The Chieftain Family / War Thunder
Ойындар
Centurion tanks, developed during WW2, served the British army well. The design proved to be effective, and the arrival of the legendary Royal Ordnance L7 cannon allowed the ‘Cent’ to be in use a full fifteen years after it was first accepted into service. Nevertheless, the Centurion was still undergoing trials, when the far-sighted British started working on the successor vehicle. After quite a lot of time spent developing the A45 Universal Tank, engineers finally came up with the Conqueror heavy tank… which, by the standards of the 1950’s, was already somewhat dated.

Yeah, I found that the Cent 1 is still fairly cheap to repair and still gives you a good round just not as nice of gun handling or armor. So I end up grinding like four matches in the Cent 1 for every match I play with the BR 7.0s.

R.I.P, They forgot the SPAAG Variant: Chieftain Marksman which tested the Marksman system.. Ironically lt's the only chieftain I have.
my favorite chieftain is the chieftain marksman. an episode on British SPAA would be cool, especially since there's that new ADATS in the British tree now.
Have a merry Christmas Bruce
What Bruce forgot to mention is that there was an Anglo-Israeli collaboration on the development of the Chieftain's latter stages. Then Britain pulled out of a deal so that they wouldn't feel the wrath of the Arab nations. One of the nations that the British sold the Chieftain to was Iran, which seriously backfired for them when the 1979 Iranian Revolution. The experience from the collaboration spurred the creation of the Israeli Merkava, the development programme of which was led by General Israel Tal, who had worked closely with the British in the Anglo-Israeli Chieftain project.
'By the 80s the Chieftain was outdated, and left much to be desired' is that why the Soviets still deployed their most up to date tanks on whatever parts of the east / west german border where Chieftains were stationed

They still use the chieftains in Oman i believe, as well as in Iran, which has developed a lot of its newer MBTS off of the design.
i hope we get shir 1 and shir 2 MBTs(specialzed versions of chieftain and one of chalenger prototypes for iranian army) as an event tank for british techtree in the future.
I remember back when I first grinded the British tree before the sabot buffs, I absolutely hated the chieftain. It was slow, and the gun was awful. But then gaijin buffed sabot shells, a couple of times I think, actually; and it was like flipping a switch. Combined with a BR reduction, the chieftain mk 3 and 5 absolutely rip. Dependable and deadly, like the best British tanks.
My favourite Chieftain is the one that won the CAT’70 NATO tank competition.

I love this tank on br 9.0 with apfsds it’s enough to pen lower panel of turms
Okay lets get some things straight. The first Chieftains were not very mobile. They were more than 10 tons overweight and their Leland L60 multi-fuel engine was underpowered. The first Chieftains had to be winched onto tank transporters as they couldn’t get up the ramps. The L60 was also hopelessly unreliable and would plague British Chieftains throughout their service. The 700+ condor engines were only ever fitted to export models and the Chieftain 900 prototype. Mobility problems were partially fixed with an improved L60, which didn’t actually have any more horse power, and a new transmission. Despite their shortcomings Chieftains were THE most powerful tank in the world, Albee to shrug off T-55, T-62, T-64 and even early T-72 rounds. They were bumped down to the second most powerful when the Leopard 2 tank showed up. Chieftains were retired by the British in the 1990s but are still in service with Iran and I believe Jordan might also have a few still going.
