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 further development of the British main battle tank series that was created in the late 1990s for export to other countries, primarily Greece. The tank was equipped with new sights for the commander and gunner, as well as improved driving performance. As a power plant for this version, a new power pack was used, which included the MTU MT883 diesel engine and automatic transmission. In 2005, due to the lack of orders for this modification of the Challenger 2, BAE Systems decided to scuttle the project.
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!

What's this? The snail rewarding the Brits? I guess there ARE miracles!
Not bad. Nothing for people like me buuut I´ll take it (i thought this would get here eventually as a premium or event vehicle :D ).. But its funny.. Britons: "Ohh okay.Harrier GR7 is really good ground striker. Now we need finally some new fighter. We are stuck in FGR for years." - Gaijin: "Ohh no problem guys. Here´s the worst possible version of ground strike Tornado you could get".... Britons: "We would like to get some new IFVs. Ajax or Scimitars."... "So you want the new CR2?No problem":D
Challengers definitely needed more mobility, but at the sacrifice of all armour upgrade packages, this Challenger will be easy pickings for even low tier AA, which is very sad. I think that this specific version of the Challenger would've been a perfect premium considering it's difference with the main line Challengers and historical background on why it was build. Shame, would've preferred seeing a good IFV.
Where is leopard2a7? We need this cool thing.
I believe that most of British tank players may want a new IFV like AJAX or FV520, hope they could be added in game early. Anyway, a faster Challanger 2 is good.
nice
Oh no, another heavy scrap
Yeeeeah Boi
any new rounds?and where is the old armor pack?
