This matters as it makes for a very smooth gun platform. Mr Crump said: “Although other tanks might have more horsepower for tonne, Challenger 2 is able to maintain speed very well and is incredibly stable and flexible over difficult ground. “Similarly four-person crews rather than three with Russian designs can better stand up to pressures due to being able to share the general workload of life in the field – for example sentry duties, camouflage and concealment and maintenance tasks.”Īnother standout feature of the tank is the hydro-pneumatic suspension of the tank. The BV, said Mr Crump, is an example of how small things make a big difference in battle. “I’ve used the BV a lot – even as a commander you often find yourself on the loader’s side of the turret… plus you have to know everyone’s jobs. What makes the job slightly easier is being able to make a hot drink with the boiling vessel (BV).
