Vehicle Description

A Tier IX Premium British tank with an accurate gun and good elevation/depression angles. The vehicle boasts nice mobility for its type, great view range and good frontal armor, however the side and rear protection leave something to be desired.

Historical Reference

The development of a new tank for the British Army started in 1951. During research, various armaments, power units, and transmissions were considered. In January 1960, the first prototype of a new vehicle was built. In total, 6 prototypes were built that were improved several times during the trials. The continued work on the prototypes led to the Chieftain being adopted for service in 1966.
