slysniper Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Was playing a cmbo pbem and I have two challenger tanks, great tanks, then I thought that name didn't seem correct. Pulled out my books and say to myself, oops, did this tank get named incorrect. This appears to be the Comet that I am playing with, is this correct? or am I smoking something that is giving me new visions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Depends on which tank you actually had. Both the Challenger and Comet are available in CMBO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEY Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 The below links should help understand these tanks a bit more. http://www.geocities.com/nasenoviny/ChallengerEN.html http://www.angelfire.com/ct/ww2europe/britisharmor.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 So there is a WWII challenger, I thought it did not appear until after the war, thanks for the link. Amazing, all these years with a great interest in WWII history and learning or forgeting and relearning still. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Challenger saw service as early as the Normandy campaign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 It is my fault, didn't research close enough. I will be going back to the book that lead me astray and see what happen to what info.I thought I found. I will admit though, I am not as sharp on my knowledge of British tanks as to most other nationalities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Heh, I'd give my eye-teeth to field a modern Challenger against Ze Germans in CM. It doesn't help that both Challenger (WWII) and Comet are modified Cromwells with a 3" gun. I'd prefer the Comet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KG_Jag Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 But then you would have to allow the Germans a Leopard II! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Only if I was playing fair. I see no reason why I would. In any case, it would be a much more even match than a WWII Challenger vs a Panther or Tiger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
