Challenger 2 system sort of speaks for itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to get there myself but I am having trouble getting time off. It looks like there will be much to see. Irish 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalAB Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 It's going to be nice to have a crewable Challenger - I hope. Their's also some crazy rumor floating around about a crewable M1A2 that may be in the works too. Is there a chance that some of the models for the other crewable tanks may see a face lift? Anyway looking forward to the upgrade when it comes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanker6742@hotmail.com Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 As I'm going to send out press releases next week anyway: We now have a playable Challenger-2 in SB Pro, and will present it to the general public in May.It's an ... interesting, and decidedly British fire control system, I have to say, with differently behaving reticles for day and thermal sight. Someone deserves a thorough spanking for this. We shall see at the ITEC if our solution matches the quality of the VBS model. What do you mean by interesting and decidedly british fire control? And thanks for the info. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted March 24, 2011 Members Share Posted March 24, 2011 It's ... unique, in a way. You'll have to wait for the release to find out why. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
