@Jan38A Chieftain tank was underpowered but by the time the proper engine was ready we had moved to developing Challenger 1
-
@Spikes99999 Infantry dug in in Germany on Exercises said they could 'feel' a Chieftain coming for several miles!
-
@ak907jk The early engines had a 90% failure rate - lot's of cylinder liner problems. Add to this lot's of leaks, which got onto the steering discs - causing steering problems. My first Chieftain in 1975 had 4 new engines in 3 months - with a total mileage of 200, about 50 miles per engine!

Cheifton, Centurion and Challenger, the holy trinity of British tank designs
-
@Jan38A and challenger 2 is much better than both of those all the lessons were learnt from chieftan and challenger
-
I have this tank encyclopedia and it says this tank had horrendous engine failures and was unreliable I don't know the Chieftain in this video looks like it could do alot of damage and like the guy said it looks as though it's built from good material does anyone know if the engine failures are true?
-
I saw the Chieftain at Grafenwoer in Germany....it's crew described it as a "rum lot." It was a bit long in the tooth by then, up against Leopards and M-60A3's. They came in 4th that year (out of 4).

@Jan38A You're right about Chieftain, it was woefully underpowered with a crap engine, but by the time Challenger came along, lessons had been learned.and the engine was a much more powerful Rolls Royce diesel.
-
that engine! you can hear pretty much nothing until its right on top of you lol
-
@Jan38A what about the challenger 2 it one of the best tanks in the world

I belive that the british tanks like Chieftain or Challenger are very good tanks, but maybe a bit underpowered...
