OVERVIEW:
The Challenger 2 is a main battle tank built by the British company Alvis Vickers (now part of BAE Systems Land and Armaments). Challenger 2 is the third vehicle to carry the title. This tank is developed from the original Challenger 1. The Challenger was the British army's MBT from the early 1980s to the mid 1990s. Although the Challenger 2 was developed from Challenger 1, the new vehicle is a complete redesign—fewer than 5% of components are interchangeable. The Challenger 2 has now replaced the Challenger 1 in service with the British Army and is also used by the Royal Army of Oman. The tank uses a classified Chobham armor.

The UK placed orders for 127 Challenger 2 tanks in 1991 and an additional 259 in 1994. Oman ordered 18 of the tanks in 1993 and a further 20 in November 1997. Challenger 2 entered service with the British Army in 1998, with the last tanks delivered in 2002. It is expected to remain in service until 2035. Deliveries for Oman were completed in 2001. The Challenger 2 has seen operational service in Bosnia, Kosovo and Iraq (2003–present).

Okay so I have been checking a lots of léo 2A6/Challenger II pictures lately and I think that both of them can't be the Emmerian Tank... May be we just have to list this tank as an "unknown MBT"...

So what do you think ?


Sorry for my (possible) bad english, I'm french :)

Oh they're Challenger IIs, it's just the tanks that appear in the cutscenes for some reason seem to resemble the (never built) Leopard III.

Well the Challenger has 6 "wheels", the Emmerian tank has 7...
The turret design doesn't really match with the Challenger...
The only things that remind me a Challenger II on this MBT is the little "square thing" on the canon/turret junction...

What were the improvements over the Leopard II apart from the CROWS and the periscope?

Unfortunately, I don't know. Apart from these pics on it's (would be) appearance, I have no other info on the Leopard III.

Well duh. Of course it must have better armor and systems than the preceeding one, I mean in what sense and what equipment.

^ Hard to tell, the closest one seems more T-34-like at best.

ACS is a anarchy where you can get away with any stupid comment, if you like ACS fine but you're wrong. No matter what logic you come up with. It is only "fun" in an online world were these conditions of anonymity exist and people can escape their lives and play alpha pseudo intellectual.

There are no T-34-85 in any AC games so no.

It's just a random tank, and with this words in front, it's hard to know which.
