-The Challenger bears the 120 mm L11A5, an updated but essentially identical version of the gun found on the Chieftains. It has access to the same rounds as the Chieftain Mk 10, with the notable addition of the L23A1 APFSDS ammunition. Despite having worse flat plate penetration(24mm less than L23 at 1km), L23A1 penetrates angled armor much more efficiently than its predecessor (29mm more than L23 at 1km 60°), making it especially useful for dealing with Russian late T-series hulls.

Shooting just left of the driver's port can even cause a crew kill instantly, even with L23 at 1000m. Just be aware that DM13 and DM23 will have no issues penetrating your hull either.

-* [[T-64A (1971)]]: APFSDS will go right through the front of this tank, but the Challenger can still be penetrated by the top APFSDS (3BM12) in the weak spot on the turret's leading edge.

 The {{PAGENAME}}'s speed sets it apart from the previous Chieftain tanks, as it is capable of reaching 56 km/h on roads and 46 km/h off-road. Reverse speed is also a noticeable improvement from the Chieftain line. Despite this, the 62 ton mass of this vehicle makes it the slowest of its high-rank contemporaries (e.g. Abrams, Leopard, and Type 90).
