The Challenger Mk.3 is an upgraded modification of the well-known British Challenger MBT, introducing, most notably, additional reactive armour elements to bolster the vehicle’s protection against HEAT rounds. Meet the new and improved Challenger MBT coming to War Thunder as part of the upcoming update 1.85!
Briefly: An upgraded modification of the Challenger MBT with add-on ERA elements that boost the vehicle’s protection.
Several updates ago, we introduced the mighty Challenger Mk 2 MBT to the top rank of the British ground forces tree, giving British tankers their own modern high performance MBT, as a counter to other nation’s vehicles with similar performance. In the upcoming update 1.85, we are pleased to present a new modification of the revered Challenger Mk 2, sporting additional ERA and composite armour packs that increase the vehicle’s protection.
The overall performance of the new Challenger Mk.3 doesn’t change compared to the existing Mk.2 already available in War Thunder. The vehicle still uses the same engine, suspension, gun, ammunition and armour layout. However, what does separate the Mk.3 from the Mk.2 is the addition of add-on ERA and composite armour elements to the front and sides of the vehicle’s hull.
The add-on ERA packs cover the vehicle’s lower front glacis plates, thus greatly increasing protection against HEAT rounds. The vehicle’s simple metal sheet side skirts were also replaced with composite armour screens on the front and rear portions of the hull sides, whereas ERA blocks cover the centre, offering increased protection for the fighting compartment against HEAT rounds. Additionally, all ammunition is now stowed in armoured bins on the Challenger Mk.3, thus decreasing the chances of a penetrating shot igniting the stowed rounds.
Overall, the Challenger Mk.3 offers improved protection against enemy fire and greatly increases survivability compared to the familiar Mk.2 model. We’re sure that seasoned Challenger drivers will make excellent use of the this new addition to their top tier lineup!
Be sure to try out the new Challenger Mk.3 main battle tank, coming to the top rank of the British ground forces tree with the upcoming War Thunder update 1.85. In the meantime, stay tuned to the news to see what else update 1.85 has in store for you. Until then, happy hunting tankers!

A bug still exists when playing naval forces with ammo of aeroplanes resetting to default after every battle. There have been other members who have addressed this issue in the forums, only to have the thread subsequently locked. Will this issue be addressed, or is the Naval forces module just War Thunder ballast?
when fix MK2 Upper Glacis KE protection 500mm over? in game upper glacis KE250mm that mean in MK1, not MK2!
what.... a update to the british tree? lol
"we are pleased to present a new modification of the revered Challenger 2" please correct this.
You guys should make the hangar a map.
Still a typo btw "we are pleased to present a new modification of the revered Challenger 2" Also, will the Mk.3 also be equipped with a engine smoke generator?
So we got a new variant of the Challenger. but what about a new variant of the Hunter? It would make a great new aircraft! I'm not saying it isn't good that we got a new variant of the Challenger but it would be great to get some more aircraft.
Plane please...
This mk3 can't be helpful to British ground force without a fresh shell.Do you guys agree with me ??Gaijin did lots of fucking things to Tommys , for example the damage of Hispano and all APCBC shells.
So disappointed to Anton because he only wants Dollar instead of making the game a masterpiece !We don't want our beloved game to be destroyed by its inventor ! Anyway we are going to quit the game and delete it if gaijin don't make a real balance.
