ah wait! I bet they are testing the water to see if there is enough interest to make it premium so people have to buy it...

Tell them no, not interested

I'll tell them no, but a premium Challenger 2 would be an instant buy for me :(

They don't decide whether or not a premium vehicle is premium based off of the hype. Hence the last two Italian premium helicopters, and the Lightning F.53. No interest in them at all, but they were still premiums. A lot of premiums are useless and undersell. All premiums are announced as premiums.

From the developer blog they said "Britain's top tier tank family that will become available for research with the release of the next War Thunder update"

My tip is it will be their first Squadron Tank

I suspect it will be put before the black night besides the snail now allows you to continue researching a vehicle if you were doing so before it got moved for a month or two

Just a small tip as you are grinding uk top tier forget about the Challenger 2 Tes its honestly not worth a crew slot

After the Vickers Mk. 7 as the Challenger 2E is the Export variant

i was going to grind out Black Knight. but those Challies are so damn slow man! seriously? How can you have fun staying at the back and sniping all day long.... Maybe the 2E will change that, but surely a tank from 1998 can't be a BR 11,3?

Pretty sure you can "ignore" Challenger 2E while continue to research as much as you can before time expire and force you to research first before current tank

I am researching Black Night now, that is 400,000 RP . Ouch. It is painful. Whether the Challenger 2E is slotted after Black Night or Vickers Mk 7 or before Black Night is immaterial to me. However, the 1500 hp and increased speed would be greatly welcome given how agonisingly sluggish the Challenger 2 series is.

I wonder if the Challenger 2 Street Fighter II will get added eventually.

The TES seems to me to be a huge upgrade over the previous 2 tho? Especially with that big bit of add armor on the lower glacis. The challys are already slow, i dont see how being a little slower in exchange for more than doubling the front plate is too big a deal.

Also wtf is the antenna on that thing? seen it quoted as a jammer but does it actually function?

[Manrage]

It is noted as an export vehicle, so there is a chance that it'll be added after the Vickers mk7 since that was also an export vehicle, but we won't know until the first dev server comes out so maybe this upcoming weekend we will see, would suck so much if we had to grind out 4 challenger 2s and none of them are foldered

The TES is just an abomination thanks to the pathetic composite values they were given. The lower plate composite block cant stop anything besides you can get it on a spaded 2f. The best part is the snail thought the tes tank needed a nerf and removed the era its now the exact same vehicle as the 2f with no benefits just much less mobile. You will get the antenna/jammer on the 2f with the armour module however its a huge disadvantage as everyone can see where you are when hull down.

Here is the order of challys best to worst
Black night(Aps good for helis) -> 2f(Without armour upgrade to avoid the antenna) ->
Base chally 2 -> Chally mk3 -> Chally 2 Tes
