[2023] Challenger 2E: Hurry up, Sir!

A lil somethin somethin: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page here.

A new British top-tier main battle tank comes equipped with a new power plant and improved mobility.

Challenger 2E, main battle tank, Britain, rank VII Features:

• Improved dynamics and top speed
  
• Thermal vision for the commander, gunner and driver views
  
• Good protection at the turret front

The Challenger 2E is a new member of Britain's top tier tank family that will become available for research with the release of the next War Thunder update. The tank solves the main problem of its series - unsatisfactory mobility. The new power pack not only increases the maximum speed to 72 km/h, but also significantly increases the tank's throttle response, improving the turn dynamics and making it much easier to climb hills. That’s the way!



The pros of the series fit the new dynamics perfectly: a good stabilised gun with punchy L27A1 armour-piercing fin-stabilised rounds and a comfortable fire control system with a laser rangefinder and thermal imagers for the commander, gunner and driver. Composite armour allows survival from multiple hits and is especially good at the turret’s front.



The new British top rank tank, new locations, vehicles, new game features and improvements are waiting for you in the first major update of 2023 in War Thunder. Coming soon!
